Campaigns start here
|
And so we come to the first of the 'mundane' settings books for the second edition of Exalted. This volume covers the near-central portion of Creation not directly ruled by the Scarlet Empire. While it has been covered briefly in the core book, Scavenger Lands provides enough information to enable groups to set whole campaigns there.
Certainly for a Solar group, the area is probably the easiest to play in, at least initially. So what's in the book? Well, the generaL history of the area is covered before the focus switches in more detail to specific cities. Whether you want to set a game in the military stronghold of Lookshy, the mercenary redoubts of the Guild, the last bastion of the Empire or best of all, a ravaged city ruled by the Deathlord Mask of Winters, you should get some nice ideas here.
Each city covers notable personages, important buildings, military forces and rules/customs. I might have wanted more notes on the areas between the cities, but this is a small gripe about a very useful supplement. Finally, a selection of gods and monsters of the area is presented.
If you plan on running a campaign here or just want more info on the world of Creation, you could do worse than to get this. Certainly with the other impending setting books, you should be able to build up an inexhaustable store of ideas.
