This is hands down one of my favorite Slarecian Vault product until now! It takes one minor element of the setting (the new Minotaur playable race introduced in the Yugman's Guide to Ghelspad) and builds upon it lore-wise, creating a very interesting location to visit in a campaign. It has lore, history, culture, some tension (and a nice Baba-Yaga-like villain), as well as a couple of spells and monsters to top it off (really like the spontaneous golem, but I have a soft spot for spontaneous golems), all of which being well-connected and helping bringing this city alive. Special mention to the cartography, which manages to capture the look and feel of Scarred Lands maps from the old Campaign Setting. Strongly recommend!
