Since the beginning of Flesh and Blood, we have been developing the world of Rathe. It was important for us to create an interesting, engaging, and cohesive fantasy realm to house the characters and stories that would appear within our game.
What started as a collection of short stories and concept sketches slowly developed into the foundations of our world. We selected some of the most important elements related to our first Booster product (Welcome to Rathe), and created the first Flesh and Blood World Guide.
FAB World Guide Vol. 1: Welcome to Rathe is a 134-page art book designed as a companion to Welcome to Rathe. In this book, we lay out the foundations of the four regions featured in Welcome to Rathe, starting with Solana, the Kingdom of Illumination.

Solanians uphold order and the way of the Light. The people of Solana place the greater good above all else, and the city itself reflects this through its structure and pristine geometry.

Yet where there is light, there must be creeping shadows. Underneath Solana's facade of light and order, a darkness lingers, growing ever stronger...
Our world guide is filled with many more stories, legends, journal pages, sketches, and card artwork - even some hints about the future of FAB.
For now, Vol. 1 of our world guide is available only as a non-retail in-store asset, provided free of charge to Local Game Stores around the world with the release of Welcome to Rathe.
