(from the back of the book) The Shadowlands: Sometimes whispered anxiously, sometimes angrily shouted, the name details the regions where the struggle against the heirs of the Demonmaster continues. But these heirs are divided, envied by their peers and their domination threatened by the warriors of light. The faithful of twelve gods stretch into the former Tobrien, into Warunk and Beilunk reaching the heart of darkness, and it seems only a matter of time, until the worshippers of the demons fall, the people are liberated and heroes acquire eternal glory by the defeat of the Heptarchs. On Maraskan, the Shîkanydad is countinuing ist merciless fight against Borbarad's heirs, with the interesting culture of Maraskan being a strong weapon. The horrors of the island Maraskan are varied and almost incomprehensible: ancient mysteries hidden deep in the jungle, protected by deadly flora and fauna, and stubbornly defended by the henchmen of the black rulers. The Shadowlands presents the regions in the east Aventurien that are still under the control of Borbarad's heirs or fought for by many warlords: Transysilien, the Warunkei and the Dukedom of Maraskan and Tobimorien. In addition, you will also find material on those bastions that stand against the dark princes: the sunland of Beilunk, teh vanguard at Warunk held by the church of Rondra and the Shîkanydad of Maraskan.
