"'Let's concentrate on the things we have in common', he said, and posted a list of 17 things that further defined his point of view." :wink:

That looks like a laundry list of "what is known of the age," compiled from various canon sources,sans too terribly much personal bias. Mind you, I have not read DAB in its entirety, and its been a while since I thumbed through my copy of the DA-series modules.

Whether or not the items on the list are used in crafting a narrative/adventure background is entirely up to the author.
