Lord Vhalantru, of course!  Isn't it odd how he never loses?  3) A masquerade ball depicting the war between Sundabar and the demons.4) MUCH more detail about Nidrama, Sundabar, and Nabatharon (sp?).  5) More info about Celeste.  She may help the PCs in Lords of Oblivion now.6) A chance to meet Vhalantru and other nobles at the Cusp of the Sunrise.7) The Blue Duke takes center stage.  The leader of the half-orc mercenaries comes into much greater focus in the hardcover.8) Additional Ebon Triad members. Their relationships with the Cagewrights clarified.9) Thirifane also takes a more active role...  And she also gets a lovely beholder graft... ugh.  Was that in the magazine?  I don't remember...10) Much more art.  Virtually every NPC has a detailed face picture.11) Web expansions are in.  Tilt-a-pits and Stormblades...12) Explanation as to why the players run into so many dragons in Zenith Trajectory (the red and the black have been fighting over territory).13) Now with more tax penalties to emphasize that the players should stick it to the man.14) A map of Cauldron post campaign.  I love it.15) Character creation help.16) "Traits" for the Cauldron region including the possibility of one of the PCs being Shackleborn (though I can't see how this could possibly turn out well).</blockquote>
