Not larger map internally or fold out. That's okay to a point. Iron Kingdoms and Eberron didn't have one either.As John Cooper noted, there are some editing issues in game mechanics and the writing.Art is fair in some places, good in others. Needs to be more of it though. I don't recall a single piece illustrating the new race in the book.Layout is sound if a little simple.Organization is a bit off. Finding out that the setting uses a silver standard in the back for example, takes a little getting used to as that sp thing is mentioned all over the place earlier. I didn't know if it was talking about a silver standard or if it was going the route of Dragonlance and using steel pieces or something else.Renaming the classic races seemed okay. I'm never fond of renaming the classic races just for an 'exotic' flavor. The dwarves were renamed something and almost always refered to as dwarves throughout the book anyway so they might've just as well stayed dwarves.Material on clerics, druids, and paladins, all bring new life to those classes. A good thing as they are often in danger of becoming pigeonholed into certain aspects. Wizards and sorcerers though, it appears have done nothing in the campaign setting.Just some random observations. More clarity when certain parts reread.</blockquote>
