I see King of Sartar as being nothing but little details. If it's a painting is one of those Flemish pictures with strange goings on in every corner, Bruegel more than Bosch. Try and focus on the whole and it becomes incoherent, but everywhere there's something going on, in each scene a story.
You don't base a campaign on the whole thing, but you find little moments to insert into your game. Little scenes to enliven the thing, forshadowing the bigger events and so on.

The whole thing presents a compelling picture, but if you try to zoom in to pick out details you find that much is implied, but little is shown in detail. To get a feel for the hero wars there may be no better source. To get solid material with which to stock a campaign....there area lot of better sources.
