Dungeon 170 - Explore Fairhaven

[Shroomy]

I believe this the first feature article in Dungeon that isn't an adventure. This eight page article, apparently the first in the series exploring the Aundairian capital of Fairhaven (at least that's what I read over on the WotC community boards), focuses primarily on notable NPCs and factions within the city, each accompanied by an adventure hook. Most of the content (which is almost completely system neutral, its certainly stat free, btw) isn't anything new to anyone who owned the 3.5e Five Nations supplement, but its still an interesting read and provides a good overview of the movers and shakers with the city.

Can't comment much on the article itself, as I've only glanced at it. However, it is interesting to note that as far as I'm aware*, this is the first "series" which originated in Dragon and has jumped to Dungeon, though they've mentioned others which will such as Create Incarnations and Bestiary.

"Explore *" isn't really a series per se, not like Bazaar of the Bizarre for example, but this isn't the first. Dragon 377 had Explore Airspur, which was a look at a city in the Forgotten Realms much like this article is a look at a city in Eberron.

*I catalog every article posted on DDI on this tiddlywiki, but I also have a terrible memory...
