The 2002 Sethos Edition of Azoëtia is the definitive edition of Andrew Chumbley’s groundbreaking foundational work on the Sabbatic Tradition. With significant additions, revisions, and added artwork, it also bears a new introduction by the author taking ten years of publication history into perspective. Over the course of 2002 and 2003, the work was issued in five different forms, all co-designed by Andrew D. Chumbley and Daniel A. Schulke.
