Reception

Keith H. Eisenbeis reviewed the module in the March/April issue of ''White Wolf'' magazine. He stated that "If one can overlook the obvious incongruities and fairly simplistic short dungeons at the end, this product provides a nicely fleshed out geographic area for adventuring opportunities. In this sense it is a good resource for those DMs running campaigns in the World of Greyhawk setting. In all other senses, however, it is substantially lacking." He rated it as a 2 out of a possible 5.
