  Note on Standard Usage

  Quite a number of contributors to Project Aon have reported inconsistencies regarding the use of words such as Drakkar across the series. After much research into the usage of Drakkar/Drakkarim, Nadziran/Nadziranim, and Ligan/Liganim across the books, we have decided to standardise the usage of the words in the following ways, which represent majority usage:

  noun (s.): Drakkar

  noun (pl.): Drakkarim

  adj: Drakkarim

  noun (s.): Nadziran

  noun (pl.): Nadziranim

  adj: Nadziranim

  noun (s.): Ligan

  noun (pl.): Liganim

  adj: Liganim

  All of the other words ending in -im either already conform to these rules (i.e. gazim, kuzim, lajakim, rekenarim, Sharnazim, and Tefarim) or cannot be conclusively tied to Darkland languages (e.g. Ghagrim).

  Footnotes

  [1] (The Game Rules) If you have completed any previous Lone Wolf New Order adventures, remember to choose an additional Grand Master Discipline and add +1 to your basic COMBAT SKILL and +2 to your basic ENDURANCE for each adventure you successfully completed (cf. Grand Master Disciplines).

  [2] (New Order Kai Grand Master Disciplines) Given the rules for the previous Lone Wolf books, it seems odd that a Grand Master is only allowed to choose to be proficient in one of the few Weapons listed in the Equipment section. In view of the unprecedented nature of this rule, you might decide that it is acceptable to be proficient in any of the ten Weapons that the Kai typically train to use.

  [3] (New Order Kai Grand Master Disciplines) The rules in the Collector's Editions state that the bonus for Grand Weaponmastery with Bow is 5. Certain sections direct the reader to use different bonuses when using a Bow, ranging from 3 to 5, if you have Grand Weaponmastery with Bow. This may be the author adjusting the Grand Weaponmastery bonus on a case-by-case basis (and therefore this bonus should be used instead of the standard bonus) or an error (and therefore all of these bonuses should be 5). It is up to you to decide, but it seems most reasonable to follow the first alternative, to replace the Grand Weaponmastery bonus with whatever bonus is mentioned in that section.

  [4] (New Order Kai Grand Master Disciplines) Details about the Kai Weapon appear in the next section of the game rules.

  [5] (Equipment) If you have completed any of the previous Lone Wolf New Order adventures (Books 21+), you already possess a Kai Weapon.

  [6] (Equipment) These bonuses are not cumulative.

  [7] (Equipment) ‘Valiance’ is also effective against magical creatures.

  [8] (Levels of New Order Kai Grand Mastership) It is unclear why a New Order Grand Master becomes a Supreme Master by mastering only 15 of the 16 Grand Master Disciplines. It is also unclear why New Order Grand Masters must master four extra Disciplines in order to receive the same improvements to their Disciplines as Lone Wolf did with fewer.

  [9] (Section 11) The section corresponding to the correct answer will have a footnote confirming that it is indeed correct.

  [10] (Section 12) This is the correct answer to the combination lock in Section 219.

  [11] (Section 20) This is the correct answer to the combination lock in Sections 39, 256, 293, and 348.

  [12] (Section 38) This section is unreachable and superfluous since it is equivalent to Section 301.

  [13] (Section 39) The section corresponding to the correct answer will have a footnote confirming that it is indeed correct.

  [14] (Section 79) The Obhanthor takes up one Backpack slot. You may use it at any time during the game if you possess a Meal and wish to use it, or if one can be obtained by the use of Grand Huntmastery.

  [15] (Section 105) This is the correct answer to the combination lock in Sections 11 and 300.

  [16] (Section 130) The Tortwich takes up one Backpack slot.

  [17] (Section 163) Each jar takes up one Backpack slot. You may use the Obhanthor at any time during the game if you possess a Meal and wish to use it, or if one can be obtained by the use of Grand Huntmastery.

  [18] (Section 219) The section corresponding to the correct answer will have a footnote confirming that it is indeed correct.

  [19] (Section 234) Each vial takes up one Backpack slot. You may use the Venell at any time during the game if you possess a Meal and wish to use it, or if one can be obtained by the use of Grand Huntmastery.

  [20] (Section 256) The section corresponding to the correct answer will have a footnote confirming that it is indeed correct.

  [21] (Section 293) The section corresponding to the correct answer will have a footnote confirming that it is indeed correct.

  [22] (Section 300) The section corresponding to the correct answer will have a footnote confirming that it is indeed correct.

  [23] (Section 348) The section corresponding to the correct answer will have a footnote confirming that it is indeed correct.
