Product Description

The city-state of Korvosa, largest in all Varisia, has prospered over the last century since its abandonment by its founding nation of Cheliax. Its port brims with black-and-red-flagged ships - the colors of both Korvosa and Cheliax - endlessly trading fineries from the south for Varisian curiosities and her land's natural bounty. As such, Korvosa rightfully claims to be the most cultured and civilized city in the region, yet visitors might also grant the city-state the titles of most decadent, exploitative, and socially stratified. This book serves as an exhaustive guide to the city, including details on all major points of interest, profiles on the city's movers and shakers, and countless adventure hooks for enterprising GMs to expand upon.

Customer Reviews

great city resource
This book gives a detailed overview of a city. The material is rules-edition neutral for the most part and could be used with 3.5, Pathfinder, or 4th.

If you are running the Curse of the Crimson Throne adventure path, you will find this book invaluable, as many of the adventures take place within the city. Otherwise it is still an excellent drop and use city for any DnD themed campaign.

The book gives several good maps, and a breakdown of each section of the city. It lists major locations, along with notable NPCs, but leaves plenty of room for you to add your own.

High Pathfinder Quality Continues
It is increasingly clear that Paizo Publishing's Pathfinder is the true heir of the Dungeons and Dragons legacy, with the unfortunate WoTC/Hasbro descent into the playable but juvenile "fourth edition" of the D&D franchise. The Guide to Korvosa contains rich detail and exceptional depth of coverage for the city, and will absolutely enhance the play of the Curse of the Crimson Throne series. A highly recommended supplement.

Korvosan Secrets
This is a great supplement for both budding and experienced Dungeon Masters alike. It's perfectly laid out in chapters that tell of all the encounters that could happen to characters even before they explore any catacombs or ruined castles in the written adventures.
