I think it's a pretty fair bet that the new game will contain a decent amount of overview type material on Prax. I'm sure that whatever Hero Wars does, you'll find many reasons to dislike it, but in this specific instance I don't see what the problem is.

Not so. Give it up. This sort of comment would be a lot less annoying
if the author showed signs of addressing the points _I_ raised in
contradiction of those he feels I missed.

I just don't understand where this sort of comment lobs up from. How is starting off the line with 3/4 books about or applicable to the Sartar Orlanthi a 'spread out' 'mediocre amount of information'? Or have we changed topics again? Yes, this _was_ a problem with RQ3, in that for a lot of places we got a 'glimpse', portending much to come, which of course never did. Most conspicuously, this was so even for 'key' areas like Sartar and the Lunar Empire. This is _exactly_ what the new game is trying to rectify, if I divine the intent and the publication schedule correct.
