With its abundance of strange and often dangerous flora and fauna, Talislanta provides ample material for a naturalist's life work. Thystram's Collectanea, the life work of Talislanta's greatest naturalist, finally collects detailed descriptions of most life forms native to the continent of Talislanta and surrounding planes into one organized book.

Supplemented by the research of various historical figures and modern scholars, all entries have been revised and updated to reflect recent discoveries. With its accurate illustrations and helpful encounter lists, Thystram's Collectanea will prove a valuable resource to any who would travel the lands of Talislanta.
