Et qui non est inventus in libro vitae scriptus, missus est in stagnum ignis.

And whoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

APOC. XX, XVREVELATION 20:15

Quae VERUM signantur, historia vera sunt; quae FICTUM, fabula ludi sunt. Qui cruce notantur, ex libro vitae deleti sunt.

Entries marked REAL are real history. Entries marked FICTION belong to the game's alternate history: they are not claims about real people or events, and not predictions. A cross marks the game's fictional dead, struck from the Book of Life.
