Now you have the clans worried about the old ways changing as the clans drift apart because of distance, contact, or boredom. So expanded the background of every city, added NPCs, magic items, monsters, sacred locations, greatly expanded the history and added conflict to the tribes to make them realistic. After converting the few parts of the original I kept, that left me with over 50 pages. So I decided to make it fit with the other gazetteers.įormatted the books to the standard Gazetteer layout that the majority of the other settings had. You had four clans based on the Cherokee, Chinook, Comanche, and Navajo living peacefully in a nation the size of Portugal for hundreds of years without outside contact or internal strife. The write up on the tribes was brief, the concept of the nation didn't make a lick of sense. Hard to pick a lock in a land without doors. The Atraughin inside the book were largely unplayable, and several classes like wizards and thieves were either missing or pointless. The author himself admitted they gave him an impossible timeline and there was no playtesting. The number of columns was reduced and the interior art was sporadic and massive. The font size was 14, the margin art was double that of every other book. I've always been a major Mystara fan from all the settings, but the one dud in the line was the last nation book, the Atruaghin Clans. Took another week for the water to drain off, so I had nothing left to do but write.
