Summary: Changed my mind about Scarred Lands
Comment: Originally, I was going to incorporate some of the Scarred Lands materials (Hollowfaust, Relics and Rituals, many of the monsters from the Creature Collections) into my own campaign world. I bought this to help me flesh out some ideas about gods and religions and the history of my campaign world.
I'm a Scarred Lands convert now.
This is the best sourcebook I have _ever_ read about a pantheon. Much more than just the stats and a blurb (like most books), this contains tremendous amounts of coherent background material, excellent descriptions of the gods, titans, servitors and religions. And like much of the Sword and Sorcery works, it is very well thought and internally consistent.
This book was enough to get me to purchase the Ghelspad campaign setting (another story and another review, but also excellent), and was good enough for me to use lock, stock and barrel. What is nice about this work (like many other Sword and Sorcery work) is that it could be used outside of the Scarred Lands with minimal work - and that is a serious boon to the many busy GMs out there.

Summary: Nice book, great drawings, lots of information... but...
Comment: As I always say, why do we need the stats of a divine creature that must miles away from even the most powerful pc? The info about the pantheon, the story, the tales about the titanswar, well, they're just great, but reducing a god to a sheet filled with numbers it's just like making him mundane and falible. A great book and a greater weak point.

Summary: Divine Blessings
Comment: Very detailed book allowing for great game play and an excellent source for DMs and gamers alike. If you are an online player in Fangsfall, this book is caulked full of very usefull info to deal with your players dieties and others. As any avid gamer knows, the diety worshipped plays a huge role in you characters life, as well as any foes of that diety, not only does this book have a list of Dietys, Avatar stats, and Titans; it also has a great amount of information for followers such as holy weapons for lesser known gods, and some great arifacts. The artistry isn't the greatest and you -could- manage without this book, but it's a wonderful addition if you have the extra *ching*.
