From the web:

"This is the second in a series - a completely new concept in gaming aids for the DUNGEON & DRAGONS Game System. Within these covers is a complete historical, economical, geographical, and sociological overview of the Emirates of Ylaruam. The village of Kirkuk is presented in great detail (with both descriptions and a map of the area) as a typical village in the Emirates.

In addition, there is a full-size, color map of the Emirates, the cities of Surra-Man-Raa and Tameronikas, a typical Emirates Village, and a caravan village. This map is fully compatible with all Gazetteers in this series, so that DMs and players can put them side by side for comparison and/or play.

This series of Gazetteers provides a rich tapestry of background material for player and DM alike and is sure to benefit the gamer immeasurably."

 

GAZ4: The Kingdom of Ierendi (1987)

From the web:

"To some, it is a vacationer's paradise. Tropical islands, set in sapphire seas, fringed with shell-covered beaches: the perfect spot to "get away from it all." To others, it is a place to be feared. Pirates' hideaways, disease-ridden jungles, psychotic natives: the perfect spot to avoid.

The Kingdom of Ierendi comprises of ten islands, each with a specific attraction for the adventure-seeking visitor. The native population includes the Makai, the original tribe to inhabit the islands, and various settlers who have chosen these exotic locales as their home (well for some, perhaps "chosen" isn't quite the proper word...).

Your characters want to take a break from continental life? Here is the material for precisely that kind of relief. This Gazetteer includes information on each island in the Kingdom, complete maps of the area, adventures keyed to specific locations (as well as some more general ones), and for the DM a new method of playing out sea battles, complete with ship counters.

Come back to Ierendi. Make it yours, again and again."

GAZ11: The Republic of Darokin (1989)

From the web:

"In Darokin, wealth is power. There is no place in this land for the unthinking brute who solves every problem with force. Darokin has survived by cleverness, by negotiation, and by guile, despite being surrounded by mighty barbarous nations.

In fact, the Darokinians have thrived over the years, establishing themselves as the undisputed masters of overland commerce. And, since dead neighbors make poor trading partners, they've become equally adept at diplomacy.

The Republic of Darokin, the latest Gazetteer for the DUNGEONS & DRAGONS game system, gives you an in-depth look at this prosperous land, including:

- A new Merchant character class
- A complete, detailed history of Darokin
- The geography, government, peoples, society, and cities of this huge land, plus a guide to Darokinian culture and characters
- A large, full-color map of the Republic of Darokin
- Two full-color sheets of cardboard fold-ups - build your own merchant caravans in 3D"

DMGR4: Monster Mythology (1992)

From the web:

Monster Mythology is a companion volume to AD&D 2nd Edition Legends & Lore. Non-human pantheons were not included in Legends and Lore, and this book makes good this deficit. Monster Mythology is of greatest use to readers who possess Legends and Lore, but it is also usable by those who do not. A summary of important general rules and notes from Legends and Lore is given and expanded upon here.

Monster Mythology has a similar style of presentation to AD&D 2nd Edition Legends and Lore. The revised Legends and Lore was a complete rewrite of the original, with an emphasis placed upon role-playing and using the gods (and their avatars and servants) in a fantasy campaign. Likewise each section of Monster Mythology describes the cultures, societies and myths of the races who worship the pantheons in question.

Maglubiyet... Blibdoolpoolp... Diinkarazan... Panzuriel... Such names are whispered in the dark on the far side of midnight, or muttered fearfully around jugs of wine when old, scarred adventurers tell their tales. They are the unseen, unknown things worshiped by monsters and monstrosities. Learn all about the avatars and shamans of giants, goblins, the underdark, even illithids and beholders, in this expansion of the popular Legends & Lore.

 

N2: The Forest Oracle (1984)

From the cover:

The land lies under a curse. Fruit drops to the ground, its pulp black and rotten. Leaves curl and wither on the branches. Animals flee the parched vale, or starve.

Long ago, the Downs prospered under the care of Druids. But the priests of nature have retreated deep into the woods and rarely show themselves. One old man claims that the Druids have the power to save the valley, if only someone could find their Oracle to seek help. Will you reach the Forest Oracle of the Druids in time? And if you do, can they really lift the curse?

Or does the answer lie elsewhere?

Only the most daring and cunning adventurers will save the Downs. For character levels 2-4.

 

AC9: Creature Catalogue (1986)

Central Casting: Heroes of Legend (First Edition) (1988)

From the back cover:

Central Casting: Heroes of Legend

A Character Creation System -A Roleplaying aid for all Fantasy Roleplaying Systems

Until now, beginning heroes have been flat, lusterless characters with no sense of history or depth of personality. A warrior was a fighting machine, a wizard provided heavy artillery, a thief acted as a mobile lock pick, and an elf just had point ears.

With Central Casting: Heroes of Legend, characters take on lives of their own. They gain families, friends, enemies, personalities, detailed past histories, and most importantly- gain motivations for life and adventuring.

 From the web:

A generic game aid for use with any fantasy role-play game. Creates detailed character histories using dice tables. Includes role-play hints, game play benefits and guidelines for fitting skills into any roleplay rules system.

REF2: Character Record Sheets (1989)

From the back cover:

The Cities of Hârn can be used as independent towns that can be dropped into an existing fantasy world.

Aleath: A freetown in Kanday, Aleath is considered one of the most beautiful and peaceful cities on Hârn. Although its history has sometimes been marred by bloodshed it has always survived, and is considered one of the safest places on Hârn.

Cherafir: The ancient capital of Melderyn that may trace its origins to the enigmatic earthmasters. Commonly called the "Mages' City", most outsiders consider it a place of bizarre happenings and weird inhabitants.

Coranan: The largest City on Hârn and the capital of the Thardic Republic. Coranan is known for its profusion of palaces and great buildings, relics of the fallen Corani Empire.

Golotha: An urban blight, and the primary settlement in Rethem Golotha squats at the mouth of the Thard River. A city of secrets and dark places governed by a malevolent religious council, Golotha has a well deserved reputation for corruption and sudden death.

Shiran: The second city of the Tharic Republic, Shiran is a mecca for hedonists and is widely known as the "City of Sins".

Tashal: The principal seat of the kings of Kaldor, Tashal is the second largest city on Hârn. Founded six hundred years ago on the ruins of an older city, Tashal has a labyrinthine network of underground tunnels beneath its streets.
