Chronicles of the Creator Over two thousand years ago, the goddess Syalonis was betrayed by the evil machine god Morgatan. During the confrontation the goddess was ambushed and her consciousness was shattered into a thousand pieces to be scattered through her galactic body. Now, the last vestige of her awareness hides on the isolated world of Dragonsbreath as she tries vainly to recover. Unable to intervene, Morgatan lays siege to her galaxy and her corrupt angels strike from the Realm of Death, harvesting the souls of the innocent. Syalonis has one final hope; the gladiator Tan, child of three realms. Soulhunters Tan does not know that he is the only soul who can reunite the scattered consciousness of Syalonis. He doesn't even believe in her. He was raised in the stone giant settlement as one of a thousand slaves and has risen to the position of supreme gladiator of the clan. Tan only plans to free his people from the brutal tyranny of his giant masters; the approaching force of corrupted angels have different plans.

The official illustrated companion book to the winner of five Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actor (Russell Crowe), Costume Design, Sound, and Visual Effects. Director Ridley Scott (Blade Runner, Thelma and Louise, Alien) brings the glorious battles of the ancient Roman arena back to the big screen. Set against the splendor and barbarity of the Roman Empire in AD 180, Gladiator tells an epic story of courage and revenge: The great Roman general Maximus (Russell Crowe) has been forced into exile and slavery by the jealous heir to the throne, Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix). Trained as a gladiator, Maximus returns to Rome, intent on avenging the murder of his family by Commodus, now emperor. The one power stronger than that of the emperor is the will of the people, and Maximus knows he can attain his revenge only by becoming the greatest hero in all the Empire. Russell Crowe heads up an international cast that includes Joaquin Phoenix, Connie Nielson, Oliver Reed, Derek Jacobi, Djimon Hounsou, and Richard Harris. Directed by Ridley Scott from a script by David Franzoni and John Logan, Gladiator is produced by Franzoni, Douglas Wick, and Branko Lustig, with Walter F. Parkes serving as executive producer. This is the official full-color companion book, featuring excerpts from the screenplay, historical sidebars and illustrations, details on period costumes and epic set designs, behind-the-scenes photographs from the location filming, and interviews with the screenwriters, actors, and director.

The purpose of writing this book is to encapsulate the journey of PSL from long before it began to where it is now. By no means I am an expert on the league nor do I have any inside knowledge about things, but the only reason I have written it is because as a fan, it is just unbelievable to look at how this league has become so important to Pakistan. But more importantly to Pakistanis who have wholeheartedly owned it and can proudly call Pakistan Super League, a league of their own. I have tried my best to cover all the important and non-important moments that have taken place since the first day when the idea of this league first originated. This book is up to date as of 22nd of June, 2021. But the aim is to keep adding to the book with each passing season of the Pakistan Super League. The plan is therefore to add new chapters in years to come and write down about all the significant and insignificant events of this amazing league which has become so critical to Pakistan, its people and the image of the country around the world. While I hope that the coming years bring so much more happiness and positivity. I am sure about one thing; that with all the ups and downs, the hurdles, and the typical Pakistani unpredictability, the next editions of the league will be as interesting as the previous ones, if not more, and there will be so much to write and so much to cover, something that I am extremely excited and looking forward to doing.

The volume can be read by individuals or in classroom settings, especially as a recommended text for students studying the ancient world in film.
