Sarlona: A land of secrecy and wonder March 26, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Secrets of Sarlona was a pretty good read. From the many different countries and cultures, to the cult-like infulences the Inspired have on the people on the gigantic country of Rierdra. Not only that, but for a book this size, it goes into some key details about each culture (like "a day in the life" thing), important NPCs, new Psionic powers,interesting feats that work with and against psionics, and new weapons.
My only dissapointments were the lack of info on ALL the Quori, instead only giving me three castes, and merely mentioning two others. and a lack of new monsters, overall; only a small number of them.
But I digress. Secrets of Sarlona was a good read, and an interesting adaptation to the Eberron world.
Now to get my hands on Secrets of Xen'Drik.

For anyone interested in psionics canon in Eberron, I'd highly recommend this book. There are a lot of NPCs and political information as well as some weapons and feats that may prove useful. It seems a little bit of a throw-back to forgotten realms style regional modules.
Downsides for me was that the material was very vague or limited, geographically, but fairly detailed politically. For example, they'll spend a tiny paragraph for a whole region that is leaking chaos into Eberron in Adar and has a lot of fantasy potential, then spend 5 pages talking about a political group that really, after reading it, isn't very interesting or have clear goals or themes.
For crunch, the PrCs and quori-related stuff seems a little tame...a lot more flavor than bang. Enough of the artwork is mediocre to remove it from the list of strengths.
I think I would have liked the book to be...bigger. There is a lot of material to cover and a lot of it gets short treatment or no treatment at all, but still a good book especially if you are interested in non-Khorvaire Eberron, as I am.

I think this is an excelent product. I like the ideas that the dreaming dark present as villians and this book expands on those ideas. Both in how they would be used, and how to use those who would oppose them. I also appricate the inclusion of new quori that can be used with empty vessels to make enlightened. Finally I am a huge fan of psionics and many rule books include very little additional material on psionics, so I am excited about the additional psionic content in Secrets of Sarlona.
 Limited Use March 27, 2007

It is a very good book if you are running a campaign in Eberron on, or at least heavily involving the continent of Sarlona. Other than that It has very little use.
A few new prestige classes, feats, and weapons are the most it offers.
