IlKhan's Eyes Only is the fourth and final in a series of ilClan era sourcebooks, which highlight the state of the Inner Sphere from January 3151 to June 3152, following the events of Hour of the Wolf and ilClan. The sourcebook was published in PDF and print on 15 January 2025. It allows players to use the Chaos Campaign rules to playout a tabletop campaign of these events.
The title is a combination of in-universe intelligence report/recap of the Star League/Clans campaign to stabilize the control of Terra and to create a safety buffer around the capital world.
From the Back Cover[edit]
| “ | LEAGUE OF UNCERTAINTY
"How long do you think you can hold your little Star League together when everyone already wants you deposed?" The final words of the late Devlin Stone haunt Alaric Ward, ilKhan of the Clans and First Lord of the Star League. Alaric has made Nicholas Kerensky's impossible dream a reality and achieved the purpose of his people. The future, once so clearly defined, is murkier than ever. Driven by overwhelming purpose for his entire life, for the first time Alaric wonders: what now? Meanwhile, denied the opportunity to destroy the hated Republic of the Sphere and exorcise Stone, his personal demon, Chancellor Daoshen Liao faces the same question. Unable to breach the Wall around Terra, Daoshen must redirect the ambitions of his people while preparing for a new enemy rebuilding from the ruins of the old. IlKhan's Eyes Only is a BattleTech sourcebook detailing the events on Terra, around the former Fortress Republic, and the coreward regions of the Capellan Confederation from 3151 to mid-3152. Included are a full historical summary of events in those regions of space, personality and unit profiles of key players--many appearing here for the first time - and game information along with a glossy campaign map to bring it all to your BattleTech tabletop. |
