This 150+ page sourcebook covers Furthest's history, politics, religion, governance, and clans, as well as providing plenty of wonderful art work to inspire adventures and encounters. The sourcebook is a well laid out walking tour of Furthest, celebrated as the glory of Lunar Provices.
Furthest is a huge city of diverse people, cultures, and faiths, but none more so than those inspired the Lunar Empire. It’s a melting pot divided into seven districts, from the massive and legendary Barbarian's Gate that faces Dragon Pass, to the magical Royal Palace atop the Acropolis inspired by the Dreaming City of the Red Emperor.
Each district lists several important locations and prominent NPCs, from the teeming markets of the Phargentine Way, to the Grand Theatre of the Eastern Quarter. The grandious Port of Furthest is filled with many sites to see, like the Temple of Oslira run by Bettira the Blue, a young woman with many stories to tell. Furthest is presented as a rich and dynamic gem that will leave you wanting to experience.
Fleshing out the this sourcebook is a good chunk of information on Lunar Tarsh, as well as several pages on the land beyond Tarsh for historical reference points. Clan and family information is here as well, which helps readers connect with the greater overall picture of the region.
This sourcebook also digs into the animals and beasts found in the region, including The Hydra of Dragon Pass, plus other creatures to keep your players on their guard. Several scenario seeds await to inspire you, as well as a multi-page adventure. The sourcebook contains a useful index and several full color maps (including one of the sewer system!) for player and gamemaster alike.
It's five stars from me for this inspired production!
