It details the history and politics of the Wilderlands, with a little bit about the ancient events of the Uttermost War, Markrabs, Kelnore, teh Dragon Kings, the War of the Pious and Philosophers all from a player's perspective. Then it picks up with more detailed history starting with the founding of Viridistan and running until the current date of 4433 BCCC. Here is a sample:There is about 8 pages of history with this level of detail.The chapter then details Judges History, with more info for Judges Only (the only Judges Only content in the book), which divides the history into 5 periods and provides details for use of Knowledge skill checks and Bardic Knowledge regarding the various time periods. The Judge's History section is in the form of a timeline where the player's info is in text. The Judge's History also has a note on the Pre-history of the setting (aka Markrabs, etc).CharactersBy far the biggest chapter. It details all the races--the human sub-species (Alryan, Antillian, Common Avalonian, Common Orichalan, Common Viridian, Dunael, Ghinoran, Gishmesh, Karakhan, Skandik, Tharbrian), the new races Altanian, Amazon, Avalonian; it also details the various other races, including many sub-types of elves, dwarves, gnomes, halflings and a cool type of half elf called the half-mer-elf. The optional XP table is provided here. The chapter then details the various classes and provides four new classes--the Alchemist, Amazon Warrior, Sage and Witch. It explains how the prestige classes in the DMG are found in the Wilderlands including a modified version of the Red Wizards called Chromatic Wizards that are the specialist mages of Tula. It details new amazon armor. It also details tomes of knowledge--ancient books of learning with special abilities. The chapter then details special skills and modificiations to skills, such as the new Craft (poisonmaking) skill that is unique to the Alchemist, special notes on all the Knowledge skills and rules for regional familiarity, the Sail skill and the Speak Language and Read Language skills. The chapter also details a bunch of new feats unique to the setting. The chapter then details the many languages and alphabets of the Wilderlands, including many dead languages such as Logii, the strange mathematical language of the ancient Philosophers as well as True Viridian, Ancient Draconic, Kelnoran, the Elder Tongue and Markrab.
