From the Intro: “Zaltec looked upon the corpse of his murdered mother and saw a land ripe for the taking. Though mankind continued to revere his weakling brother Qotal, Zaltec knew this would soon change. Strewn about Maztica’s corpse, creatures began to populate the land; creatures of fang, beak and claw! Mankind would know fear, and in their fear they would turn to him. It wasn’t long before the fresh flow of hearts would begin!” -Tenoch II, Sixth Revered Counselor of Nexal from Translated Visions in the Codex Zalteca WELCOME TO THE TRUE WORLD!!! The Monsters of the True World: Maztica and Lopango netbook is an attempt to revive a beloved Dungeons and Dragons setting from the early 1990s. This setting, known as Maztica, was a new continent set in the western portion of the Forgotten Realms world of Toril, far beyond the beautiful Moonshae Isles and even the fabled elven land of Evermeet. After recently rereading the novels Ironhelm, Viperhand and The Feathered Dragon (all by Douglas Niles), I realized just how much more could be done for this amazing setting.
