Hey gladiators!

As some of you may know, the Swords and Sandals series spans over five games and two spinoffs ( Crusader + Medieval ) - with at least two more titles either planned or in development. This, of course, can make for some interesting and confusing timelines and lore!

For those of you who are interested in a finding out a little more about the Swords and Sandals universe, I've started writing an official 'Tome of Lore' document. In this document, I've written more about each Arena Champion, what happened to them after the tournament, a little about the famous places and heroes of the world and so on.

Swords and Sandals: Official Tome of Lore

The Tome is a work in progress - currently I've only written of events up to and including S&S 2: Emperor's Reign. Let me know if you enjoy the Tome, or have any questions about the world and its characters in the comments below!
