I agree that the Tyr section was well done, although I'm a bit surprised that it was made the sort of assumed default start - I had gone into this thinking Altaruk would be the presumed starting town, as it's a perfect fit.  What kind of confused me, though, was that there was no real info on just how RECENTLY Kalak died, and how the death occured.  Seems a weird thing to leave out, but then, there's a lot of info in this book, and some of it was bound to get buried. I actually like the smaller space for the other city-states, but then, I prefer smaller writeups because they give me more room for my own stuff.  What I really like is how they broke the regions down into smaller chunks - it used to be, "The Tablelands" were one write-up... now they're broken into much more manageable sections, like "The Ivory Triangle" or "The Road of Kings" which really are more evocative.I also really like those ten adventure ideas for Dark Sun (or whatever the number is).  It's a great little list to get GMs creating their own adventures, and it's something I wished there was in 2e, where I would sometimes run out of ideas (of course, in 2e Dark Sun, I was under the misconception that Dungeon Adventures were a BAD IDEA - silly boy that I was).  Personally, my big wish right now is that the merchant dynasties were given their own little page or two, as opposed to being buried within individual city entries.  I consider the dynasties to be similar to Eberron's Dragonmarked Houses, and so should get a bit of specific attention.  Still, I'm not that upset over it - they were mentioned in a good way, and have a lot of possible adventure ideas.</blockquote>
