• Six new player character races with full statistical information, detailed cultural and role-playing notes, and innovative concepts. Not just 'humans in strange costumes' -- unique creatures to stimulate your imagination!

• Detailed, unique world background, with dozens of fascinating nations and cultures, both human and inhuman -- from the paladin-realm of Aesios to the nightmare despotism of the Black Summoners, from the mysterious and perilous realms of the elves to the harsh honor-bound society of the insectoid Quaishi, and many more.

• A rich, distinctive mood and flavor to enhance your role-playing experience. Medieval fantasy at its best!

• Truly strange and deadly villains provide ample challenges for heroes to overcome.

• Dozens of new spells and feats, many of them OGL.

• 14 perilous new monsters to challenge your heroes -- with full statistics expertly crafted to the highest standards, detailed ecological notes to inspire mini-adventure possibilities focusing on these creatures, and illustrations of most new monsters. From the tiny but deadly Brem, which is used as a living weapon by the nobles of Vervenao, to the ponderous constructs known as battle-spores, to the alien Aesilians who use their own bodies to create a living fortress, many new and unusual beasts await.

• Two new 20-level character classes -- the Black Summoner of Insarc and the Solar Peer of Aesios -- and four 10-level prestige classes -- Knight of Boreas, Blood Guard, Mercenary of the Checkered Host, and Knight of the Alabaster Eagle. These classes are imaginative, well-balanced, and enhance the game experience by meshing with the cultures and nations of the game world (although they are easily adapted to any campaign).

• High quality -- the book has been professionally proofread and is free of the errors and omissions which plague many D20 products. Well-written prose with accurate game statistics provides a fine quality product for the modern gamer.
