This book is massive, but that is no surprise for trying to include the lore and information that a possible new player would need to start playing this game. However, there is something in here for older players that are used to the years of written material that this game has been active for. It has also allowed for new players to actually jump into these games without needing to know those years of material. The quick write up provide the feel for each clan and sect without it needing to be its own book.
