Hi Marc
Before the sun exploded, it was a basic medieval world. Though magic was more accessible to the masses and used in many of the day to day tasks. Given time the world would have exploded into an Industrial Age using magic and technology, but the explosion put an end to that. Magic assistance is still a day to day occurrence, but now that sun shards have been discovered, early steam-punk technology is only now starting to change the world.

There are no real animosity towards the dwarves (though you gave me an idea for a small group in the gazetteer). The Nature Wardens managed to help the refugees with their camps. Though one of the dwarven cities is a but intolerant of other races.

I always love reading about new settings!

One thing I was wondering about was the level of technology before the explosion.
Are the people finding ancient super-tech or are they just getting back to approximately where they were before the explosion (which sounds like it is steampunk level)?

Also does the game play on any residual anti-dwarf sentiment, due to them closing their doors so long ago?

Thanks, Chris. I felt the review came out pretty well, but I also really enjoy reading the book. So that really helps when doing the review.

I would also like to add that I have somebody having a look at the book again and going through the text for me. I had it proofed and I went through it so many time, bit still some stuff slipped through. I will send out an updated pdf in a few weeks.
