[RFO-PhX] The Overthrow: The Sons of Unity

[RFO-PhX Fiction] Tales of the Negatios: The Angel of Light and the Revelation of Endtimes

Note: the original of this used Zanyuki’s Book of Zan, the original Book of Heresy. In my personal, revised RF, Catherine Luminus instead receives a copy of the Negatios, first penned by Eltania Elis and kept and studied by no less than her grandfather, Alestar Edian.
