At the extremely low price ... plus a pay what you want option so you can pick it up for practically free.. purchasing this is pretty much a no-brainer... it should be considered to be a companion piece to the Torg Eternity Living Land sourcebook (which is in turn a companion to the Torg Eternity Core Rules book) both of which I've already written reviews for if you're interested in reading them.

This book is 26 pages long but it's a really, really good (in my opinion anyways) 26 page read ... the religion of the invaders of North America is a huge , one might say primary driving force in their lives... the spirit axiom is the highest of all the invading realms, definitely more so than earth's, to the point where even your average ordinary layperson (whether an invading edeinos "lizard man" or say a transformed human from earth) can easily call upon miracles of faith , something normally reserved for say clergy or in the case of Asyle a crusading paladin or hardened battle-chaplain from Orrosh in other invading realities (cosms).

So this book.. which does a number of things but, among them, gives a more in depth analysis of the religion of the Living Land and the role two major deities, Lanala and Rek Stalek, play in it ... as well as High Lord Barak Kaah's role in said religion as basically the high priest of the edeinos as well as their leader.. is a welcome addition to the Living Land material. As well the author discusses in great deal the social and spiritual axioms, it's impact on the Living Land, and suggestions on the concrete effects this has on game play.

There's a very intriguing discussion as to the potential consquences for the infiniverse whether Barak Kaah wins or loses in his stated goal (see below) which plays into the role his darkness device and the primal forces of destruction and creation (the Nameless One ... creator of the darkness devices that give the invading High Lords their power... and Apeiros, respectively as described in the Torg Core Rules book) and the consquences for the infiniverse itself ... what I found particularly intriguing is the author's proposal to actuall HELP Barak Kaah acheive his dream of becoming the lover and equal of the deity Lanala (something Barak Kaah is actively pursuing as mentioned in the original Living Land sourcebook ) and it potentially turning out in a way that defeats and potentially even traps the darkness device and causes Kaah to basically leave Earth and stop causing problems for it.

The book also gives a detailed description of the social structure of the invading edeinos tribes as influenced by the axioms and suggestions as to how the player characters can get involved in said social structure in terms of befriending tribes and (shockingly) possibly even allying with Kaah in terms of helping him acheive his goal (see above). Even if everything the author suggests isn't necessarily your cup of tea at the very least the author still gives you a lot to think about and there's a wealth of useful material in here that any gamesmaster worth their salt can mine. The new perks and miracles described in the last two pages of the book were also an interesting read but I was far more interested in the "world building" part of the book .. the detailed analysis of the society and inner working of the Living Land if you will.

In summary I view this as a must-buy for the Torg Eternity campaign setting.
