The layout is a bit clunky, but that is certainly due to this being the first (and only!) Dark Ages: Mage supplement on the Vault. It doesn't detract in any significant way (well, bookmarks would be nice), though the whole thing could be a bit more visually clean if it were re-laid out now that there are more of us with experience of how to do it.

The product is a deep dive into the magical geography and population of the island of Rugen in modern Germany, as well as a story of a being of immense power the lies below it, periodically contained and always hungering for more power.

Overall, it's a solid piece, good Dark Age feel with a well-chosen time frame. Could use a few tweaks here and there, but overall, a strong start to the Dark Ages: Mage STV products. Hopefully we'll see more both in general and from this author.
