Prepare for revelations, honored DUNGEON MASTER™. Withinthese pages lie many of the secrets of Zakhara, for your eyes only. Youwill find an explanation of the Law of the Loregiver, descriptions of

the various character class specifics (things unknown to the players and theirPCs), information about the fellowships of the holy slayers, and insights intoother power groups.

Herein also lie the mysterious magical items peculiar to the Land of Fate:their descriptions, purposes, and pertinent information. At the end of thisbook, you will find tables for discovering these items "by a twist of Fate." Youwill also find a guide to the abbreviations describing characters in this text.

Continue your journey, then, honored Dungeon Master, into the burningrealm of Zakhara, the Land of Fate. May Fortune smile upon you, and maythe hand of Fate be with you always.

Travel Across

The large maps in this boxed set lack the "standard" printed hex grid tofacilitate movement. Instead, a clear plastic overlay allows movement

on the maps.There are three poster maps in the AL-QADIM™ Land of Fate set. The

first depicts the entire civilized world from the Free Cities to the CrowdedSea and from the High Desert to the Isle of the Elephant. Beyond theseborders are madness, savagery, and death. The scale on this overview map is90 miles per inch, and on the overlay one small hex equals 18 miles. Theremaining two maps concentrate on the "heart" of the Land of Fate. Onthese maps, 1 inch equals 30 miles, such that one small hex on the overlayequals 6 miles.

When moving overland, characters have movement points equal to twicetheir movement rate, and their ability to move each mile is determined bythe cost of the terrain they are in. This cost is defined in the "Time and

Movement (Terrain Effects on Movement)" section ofthe Dungeon Master's Guide (see Chapter 14). Acomplete description of the Land of Fate maps and

their terrain is located in the Adventurer's Guide toZakhara. The movement modifiers for terrain featuresare shown below (see Table 1).
