Pseudo-Ka-Ess

Pseudo-Ka-Ess (or the Ka-Ess editor) is the name used by academics to refer to the anonymous scholar who edited and compiled the first edition of the Tales of Ka-Ess. At the time of Ka-Ess von Manlizard's unsettling demise, his works had not been catalogued or organized for publication. Historians are divided as to whether the Ka-Ess editor merely prepared these works for publication or if he made significant modifications to the poems and histories included in the Tales. The fragmented and varied nature of the works included suggests that they were not written as part of one larger work, but rather assembled from fragments and notes.
