This third Annual for the Artesia series contains a full Timeline of the Known World, including 11 pages of detailed timelines and 11 accompanying maps to chart the history of the Artesia setting. Plus, two short stories bridge the gap between last year's Artesia Afire series and the forthcoming Artesia Besieged. In The "Throne of Huelt," Huelyin returns to the Citadel of Dara Dess to collect King Bran's throne, and in "Helmets and Heartaches" Artesia and her captains hear a love story about the Usurper of Palatia and Queen Nihagen of the Thulamites.
