The following illustrations are not necessary to understand or enjoy the story. They are purely extras for the readers who like such things.

A note on the last measurements in the above diagram for those readers not steeped in age-of-sail terminology: Despite using "tons", those are measurements of volume, not weight. If one were to completely fill Nebula's hull with water, the water would weigh 850 tons. If her envelope were filled, the water would weigh 9,450 tons. Despite the label "lift", her load capacity is nowhere near that weight.

Appendix 2: Maps (Warning: Possible Spoilers)

Below are the maps acquired by Nebula's crew at Rocas Rojas in Chapter 6, including Twilight Sparkle's added notes. They contain mild spoilers for certain events. They are not necessary to understand the story, but may be enjoyable to study as the action progresses. To that end, I've noted what chapters should be read before looking at each map, if you want to completely avoid all spoilers.

Publisher's Note

On the Decacentennial of the Declaration of Universal Harmony, Grandleaf Publishing is proud to issue a special facsimile edition of Far Traveler's annotated masterwork, The Seven Century War, along with all the extant volumes mentioned in the added bibliography, in this deluxe boxed set.

Until now, the annotated volume has only been available to scholars travelling to the Black Gate City Archives to examine the original. Other copies of Far Traveler's history are common enough, and the work is considered to be a solid and accurate account of the great struggle that shaped our modern pandimensional civilization.

What makes this particular volume unique is that it has been exhaustively annotated and corrected by an unknown historian. At several points there are extra pages inserted into the volume in order to make room for lengthy commentaries. Much of what is asserted in this gloss cannot be verified, but in every single instance where evidence could be found relating to a passage, it has borne out the unknown historian's claims. There is a scrawled bibliography on the end flyleaf that includes the preceding, obviously fictional novel, and that is why it is included in this collection.

Perhaps the most interesting correction to The Seven Century War is on the title page. For all its brevity, it is generally agreed among scholars that it is highly significant.* There, the unknown historian has struck out the archaic word War and written in Endeavour.

* And indeed, I meant it to be.
