Compass of Terrestrial Directions Vol. 1: The Scavenger Lands is a sourcebook for Exalted Second Edition, the last in an open-ended series.
Summary[]
- From the White Wolf Catalog:
- The Confederation of Rivers
- Forged from the shattered remains of the Dragon-Blooded Shogunate and tempered in the fires of war, the so-called Scavenger Lands continue to stand in defiance of the tyranny of the Realm, as they have done for eight centuries. Ranging from mighty Lookshy in the west to the eclectic Hundred Kingdoms in the east, the states of the former River Province offer a treasure trove of First Age wonders, minor dominions and mortal followers for the returned Solar Exalt willing to risk the wrath of the Seventh Legion to claim them.
- A setting book for Exalted®, Second Edition
- The first of five Terrestrial Direction books devoted to fleshing out the bare bones of Creation presented in the Exalted core book, this one devoted to the Scavenger Lands
- Mass combat stats for the Seventh Legion and for other Confederation forces, as well as dominion stats for the Mandate of Heaven
- Stats for the Scavenger Lands’ native gods and beasts
