Has anyone DM'd or adventured in this setting? How did you find it? |

Oh yes, he's in there -- in the timeline as I recall  .

Read the rest of the trilogy. It gives a lot more of a "life on the ground" view of the country, and you will doubtless be able to pluck some ideas from there... Plus it's a good trilogy!  |

And for some sweet "strange wonder" ideas you might also want to check out the FR novel "Murder in Halruaa". A bumpy funny ride, which offers some nice ideas. |

Interesting. I've agreed to DM a Halruaa game, and I find that it's almost another campaign setting altogether. |

Rod, are you familiar with the Counselors and Kings trilogy, and either the 2E or the 3E Shining South sourcebooks? |

I have only DMed Halruaa as a place that PCs passed through, and that was back during 2nd Edition days. It was great for showing the PCs all sorts of wonders, and the PCs got a chance to travel on an airship from point A to point B, but it was mainly just to reinforce the mystical, mythical nature of the place to the PCs, and they didn't stay long. This was pre-Coucillors and Kings Trilogy, 2nd Edition Shining South information, and I was spurred on to introducing the country because I liked Dwalimor Omen from the Forgotten Realms comic. |
