 |
Sehr guter Background-Band zu Schattental und den anderen Talländern in den Forgotten Realms
Behold the newest¸ brightest¸ and perhaps best travel guide by the world-walking¸ all-seeing Volo! Fresh from recounting the splendors of Cormyr¸ the Forest Kingdom¸ and circumnavigating all of Toril in a bold and wondrous adventure that none have equaled for its haste and humor¸ the tireless Volo has come at last to the beautiful Dales of the Dragonreach in the Heartlands of the Realms and set forth his florid account of things to see¸ things to do... and things to avoid. Many of the finest establishments and most striking sites and landmarks of the Dales are featured here¸ ranked with the handy coin¸ dagger¸ pipe¸ and tankard rating system. Volo has identified the best and the worst¸ so you need waste no precious time nor coins of your own to discovering just which attraction best suits your taste.
Discover:
* Where to find caverns whose walls sparkle with gems.
* The way into the tombs of the Twelve Dancing Wizards -- and why they dance.
* The curse that lies on several barrow tombs and why it was laid.
* Where one might find the Talking Bone and what it does.
* Why it is best not to move any of the Chessmen of Valsprendar.
* Where to find a door that opens into a room halfway across Faerûn -- and why it should be used only with extreme caution.
Special Note: This edition of Volos Guide to the Dalelands¸ intended for travelers from beyond the borders of Faerûn¸ contains notes¸ commentary¸ and substantial revisions by the famous sage and archmage Elminster of Shadowdale.
