The Sworn Book of Scorn

The reader coming from the start page expects a long tome to read.
But this page contains mainly short lists with links to other pages.
Furthermore the filename is misleading : “mechanics” . Crossfire maps have a large variety of
hidden mechanics whose purposes are to add random effects to the game.

Scholars and Wizards have argued for eons about the details outlined in the “Sworn Book of Scorn”, said to be the single most comprehensive grimoire on the world most commonly known as Crossfire. Beware, the following grimoire contains texts gleaned from the shreds of documents that litter the world. Whilst the utmost care has been taken to eliminate texts that contradict or confuse, the authors cannot vouch for the veracity of everything contained.
