The Quick Reference Card was a short pamphlet included in the original Asheron's Call game box along with the Asheron's Call Manual. The front features the cover art found on the game box and manual. The inside folds out into a three page spread containing lots of helpful information. The reverse side has a two page, hand rendered map of the main settled area of Osteth, labeled as being from the hand of Alatar Locke. This map has illustrations of many points of interest, and labels all of the main Osteth towns except for Tou-Tou.
