The Blood War: Part of Mordenkainen's Contents Page

Very interesting! Although I would rather have seen some of the table of contents concerning the Bestiary, this is quite intriguing as well!

Here's a small part of the table of contents from Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes as tweeted by Nathan Stewart.

I would have just loved to see the whole thing.

The blood war appears to be a fairly small chapter, about 30-32 perhaps.

I suspect the Elves chapter will be bigger.

I hope not!

Thats plenty, and elves better be less. But I am assuming that the monster stat blocks, including for Demons and Devils, are in another part of the book.

I was thinking the same thing. They are either hiding some stuff at (a) the end if Chapter 1, of (b) the start of Chapter 2. Given that it's common knowledge (especially from the Roll 20 preview) that Chapter 2 is about the elves, I'm guessing they are hiding some extra Blood War stuff there.

Otherwise, it's a strange decision to have so much blank space near the top of the page.

From the page numbers seen in the already released stat blocks of Moloch and the sibriex, we know they are much later in the book in a dedicated Bestiary chapter.

The Astral Dreadnought is on page 117: that leaves somewhere around 80 pages for four remaining chapters. Dollars to donuts that the Blood War is the longest chapter outside of the Bestiary.

Well I don't see the Halfling & Gnomes Chapter being much more than 12 pages.

Dwarves 20 pages lets say.

Gith 15 pages.

Elves because of the large subraces and multiple pantheons could be around 40 pages, I mean they have to cover Wood Elves, Avariel, Sea Elves, Drow, Shadar Kai, High Elves, Eldarin, and maybe wild elf subraces, each far different magically, biologically, and culturally from each other then most subraces of other races.

And you have the Dark Seldarine, Raven Queen, Seldarine, Eberron Elf religions maybe, and possibly the Yuirwood Pantheon for religions to cover.

And of course the wars between the subraces.

I mean yeah technically Tieflings will have more subraces then elves, but I don't think they are culturally distinct from each other and I don't know if they are biologically distinct, we do know they are magically distinct. I don't think there are say Fiernian Tiefling civilizations vs Levitusian Tiefling civilizations vs. Disian Tiefling Civilizations vs Glaysian Tiefling civilizations etc...
