Product Blurb "He who has the gold makes the rules." --An old Darokinian saying. In Darokin, wealth is power. There is no place in this land for the unthinking brute who solves every problem with force. Darokin has survived by cleverness, by negotiation, and by guile, despite being surrounded by mighty barbarous nations. In fact, the Darokinians have thrived over the years, establishing themselves as the undisputed masters of overland commerce. And since dead neighbors make poor trading partners, they've become equally adept at diplomacy. This text is quoted from promotion material.

Plot SummaryEdit

The fictional Republic of Darokin specializes in land-based guilds, and the accessory covers life, society, and politics in their lands. The gazetteer describes a plutocratic republic ruled by a council of merchants. The 32-page "Player's Guide" gives a brief overview of the land, with rules for Darokinian player characters and a Merchant character class, and includes guidelines for trading and a map of the Known World's main trade routes, imports, and exports. The 64-page "Dungeon Master's Guide" contains background material on Darokin's history, climate, geography, economy, society, and places of interest. The gazetteer also includes rules for adaptation to AD&D, a map of the city of Darokin, a large color map, and cardstock miniatures of merchants' wagons.
