In the distant past of Earthdawn ' s setting, an elf scholar discovered that the time of the Horrors was approaching, and founded the Eternal Library in order to discover a way to defeat them — or at the very least, survive them. The community that grew up around the library developed wards and protections against the Horrors, which they traded to other lands and eventually became the powerful Theran Empire, an extremely magically advanced civilization and the main antagonist of the Earthdawn setting.
The peoples of the world built kaers, underground towns and cities, which they sealed with the Theran wards to wait out the time of the Horrors, which was called the Scourge. Theran wizards and politicians warned many of the outlying nations around Thera of the coming of the Horrors, offering the protection of the kaers to those who would pledge their loyalty to the Empire. Most of these nations agreed at first though some became unwilling to fulfill their end of the bargain after the end of the Scourge, wanting to have nothing to do with the bureaucratic nation run on political conflict and powered by slavery.
After four hundred years of hiding, the Scourge ended, and the people emerged to a world changed by the Horrors. The player characters explore this new world, discovering lost secrets of the past, and fighting Horrors that remain. The primary setting of Earthdawn is Barsaive, a former province of the Theran Empire. Barsaive is a region of city-states, independent from the Therans since the dwarven Kingdom of Throal led a rebellion against their former overlords.
The Theran presence in Barsaive has been limited to a small part of south-western Barsaive, located around the magical fortress of Sky Point and the city of Vivane. The setting of Earthdawn is the same world as Shadowrun i.
Indeed, the map of Barsaive and its neighboring regions established that most of the game takes place where Ukraine and Russia are in our world. However, the topography other than coastlines and major rivers is quite different, and the only apparent reference to the real world besides the map may be the Blood Wood, known as 'Wyrm Wood' before the Scourge and similar in location and extent to the Chernobyl Ukrainian for 'wormwood' zone of alienation.
Note should be made that game world links between Earthdawn and Shadowrun were deliberately broken by the publisher when the Shadowrun property was licensed out, in order to avoid the necessity for coordination between publishing companies.
FASA has announced since that there are no plans to return Shadowrun to in-house publication, nor to restore the links between the game worlds. Two Earthdawn supplements cover territories outside Barsaive.
Earthdawn' s magic system is highly varied but the essential idea is that all player characters called Adepts have access to magic, used to perform abilities attained through their Disciplines. Each Discipline is given a unique set of Talents which are used to access the world's magic. Legend points the Earthdawn equivalent of experience points can be spent to put up the characters level in the Talent, increasing his step level for the ability, making the user more proficient at using that specific type of magic.
Caster Disciplines use the same Talent system as others, but also have access to spells. How a player character obtains spells varies depending on his Game Master; but how they are used is universal.
Casters all have special Talents called spell matrixes which they can place spells into. A spell attuned placed into to a matrix is easily accessible and can be cast at any time. Included in this packet is a four-panel cardstock screen that displays commonly used charts and tables for easy reference, and also provides a place to conceal adventure notes and dice rolls.
For tables not included on the screen, a full index of charts and tables in both the Player's Guide and Gamemaster's Guide is provided, making it easy The city has been a center of trade since before the Scourge and stayed out of the conflicts between Throal and Thera.

Back in September we already converted a fanmade character sheet to the Earthdawn 4th edition rules with the help of Mogan Weeks. The character sheet is 'unfortunately' no longer available at the download section at FASA games.
Earthdawn has also had German, French, Japanese [1] and Polish editions. This is known as the First Edition. The license was subsequently picked up by two companies: Living Room Games, who published the Second Edition from to , and RedBrick, who published a revised First Edition termed Earthdawn Classic from to and a Third Edition from until Update June 14th The character sheet is 'unfortunately' no longer available at the download section at FASA games.
ED4 Character Record Sheet The sheet uses the D12 dice table and it provides on 2 pages space for basic character stats. I would say for high circle characters it is not useful, but to start with Earthdawn it should be good enough. It simply provides the base stats of your char in a good overview, nothing more nothing less.
