Liriel, dcera arcimága Gromfa, je trnem v oku Prvnímu rodu Menzoberranzanu Baenre i ostatním. Je nepřehlédnutelná. Pořádá honosné večírky, ráda se toulá tunely, sjíždí podzemní řeky, přátelí se s dvouhlavým drakem – a má nebývalé nadání pro magii, která nemá nic společného s Pavoučí královnou Lloth. A když Liriel objeví krásy Povrchu, je snaha zkrotit ji v drowské Akademii podle všeho předem ztracenou věcí. Jenže Liriel netuší, že její naivita a nenávist spolužačky Shakti Hunzrin pro ni mohou být smrtící. Návnada v podobě amuletu, jenž je schopen zachovat drowskou magii i na Povrchu, je zároveň past, která může sklapnout každou chvíli…
Rašemen… tajemný domov barbara Fjodora, země, jíž vládnou wychlaran, které své nezvyklé schopnosti skrývají za propracovanými maskami. Shakti… drowí kněžka Lloth, která číhá ve stínech Temných říší a plane nesmiřitelnou nenávistí ke všem, kdo kráčejí po povrchu Torilu. Liriel Baenre… drowí princezna, která se nyní musí rozhodnout, jestli se s Fjodorem vrátí do jeho rodné země. Tam bude čelit největší zkoušce odvahy a na prchavý okamžik zahlédne to, co hledala po celý život - domov.
Temná elfka Liriel Baenre, která se rozhodla žít na povrchu, pokračuje ve své cestě na ostrov Seveřanů, Ruathym. Tam chce dokončit splétání runy, jež jí umožní pochopit magii povrchu a zároveň pomůže jejímu příteli, bojovníku Fjodorovi ovládnout bersekrovské šílenství, které ho stále více ovládá. Liriel proto osvobodí z podzemních kobek Přístavu Lebek pirátského kapitána Hrolfa a nalodí se na jeho koráb. Netuší však, že se řítí přímo doprostřed zničující války…
Ačkoli úderná jednotka Jediů splnila svou sebevražednou misi hluboko na území Yuuzhan Vongů, cena za úspěch byla bolestně vysoká. Jaina Solo se při odvážném pokusu zmocnila nepřátelské lodě a spolu s přeživšími Jedii se jí podařilo uniknout – zanechala však za sebou velký kus svého srdce. Jediové musejí hledat před nepřátelským pronásledováním útočiště v nechráněné Hapeské hvězdokupě, kde jsou pokládáni za viníky nedávné tragedie – a kde královská rodina spřádá temné plány týkající se jejího slavného jediského hosta. Ještě hrozivější jsou však úmysly Yuuzhan Vongů, kteří se zoufale snaží zajmout Jainu a obětovat ji svým bohům. Jaina, přemožená smutkem a posedlá myšlenkami na pomstu, je k těmto nebezpečím slepá – stejně jako k temnému zlu, které ji hrozí pohltit. V nadcházející bitvě tak nebude bojovat pro vítězství či pro pomstu, ale o svou vlastní budoucnost…
Greetings, kind travelers! The roads south to the Lands of Intrigue are long and dusty, yet they promise greatness and glory for merchants, adventurers, and scholars. Those brave enough to venture here will encounter unique forms of power, magic, and culture found nowhere else in Faerûn. This expansion, developed from out-of-print material, offers over 150 pages of new content.
The first section explores Tethyr, detailing its transformation from an elven homeland to a human nation, and its recent restoration from anarchy. Once plagued by the malevolent Empire of Shoon, Tethyr now stands as the safest realm in the Lands of Intrigue, though remnants of its dark past linger in the form of monsters and wandering spirits.
The second section focuses on Amn, known as Coinland, where wealth is the lifeblood, sourced from trade along the Sword Coast and distant colonies. However, a shadow looms over those fixated on their riches.
The third section introduces Erlkazar, a previously undocumented domain ready for DMs to develop for their campaigns. It also unveils the hidden powers of the South, including the Cowled Wizards, Knights of the Shield, Shadow Thieves, and the undead sorcerers of the Twisted Rune.
Two poster maps illustrate the Lands of Intrigue, the Nelanther Pirate Isles, and the ruins of Shoonach, alongside over a dozen additional maps of Amn, Tethyr, and the Maztican colonies.
From their beginnings in the dawn of time to their hour of greatest need, this is the saga of Faerun's elves. When Evermeet, the elven homeland, comes under devastating attack, Queen Amlaruil's sacrifice holds the last hope of safety. Reprint.
