Description

While our programmer toils on apparel and inventory I'm in design, modeling and writing lore for various items you'll be randomly able to find at Gyes in containers. Here are several in-game books (items modeled with description prepared) I mentioned during our Kickstarter campaign as "the books of my lore inspiration". P.s.: their final cover's designs are made by me as well :)

Book "The White Death"

This book is made from some kind of plastic or composite polymer fabric. Despite it is, definitely, not a paper, you really like the feel of it. The title of the book declares "The White Death, by Stanislaw Lem". Printed markings on the cover indicate "Rock Books Ltd." as the publishing company. As well as the year of printing - 128AR; and the place of manufacturing - Eos, Underearth.

The book synopsis says:

"Aragena was a planet built up on the inside, because its ruler, Metameric - who in the equatorial plane extended three hundred and sixty degrees and thereby encircled his kingdom, being not only its lord but also its shield - wishing to protect his devoted subjects, the Enterites, against cosmic invasion, forbade the moving of anything whatever, even of the smallest pebble, upon the surface of the globe. Therefore the continents of Aragena lay wild and barren, and only the ax-blows of lightning hewed its flint mountain ridges, while meteors carved the land with craters. But ten miles beneath the surface unfolded a region of exuberant industry; the Ententes, hollowing out their mother planet, filled its interior with crystal gardens and cities of silver and gold; they raised up, inside-out, houses in the shape of dodecahedrons and icosahedrons, and also hyperboloid palaces, in whose shining cupolas you could see yourself magnified twenty thousand times, as in a hall of giants - for the Enterites were fond of splendor and geometry, and were topnotch builders besides.
