[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 5372087, member: 2012"] I'm trying to decide which of these 11 gazetteers to buy for use with my homebrew. GAZ2 The Emirates of Ylaruam GAZ4 The Kingdom of Ierendi GAZ5 The Elves of Alfheim GAZ6 The Dwarves of Rockhome GAZ7 The Northern Reaches GAZ8 The Five Shires GAZ9 The Minrothad Guilds GAZ10 The Orcs of Thar GAZ11 The Republic of Darokin GAZ12 The Golden Khan of Ethengar [s]GAZ14 The Atruaghin Clans[/s] I want to pull the best material from Mystara for Kulan. I already have the Glantri gazetteer, Dawn of the Emperors, and Champions of Mystara. I also have the 2e Mystara boxed set for Karameikos and will likely get GAZ1 as well. I'm leaning towards getting GAZ4 and GAZ9 because of the seafarering aspects. But I'm not sure what to expect from the GAZ references, fluff-wise. The rules in the gazetteer books aren't important to me since Kulan is a v.3.5 world. Therefore, I want to pick the gazetteers that have the best fluff in them, which can be used in another setting. Kulan is big enough that I could find a place for almost anything but I only want the best communities, NPCs, and adventure sites. So, tell me why you voted for a particular the gazetteer. What makes it stand out against the rest? Cheers!
