Light of a Distant Star/Index

Light of a Distant Star book cover

This is an index of all the terms and proper nouns used in Bill Ward's serialized novella Light of a Distant Star, which was published initially within the Pathfinder Adventure Path: Shattered Star as a Pathfinder's Journal series in 2012–2013.

Each entry is linked to a PathfinderWiki article about the subject. The number after the entry refers to the Chapter in which the term may be found; see the main page for Light of a Distant Star for a full list of its chapters.

Any comment in square brackets, [...], should be considered a temporary comment but provides particularly useful information for anyone who might create or amend a PathfinderWiki page about the subject. Please delete this data once it is subsumed within an article.

An 'A' followed by a number sequence is reference to artwork within the story relating to the article in question: [A 1/75] means artwork for the subject is found on p75 of Chapter 1 of the story. Again, this may be removed once an appropriate reference to the Art index is made.
