Back Cover Synopsis:
This is the first in a series - a completely new concept in gaming aid for the
DUNGEONS & DRAGONS game system. Within these covers is a complete
historical, economical, geographical, and sociological overview of the Grand
Duchy of Karameikos. Entries on (and maps of) the major cities and towns, as
well as biographical entries on the important figures in the Duchy, will aid
the DM in preparing his own adventures as well as enrich the playing of
published adventures.
In addition, there is a full-size, four-color map showing not only karameikos
itself, but also the capital city of Specularum, the city of Kelvin, and the
town of Threshold. This map will be fully compatible with those to follow in
the series, so the DMS and players can put them side by side for comparison
and/or play.
Beginning with the Grand Duchy of Karameikos, this series provides a rich
tapestry of background material for player and DM alike, sure to benefit the
gamer immeasurably.
