Lord Gnaeus Ramanayan Caesar

Lord Ramanayan himself considers Chaos Ascendant and Tragedy of Tenes his best works.

History

The Forgotten War* (Deoch 18)

The Forgotten War was Lord Ramanayan's first published and recognized work. It is an account of a pre-shadow war battle between Chadul and Danaan that was relatively unknown until this work was published. However looking back at it the work’s sources Lord Ramanayan now says they were very old and difficult to understand and now he believes that the “war” was only several small battles.

History of the Fiosachd Wars (Deoch 21)

Lord Ramanayan first attempted to set history straight in this work on the Fiosachd War, which involved the factions of Lord Ramanayan and the high priestesses at the time, Feena and Felicity. This work is typically regarded as being very biased - in Lord Ramanayan's biography Chapter III: Heretic provides a more detailed and neutral examination of this time.

Chaos Ascendant* (Deoch 33)

One of the best works written on aisling history this is a complete history of Temuair from Deochs 17-24. Included is information on Necromancy, the Dynasty coup d'état, Tagor, the Light and Dark war, as well as numerous other happenings.

Rediscovery of the Aisling Spark (unfinished as of Deoch 36)

Continuing where Chaos Ascendant left off Ramanayan continues to guide us through aisling history through Deochs 25-32. This work is incomplete but is nonetheless an interesting historical read as several sections are complete.

Philosophy

Grimlok and Goblins: Society, Social Structures, and Lore* (Deoch 19)

This was Lord Ramanayan's first philosophical work and he decided to take his readers into the worlds of the Grimlok and Goblins. This award winning philosophy outlines and describes the society and social structures that make up both the Grimlok and Goblin cultures. Also included is a small lore location and drop supplement as well as a Pravat War section.

Secrets of the Draco Civilization (unfinished as of Deoch 31)

This ambitious philosophy on the Draco Civilization would have been among the first ever compiled on the subject. Sadly it was never completed. Lord Ramanayan had to leave this work unfinished with only a fraction completed due to the political upheaval at the time of this writing.

Lore

Guide to Necromancy: Second Edition (Deoch 22 | 44)
Original Edition

Lord Ramanayan was the first writer of a guide to the dark arts of Necromancy. This work details how to become a necromancer, summons, items, and all other information needed to pursue and understand this dark path. Originally written in Deoch 22 Lord Ramanayan prepared an updated Second Edition in Deoch 44. Some information is expanded on although the content remains the same as the original edition, which is also available.

Temuair Monster Encyclopedia (Deoch 26)

When it was first published this was the biggest and most comprehensive guide to creatures in Temuair. It contained all dungeons and all creatures they contained within even all now extinct creatures. Also is complete information on each monster including a description, experience, drops, and more. Although this work is out of date, the majority of the dungeons and information have remained the same.

Sadly the Temuair Monster Encyclopedia has been lost to time. At this time no known copies exist, however efforts continue to find one.

Literature

Legacy of Tenes: Rise of the League (play script, Deoch 35)

One of the few historical plays written by aislings Lord Ramanayan Caesar presented this epic tale of the rise of the League of Darkness and follows the career of its legendary founder, Tenes. The story begins after Tenes has defeated the Rucesion wizard army and continues until the signing of the Anaman Pact.

Typically, Lord Ramanayan's other play, Tragedy of Tenes, is considered far superior to Rise of the League.

Rise of the League was originally planned as a musical - as such two songs still remain within the script.

The General (short parable, Deoch 37)

Presenting his case to the ignorant judges of Mileth this parable tells the story of the lack of leadership and why some aislings are afraid to make new leaders.

Tragedy of Tenes (play script, Deoch 44)

Lord Ramanayan began working on this play shortly after finishing Legacy of Tenes: Rise of the League though he did not complete it for almost a decade. The Tragedy of Tenes tells the story of the final days of Tenes and his League of Darkness. This play is written in very poetic language and is quite different from the other Tenes play. In Ramanayan's own opinion this play is far superior to Rise of the League.
