Netheril: The Empire of Magic
 |
The boxed set contains two books and two maps¸ with the two books totaling about 158 pages. Each map is printed on both sides. The first shows Netheril at its height on one side and its frontier on the other - the frontier is Savage North in the current setting. The second map shows Netheril shortly before its collapse¸ illustrating a stark change as much of its lands have turned to desert. The reverse of the second maps illustrates the Karsus enclave. The first book is 'The Winds of Netheril¸' which details the history of Netheril¸ offering campaign suggestion and parameters as well as a list of when spells where created. It also describes equipment available¸ the gods of the period and a list of important cities and locations in the Netheril Empire. Finally¸ it includes a detailed look at the Karsus enclave and a list and description of important people through the history of Netheril. The second book¸ the 'Encyclopedia Arcana¸' details magic items unique to Netheril and a list of Netheres spells¸ such as 'Karsus' Avatar': a spell that allowed a mage to become a god.
