[QUOTE="Telperion, post: 1831766, member: 15711"] Lots of really big countries with fairly little fluff to them. Lots of really big areas with little fluff and lots of monsters in them. A really big forest with lots of different kinds of critters living in there (makes Hornsaw and the Virgin Woods look like a small patch of green next to it). Again not that interesting... A huge amount of people living 10000 miles away from a Ghelspad on a, supposedly, stagnating continent. Not really believable. It is supposed to be a continent that was fairly untouched by early and middle parts of the Divine War, but was struck fairly hard during the later period. The fluff isn't all that interesting and it doesn't contain anything that makes me want to read more about the continent. There are a few nice ideas and the elven high society is established here, along with a whole bunch of city living, conquering, evil dwarves. There are a bunch of human civilizations with an irresistable need to hit their heads against each others' foreheads and wait for Dooms Day. Compared to Ghelspad I found it bland and uninteresting. There's a really dangerous island to the South of the continent, but I won't touch that as a DM, if I don't want to destroy the whole continent or scar it even worse than it already is. O' yes, I almost forgot: Titans are still openly worshipped on this continent. Um...somewhere and there's also lot of people who worship ancestral spirits and stuff like that. The last is a nice touch, but doesn't save a mediocre book. Not the worst I have seen from the Scarred Lands gameline, but if you want to DM Scarred Lands then the safe bet is to stick with Ghelspad. That continent is quite large enough and it is a whole lot more interesting, IMO. [/QUOTE]
