Just a short note, as I am still reading and absorbing this amazing setting book. Well written, full of neat concepts that I am going to extract for use in my own campaign, filled with interesting NPCs, several new races and many, many monsters, all themed arounds a region of Wolfgang Baur's Zobeck setting which is dominated by intelligent undead.
Appearance: 4/5 the book looks great and I like how stat blocks are presented (doesn't look like the ink jet threw up on the page, and has its own theme without being a copy of the WotC format). The art is great, though some is copyright-free stuff that has been seen elsewhere, a lot.
Usefulness: 5/5 although I will definitely cannibalize for my own setting, the truth is I am pretty tempted to use this book as-is; Morgau and Doresh are well-developed and very strange regions that I think I'd like to see in play. Especially useful if you're a fan of undead and necromancers in D&D.
OVERALL: 5/5 best value I've gotten for a while in 4E PDF products; the price tag matches the size and value of the content, I feel.
