From the back cover On the vast and rugged continent of Govon is G'thal, an ancient realm harboring a myriad of wary and volatile races, cultures and creatures. Known to adventurers as the Star Crown Empire, G'thal is composed of desert jungle, mountain and fertile plain. The Empire is home to haughty Elves, mean-spirited Dwarves, short-tempered Centaurs, suspicious Lizardmen of the swamps and thousands of Humans. The eight city-states of G'thal weave tenuous webs of intrigue and alliance, ever fearful of the warlike Trolls, Nomads and inhuman Hordes lurking on their troubled borders. Setting out from Borbinak, a trading town in the heart of the Empire, you can scour the Bola Wastes for gold and booty or head north to the mountains in search of treasure, trouble , and Trolls. As a change of pace, seaworthy adventurers can set sail for Lebyn, a fabled isle where immortality may be for sale.One thing is certain: death is cheaper! Welcome in G'thal!
