Iggwilv is drawn well on the cover, IMO. Fiend's Embrace, however, seems like material for a higher level adventure than 4th. Oh well, it can be adjusted if necessary.
Nice to have the map complete. Who can tell me what's in the Tomb of Yagrax's Hands (besides, presumably, Yagrax's Hands)?

Carl Sargent can tell you, on page 64 of Iuz the Evil, where it is called the "Tomb of Tzunk's Hands."

Heh, so by renaming it the "Tomb of Yagrax", is that an intentional slight against Mr. Kuntz?

Well, Yagrax is a play on Gary Gygax's name, right? I don't know the origin of the Tomb; did Gygax (or Kuntz) name it thus originally, and Sargent change it when everything Gygax became anathema to WoTC?

because as talented as he was Sargent was under the mistaken impression about just who Tzunk and Yagrax were, when they lived etc... Roger Moore compounded the error instead of correcting it in The Adventure Begins, which simply further muddied the waters... you can find a wonderful write up on the subject on Maldin's website.
Personaly I am happy that the situation is finaly being adressed.

Wow, Maldin's website is a trip. Seems he has thoughts on Kyuss, as well... but I digress. OK, cwslyclgh, what's your take on what's in the Tomb of Yagrax's Hands? Has anyone actually fleshed it out?
