Runes of Virtue manual
The Runes of Virtue manual is the manual for Runes of Virtue. It is 24 pages long.
Description[edit]
For being a standard booklet-style instruction manual, this manual is surprising since it contains many custom-made illustrations for NPCs, monsters and armour, which even are made mostly in the line-art style of the main games. The book is not written from an in-universe perspective, thus it mainly gives the information to the player without much flavor. It also includes the Runes of Virtue map of Britannia. Unusually, the descriptions of the various monsters are spread over all the pages.
Book Content[edit]
- Game Controls
- The Champions
- A Map of Britannia
- Friends and Foes
- Armour
- Weapons
- Items
- Magic Items
- Tips and Tricks
Other Editions[edit]
The edition that was released with the game in Japan is quite different from the international release. The book is more in a normal manual aspect ratio and prominently features the colors red and pink. While the illustrations of the western release are all present, there also are additional illustrations, which show weapons and items. Also, the monsters are collected in a more traditional bestiary.

Trivia[edit]
- For some reason, the cover art is mirrored on the Japanese cover. The reason for that is unknown.
