From the foreword:
"With this adventure¸ I am turning a campaign played over the last eight months or so into a book that I hope many people play and enjoy. I tried to stay close to the spirit of the Forgotten Realms¸ but added my own ideas to this amazing setting. If I were asked what differentiates this adventure from others¸ I would probably highlight two main aspects: Firstly¸ it is written for small parties of adventurers (1-4 player characters)¸ and I tried to come up with mechanisms that emphasize partnering with non-player characters over combat challenges (while there are still quite a few battles to be fought). Secondly¸ when it comes to "monster" races¸ the adventure is in the spirit of more recent publications like Mordenkainen presents: Monsters of the Multiverse¸ emphasizing that these races too can have a variety of alignments and motivations."
