NIALL CHRISTIE is a medieval Islamic historian who lives in Vancouver, Canada. When not working or writing material for Ars Magica, he enjoys singing, reading, wargaming, and playing guitar badly. Niall would like to dedicate his contribution to this book to the memory of PM, sadly missed, and to Steph vanWilligenburg, eternally.

ERIK DAHL lives and works in a small university town in California, where he indulges his creativity with games and music of all sorts (many of his songs are available for free download at www.volvomaroon.com). He is very grateful to have worked with so many learned and dedicated people on this project — his fellow authors, the playtesters, David Chart, the folks at Hermes' Portal (www.hermesportal.fr.st), and Jerry, Kim, and Tom — and he hopes that through their collective efforts they have described a world that allows great stories about deeply held beliefs to gloriously manifest.

MATT RYAN lives in Upstate New York and is greatly anticipating the coming spring. He works for a major university in a decisively un-medieval field. He has been playing Ars Magica for over thirteen years and is thrilled to be a contributor, albeit a minor one, to this project. A single father, he enjoys playing with his son, August, reading Middle English texts, and rolling copious amounts of botch dice during his regular Thursday night gaming sessions. Dedication: To Carlton and Jean Ryan, loving parents.

ALEXANDER WHITE has just about finished his honors degree in Medieval and Classical History at the University of Melbourne (in Australia), but doesn't plan on leaving university studies any time soon. He divides his time between study, gainfully working for a Member of Parliament, union and community activism, agitating in the campus newspaper, and running an Ars Magica saga. When not writing Ars Magica books, he can be found blogging, drawing political comics, and reading obscure texts on Late Antiquity Rome.

MARK LAWFORD still lives in Eastbourne in the UK, where he splits his time between working hard, working-out harder, and working on Ars Magica much harder than is probably sensible. He's enjoying two of these things immensely. He would like to dedicate his new chapter to two people. Firstly, Erik Dahl for reigniting his interest and enthusiasm for Mythic Judaism and the Kabbalah in particular. And secondly, to David Chart for giving him the chance to contribute to one of the line's cornerstone books.

Ars Magica players participate in a thriving fan community by subscribing to email discussion lists (like the Berkeley list), compiling archives of game material (such as Project Redcap), maintaining fan-created web sites, and running demos through Atlas Games' Special Ops program.
