Preface

Welcome to the original first drafts of the first volume of Lost Books of Quatria, a recovered work of ancient lore from the forgotten pre-historic civilization of the same name, based on the works of Edward Allen Oxford.

The first volume, “The Lost Direction, was originally published serially on Medium, and the texts linked below represent those versions.

A revised version was published by Lost Books, an indie blockchain publisher in Quebec, Canada and is available as a pocket size soft cover book, an ebook, and a limited edition NFT.
