Summary: Excellent supplement for Forgotten Realms DM's
Comment: If you play in the Realms and want to flesh out your villians, this book is wonderful. It's the same size and layout as Magic of Faerun, so that right there is a plus. Personally, i think the artwork is much better than Magic of Faerun, and some of the power groups detailed therein are quite intriguing. From the Daemonfey to the old Red Wizards, the book covers dozens and dozens of personalities, locales, and enemies to throw against your party.
If you don't play in the Realms, the book is not as useful, but it is still GRADE A gaming material that could have pieces used in other campaigns. It seems like WOTC is pumping all their best talent and money into the FR series, which is fine by me, but it means that some other lines end up lacking (like the class supplement books).
Yes, the book is very pricey, but for a DM who wants a whole slew of villians, monsters and plots, it's worth the money.

Summary: Good for those who haven't read FR novels extensively
Comment: My introduction to the Forgotten Realms began last autumn when I joined a D&D group for the first time. Since then, I've read several of the novels, but there are SO many of them, and it's quite hard to find some of the ones that have gone out of print. So I feel like I'm constantly lacking in background info.
In a way, this is probably better for me in regards to playing more realistic characters, who wouldn't know every little detail about Faerûn, but I'd still like to know some of the big stuff, as a player and as a fantasy geek.
Although probably not the most extensive and quality publication that could be provided, I felt that this gave me a good rough idea of some of the major and minor groups out there, as well as just enough history so I can understand what was going on. I disagree with the reviewer who felt there aren't enough illustrations. Very few pages are without something, and the complex maps for the major groups I found inspiring to base my own map-making upon.
I'd recommend this book, perhaps not for those who are well-versed in FR lore, but for those who need to get a grasp on some of the concepts of the baddies out there.

Summary: All our favorite bad guys!
Comment: Truth be told, you probably have enough information in the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting to pass through or conduct simple quests with regard to most of the evil groups of Faerun. All of the organizations in this book are mentioned, with varying detail, in the campaign. They are also described in Forgotten Realms novels, so if you have read a great deal of those, you might not need this accessory.
If you want to get into real detail with the powers of darkness and haven't read that much fiction, then this is the book to have. Even if you have done your homework, there's quite a lot of original material in here. As an example, if you'd like to actually visit the City of Shade, Lord of Darkness contains a wealth of information about how you would describe it. The campaign provides more simple demographics and locations than in-depth detail, so this is most welcome. There are also new encounters, weapons, and spells for the organizations, as well as some pre-made dungeons to explore. Specific points of interest in lands held by the enemy are also noted, as well as details on particular leaders of each order.
In all, every major evil organization is covered, as well as a host of lesser ones. Lords of Darkness has enough info about how they operate and what they look like to give a DM totally unacquainted with the FR setting the capability to correctly portray enemies and guide adventurers through enemy territory.
