Reading the references

Printed page numbers are retained for rule cross-references. PDF page numbers identify the corresponding page in the source document. Page ranges may contain gaps where lore has moved to the Lore archive. Tables are presented as readable text; diagrams and illustrated examples retain their original source crops.

The text comes from a scanned document with OCR. Check the original PDF when a passage or table cell is flagged as uncertain. Follow a diagram’s “Open full-size chart” link for a closer look.

Source conversion notes

Complete page-by-page conversion of the 174-page source PDF. Source page markers use PDF page numbers; rule cross-references use the original printed page numbers. The source consists of scans with OCR. Maps, diagrams, forms and tables have faithful raster-backed SVG crops; artwork scans are extracted separately and omitted from this Markdown. Check those crops where OCR is uncertain.
