Hi. I'm going to be starting a Ravenloft campaign in a couple of weeks, and for a change of pace my group wants a wilderness survival/dungeon crawl game with a desert twist so Amber Wastes are a natural choice. However, there's not much info on the cluster in the Third Ed/3.5 books. Are there any 2nd ed modules set in the Amber Wastes and/or books with info on the cluster? Thanks in advance.

The module Touch of Death is set in Har'Akir. Darklords deatails Sebua, and the darklord Tiyet. CotNampires has Moosha, a vampire that lives in Sebua. Pharazia is detailed in Islands of Terror. and CotN:Werebeasts has Abu Al Mir, a werejackal from Har'Akir.

Thanks a lot, really appreciate the info.

Is Islands of Terror a second ed module or a Third Ed gazetteer?

it's a 2nd edition supliment that introduce several island domains and elaborated on some existing ones. not a module as such, more like an extension to the campaign setting. glad to be of help.

I was always amazed with how much Abu from werebeasts reminded me of Abu from Touch of Death.

When I DMed TOD, the group left Har'Akir with little Abu in tow.......When I read Werebeasts I started getting these great ideas about "whatif little innocent Abu was not so innocent after all"..........the group fell aprt though and nothing ever coame of it.

There's also this interesting thread on the FoS boards about Har'Akir.
