Hi there everyone!
Once again, we'll be taking a moment to remind everyone how you can access your pledge. Since surveys for this campaign (and new name orders) will be closing Thursday, January 15th, it is imperative that you complete this process! Using the following link, enter the email address that's attached to your Kickstarter account and you should be able to pull your pledge right up! If you have not filled out your survey yet, we urge you to take a look at our previous update here:https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wraithmarked/bookofremembrance/posts/4502538
This update has a lot of FAQs we've gotten since opening surveys to backers, so please take a moment to check it out! If, for whatever reason you do not want to click that link, please be aware of the following:
What is a survey?
A survey is a form sent via email to all backers for the purpose of collecting necessary information in order for that pledge to be fulfilled. Sometimes it's just an address - we need to know where to send your goodies! In other instances, such as THE BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE, it is much more than an address.
Due to the nature of this campaign, we need folks to input names (if applicable), and we need those names sooner than later because the names—YOUR names—are the backbone of this book. We need to collect surveys and names BY 11:59PM EST ON THURSDAY, JANUARY 15TH AT THE ABSOLUTE LATEST.
TL;DR, Missing the name submission deadline (11:59PM EST ON THURSDAY, JANUARY 15TH) may result in your name NOT being included. We will post several check-in updates to remind folks, but we cannot complete your survey for you!
If you have questions at any point in this process, check out the campaign FAQs and if you need additional help, please send an email to [email protected]. Even though it is rare, it may take us up to 3-5 business days to respond and we do not work on holidays or weekends. Please also be aware that as we enter into the holiday season, many of us will be out of the office. We will address tickets in the order they were received, so please have some extra patience with us during this time! Thank you! <3

A Special THANK YOU! And... Campaign Check In!

Hi there folks!
Firstly, apologies for the copy/paste nature to this part of the update as we have lots of campaigns to touch on! We just wanted to update everyone and say...
THANK YOU FOR COMING BY OUR BOOTH AND SAYING HELLO. <3
Dragonsteel Nexus was a wonderful experience for all of us - this was our first time vending at this convention and we had no idea what to expect. I think I speak for the whole Wraithmarked crew when I say we were all blown away by the support and love y'all shared with us. We had so many of you come by, tell us where you heard of us from, what campaigns you backed, what you were looking forward to, and lots of folks who had no idea we were gonna be there! We saw some new faces (hello if you late pledged to this campaign!) and chatted with any and everyone. The whole trip was a blast!
Thank you again for making our first Dragonsteel Nexus the best convention we've ever been to!
The Wraithmarked booth! Still setting up, but lookin good!
Christopher meeting and greeting fans, and checking out Saphira!
Bryce signing 'Iron Prince' for a fan and me, dissociating.
Eira signing a copy of her book 'Run Like Hell' for a fan, me chatting (dissociating), and the true hero of the convention: the white sugar-free can in the bottom of the picture. The true savior of Dragonsteel!
Another shot of Christopher being awesome and chatting with fans. He was such a nice burst of energy and truly kind to everyone who came up - thanks for stopping by!
Now for a campaign check-in...
Today, we'll be taking a moment to remind everyone how you can access your pledge. Even though we're still a ways off from fulfillment, it's never a bad idea to hop in to make sure your shipping information is up-to-date!

ATTENTION: Backers with a Portrait Tier (Dragon Riders and Commander/Warlords ONLY) - Please Read!

– Wed, Dec 03, 2025 at 09:50:14 AM
Hey there folks!
Firstly, if you are not pledged to a Dragon Rider tier or a Commander/Warlord tier, this update is not directed at you. Only these two tiers come with a portrait, so please feel free to disregard this update. Thank you!
FINAL REMINDER FOR THE FEW OF YOU REMAINING!
The time has come... but this time, it will be the last! You're one of the 18 who pledged to a portrait tier for Wraithmarked's "The Book of Remembrance" campaign (either as a character portrait or character + dragon portrait)! We're reaching out to you ONE LAST TIME to check in and make sure our message is seen. Since you folks have additional information and files needed to fully fulfill your pledges, we require some extra correspondence.
Please email us at [email protected] with the subject line "[YOUR RANK] Portrait for The Book of Remembrance" and attach the image(s) you'd like the artist to reference. Please also include your name. For Dragon Riders ONLY, please also tell us your dominant hand, as well as if you'd like your name "Alagaësia-fied" by Christopher Paolini. WE MUST RECEIVE THESE IMAGES NO LATER THAN FRIDAY DEC. 5, 2025 at 11:59 PM EASTERN, OR WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET YOUR PORTRAITS INTO THE BOOK.
AN EXAMPLE: John Smith who backed at a Commander/Warlord tier would send us an email labeled "Commander/Warlord Portrait for The Book of Remembrance" and include their name in the body of the email. Jane Doe who backed at a Dragon Rider tier would send us an email labeled "Dragon Rider Portrait for The Book of Remembrance" and include their name in the body of the email, their dominant hand, and if they'd like their name edited by Christopher or not.
AGAIN: WE MUST RECEIVE THESE IMAGES NO LATER THAN FRIDAY DEC. 5, 2025 at 11:59 PM EASTERN, OR WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET YOUR PORTRAITS INTO THE BOOK. THAT'S THIS FRIDAY, FOLKS!
Coming in 2026: A Special Edition Box Set of Books 1-4 of The Inheritance Cycle! Full-color printing! Fully-customized covers *and* interior! Up to 40+ new illustrations!
4 months ago
– Fri, Nov 14, 2025 at 08:39:03 AM
Hey everyone! Bryce here, and we’ve got STUFF to talk about.
Like all Wraithmarked special editions, these books will be Smyth-sewn and printed on acid-free paper with gilded page edges, but we’re doing something extra special, too… We are printing the books in full color*,* including 5 full-color illustrations inside each book (and that's just the interior illustrations).
We’ve got some pretty insane artists working on this. The main image to this post is the dust jacket of ERAGON, done by none other than the one-and-only Dominik Mayer! Dominik is also doing some incredible custom end sheets (with a twist) for the books, and the amazing Axel Sauerwald (of Magic: the Gathering fame) is handling the interior illustrations and case covers! Finally, Joshua Raphael’s *Divebound Studio (*the team responsible for that awesome illustration of Saphira we had done for the collectable statue campaign we did last year) will be taking on the challenge of the custom tip-in illustrations we'll hopefully be adding in via Stretch Goals.
THE SPECS
So doubling as a TLDR, here are some specs for you for this Book 1-4 box set:
Smyth-sewn
acid-free paper
gilded page edges
custom 4-book slip case
4 custom full-color jacket covers by Dominik Mayer
Jacket front will feature foiling and embossing, and possibly additional gloss elements depending on final design!
Jackets back will have the full-wrap art, making it reversible if you want to display just the illustrations (this will be useful for reasons those of you who watch the whole video I've linked above will understand 😉)
4 custom full-color case covers for the naked hardcovers by Axel Sauerwald
3+ custom greyscale end sheets accented with gold foil by Dominik Mayer
3 more to be unlocked via Stretch Goals
full-color printing (not just the art, though additional color will mostly be on the chapter headers)
for those curious paper stock will be a healthy 90gsm if we unlock all Stretch Goals (these will be early, so we hope to!)
20 full-color illustrations by Axel Sauerwald
4 single-page per book
1 double-page per book
1 full-color map with custom foil gilding per book
we are going to be reusing the Book of Remembrance map here, but there will be a fun special element to each book's map (hint: gold foiling) that will make them unique and special.
3 new custom dragon illustrations by Divebound for the tip-ins if we unlock the Stretch Goal
the tip-ins will initially only feature the Saphira illustration we did as a bonus for the Saphira collectable figurine, but each book will have a different dragon if we unlock the Stretch Goals!
STEADY REVEALS OVER THE COMING MONTHS
We’re going to be sharing as much of the 40+ pieces of art we can over the next several months while we prep for the Kickstarter for this project, so please sign up for a launch reminder to follow along. These books have taken a huge amount of time and resources for Wraithmarked, and we couldn’t be more proud of how they’re turning out, so supporting the campaign will be incredibly helpful when the time comes.
PRICING AND A HEADS UP!
Oh, and speaking of, repeating it all here: While you can sign up for a launch reminder today, please know that this campaign will not launch until the Saphira collectible statues are all out the door and on the way to those of you who backed. So we’re talking months from now. We know it’s a little weird to be announcing a project like this so early, but there are two reasons:
First, this box set is going to be expensive at between $300 and $350 +s/h. We know that is a lot, but we regrettably don’t have the option to charge less, which is why we are stuffing this books with full color art and other goodies. Because of that, we wanted to give those who wanted it as much time as possible to save up for the campaign, IF they want to. To additionally help with this, we are:
Going to make sure Kickstarter's "Pledge Over Time" feature is enabled (allows you to split the cost of your pledge across 3 months)
Going to try to keep shipping as low as possible despite the 4 books, and will be charging shipping 2+ months after the campaign ends as another way to help split the bill. Shipping will be transparent and locked in during the campaign, too, so you will know exactly what it is you'll be charged.
Second, like I just mentioned, because of the price point of the product, Wraithmarked has doubled down on the production of these books, meaning we really need your help to make this a success. The longer a runway we can get before launching this, the more likely we manage to pull that off.
THANK YOU EVERYONE!
That’s it for now, I hope you like the first look at this special edition box set of THE INHERITANCE. Stay tuned for a new reveal every week from now until launch, and I'll see you all in the comments to answer any questions you might have!
PS: We know that $300+ USD is beyond the means of some people, and we completely understand that, so two things.First*, this comes with the request from both Wraithmarked and Christopher to please back responsibly! We love your support, but we would rather have one less sale and you not put yourself at risk for a product of ours!* Second*, if you'd like an incredible set of the books at a bit lower price, our friends over at The Broken Binding have* a wonderful setwith custom covers and end sheets by the amazing Jeff Brown still available for purchase for about $165+s/h at current USD conversion rates!
