Shadows of Evil

Warning!

Violence, War, Magic & the Supernatural

The fictional world of Rifts® is violent, deadly and filled with supernatural monsters. Other-di­
mensional beings often referred to as "demons," torment, stalk and prey on humans. Other alien life
forms, monsters, gods and demigods, as well as magic, insanity, and war are all elements in this
book.

Some parents may find the violence, magic and supernatural elements of the game inappropriate
for young readers/players. We suggest parental discretion.

Please note that none of us at Palladium Books® condone or encourage the occult, the practice of
magic, the use of drugs, or violence.

An epic adventure sourcebook for the Rifts® series.
Compatible with the entire Palladium Books® Megaverse®!

Dedication

To my Dad, who together with Mom, taught me to stay out of the shadows and instilled in me the values of love, honesty
and goodness. Not to mention taught me the art of ping-pong. Thanks Dad.
