I wasn't answering to you, I was making comment about the contents of the book. The bastions makes me not want to pick it alone, since I hate this feature so much.

One of next games I want to propose to my group after Blades in the Dark is going to use Five Bannera Burning framework, modified to work in Mystara, using plotlines from Wrathnof the Immortals and ts many, many fixes.
I tend to run published modules because they're less work, and do not think there is a point defining what a setting is or isn't for.
