The book starts on a serious High - the myth of Torog, which is simply brilliant (well done and exceedingly well written). But a lot of the stuff that follows (now that I've read a bit further into the book) isn't nearly as brilliant, and a lot strikes me as pretty average."Fewer" than what? There's 32 pages of encounters in the Dungeon Delve style (some complete delves, others 1-off encounters) in total in the book. Plane Below had 12. Any other book with delve pages by WotC have mostly a higher page count - e.g. the 2 Draconomicons. Seriously, the percentage of delve material in this book is rather high.The comparison to Malazan is unfortunately lost on me due to sheer ignorance (*blushes*---> please enlighten me), but I'd like to submit another point of comparison: Golarion's Rovagug.Rovagug is Paizo re-crafting two Greyhawk deities of old: Erythnul (the vicious god of savage beasts) and Zagyg (the imprisoned God). Like Rovagug, 4E's Torog is buried by the gods in a prison "deep below the earth". But 4E's Torog has more of Zagyg, in that he's not just imprisoned but also raving insane.
