Grab your katana, ready your best kung fu, and prepare to discover a whole new world of exciting adventure! The mysteries and wonders of the Dragon Empires are finally revealed! The continent of Tian Xia stretches from the polar ice in the north to well south of the equator — a realm where honorable samurai, devious ninja, martial artistry, strange spirits, and imperial dragons rule. The Dragon Empires Gazetteer also presents five new player character races — the birdlike tengus, reptilian nagaji, shapechanging foxlike kitsune, reincarnted spiritualists known as samsarans, and the shadowy masters of trickery called the wayang. An overview of life in the Dragon Empires offers a look at a new core pantheon (including more than a dozen brand-new deities), several new factions, and the challenges faced by a land recovering from the recent fall of a continental empire.

Delve deep into the fecund jungle, where the Silverback King rules with a wise majesty and an iron sword. Some say his lair sparkles with the gems of fallen empires, but few can match his ferocity in battle. A Compleat Encounter, scalable to any level, featuring the gorilla king and his monkey servitors.
