There are several differences between the 2ed and 3ed Shining South, but I would still say that for someone interested in the region it would be worth it. then again, I prefer the 2ed Shining South, so I am a bit biased. |

How much of the 3e Shining South covers these 2e books?
As I said above... the Halruaan entries in those two books I mentioned relate almost specifically to the PC types they are detailing and how those types operate in particular regions of the Realms.
A few tidbits made it into 3e SS as I recall, but the two books themselves are still useful sources on their own.

If you're looking for specific lore about how the various types of PCs, fighters-wizards-cleric-and-rogues for example, operate in Halruaa, then yes... they are worth the hassle.

In my opinion, reading novels that "play" in the area is really the best way to get to "know the land". I liked Murder in Halruaa very much and would recommand it. It gives a good overall impression of Halruaa especially with the special relationship to magic in everday live, as faras I remember. (read the book ages ago though.)
I don't think that the information in the 2nd. Ed. Shining South differs all too much from the one given in new Ed. (cannot speak for the other sources mentioned by Sage cause I don't have them.) |

And if you can track any of them down (good luck) the old Forgotten Realms comic book featured, as one of its protagonists, a Halruaan wizard, Dwalimor Omen, who is also mentioned briefly in the Shining South sourcebook. |

Do you have the old 2nd. or the new 3rd Ed. Sourcebook "Shining south"? |

The old FR supplement The Shining South and the new supplement Shining South should hold some lore as well. You might also want to check LEoF for some historical info, since Halruaa was founded by Netherese refugees. |

Elaine Cunningham's "Wizardwar" trilogy is set in Halruaa and highly recommended.
