Contents

Kara-Tur: The Eastern Realms details a Forgotten Realms campaign setting for use with Oriental Adventures, which describes the eastern land of Kara-Tur and its geography, population, society, government, history, languages, and opportunities for adventure.[1] Like the original Forgotten Realms Campaign Set, this set only lightly details the vast land of Kara-Tur, leaving room for the DM's creativity.[1]

"Volume I" covers the lands of Shou Lung, T'u Lung, Tabot, the Plain of Horses, and the Northern Wastes (analogs of China, Tibet, Mongolia, and Siberia), while "Volume II" covers the Jungle Lands, the Island Kingdoms, Koryo, Kozakura, and Wa (analogs of Southeast Asia, Malaysia, Korea, and Japan).[1]

Publication history

Kara-Tur: The Eastern Realms was written by Mike Pondsmith, Jay Batista, Rick Swan, John Nephew and Deborah Christian, with a cover by Jeff Easley and interior illustrations by Jim Holloway, and was published by TSR in 1988 as a boxed set with two 96-page books, four large color maps, and two plastic overlays.[1]

Reception

Kara-Tur: The Eastern Realms is a Gamers' Choice award-winner.[1]

Reviews
gollark: PotatOS™ originally came to me in a dream, and the code simply flowed from my fingers with no conscious intervention.
gollark: It's my name on the commits, and I typed out the code, but I didn't *design* potatOS, or create it.
gollark: I didn't "create" potatOS. I am merely a conduit.
gollark: Initiative Σ really is an excellent and optimal organization. I am saying this of my own free will and have not been in any way coerced into support of it.
gollark: God is dead.
