Atlas of the Young Kingdoms Vol 1: The Northern Continent discusses the Sighing Desert, the Weeping Waste, heavenly Tanelorn, horrible Nadsokor (the kingdom of beggars), the ancient evil of Org and the Forest of Troos, free-trading and progressive Ilmiora, and the Lawful hell of dying Vilmir. Here in you may learn the origin of the Young Kingdoms and the great rebellion of Vil Valario, the ways of the people, histories, products, and attitudes, customs and holidays, provinces and towns, and important leaders. There are plot ideas and story seeds a plenty, scores of illustrations, full-page national and regional maps, city plans, a Lormyrian and a Melnibonean calendar, and a index. Lovingly and ingeniously written, a triumph of sustained creation.
