It is a 128 page paperback sourcebook that details the Lord City of Vinnengael in the period just before the city is destroyed. Why this time period? It's the setting for the first Sovereign Stone novel, Well of Darkness, by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman. First, the maps for this city are incredible. Ex-TSR cartographer Diesel is listed as the mapper, and he's fabulous. Each region of the city is detailed with maps, buildings of interest and people of interest, complete with d20 stats for all the NPCs. Some may find the book less appealing because it's set 200 years prior to the current timeline, but Sovereign Press has thought of everything here. They provide a good, solid adventure in the back that allows you to time travel forward with your adventuring group to meet up with the current timeline. Upon arriving in the new space/time, you'll have to do some fast talking, as the jump forward isn't the end of the adventure. Well done Sovereign Press!The art is good to excellent, the maps (as I said) are fabulous, and the material is solid and useful. This is a city to adventure in. You could quite easily set a party here for a year's worth of gaming, and have no problems sustaining the level of detail.Superb!</blockquote>
