Further Notes[]
- This adventure takes place some considerable time after the War of the Four Kingdoms, as a character mentions "some very old papers" dating back to that period. [3] A battle took place near Bandur's Green near the end of the War between Gallantarians (under their commander Narron) and Northlanders, which ended in victory for the former.[3]
- A Hungarian translation was published in issue 3 of Kaland Játék Kockázat. It was translated by FireFoX.
