Yep just leafed through the book and yes almost every page of the Neverwinter Book 1 was in that book. Gauntlgrym is new, and there is a lot of content that was in the book that is missing from the EZine. There were more maps which was the primary reason I bought it. |

It's really nice. And it makes me wish for one for Paul Kemps new trilogy...I'd love to see maps of the main locales as well as the character write-ups. Heck I want one for every new trilogy.....and all the old ones as well  |

Hmmm... while the map (and artwork) is gorgeous, I don't think it matches Neverwinter's description; the city should be "shaped like an eye", with the river winding through it. |

I thought some of the Art looked familiar. |

I knew I recognized the art from somewhere. I'll have to check it page by page but a lot of the artwork and maps seem to be from the Reader's Guide to the Legend of Drizzt, seen here and here.
I specifically remember buying it not because of Drizzt but because it had cool maps that I had never seen before.
I'll compare the two when I get home. |

Well *that's* a pretty thing.
Seems to me the Jewel of the North is actually Silverymoon, but minor typo aside, this is pretty rock-on.

I will probably get the next Drizzle book because of this. |

I was surprised by this myself. But since the city will be receiving a grand of degree of attention in the coming year, it's fair to say that things have now changed.
There's an in-game reason for a lack of Neverwinter maps, of course, back in 2e as clearly stated in the "Neverwinter" entry of Volo's Guide to the North:-
quote:
"Nasher doesn't allow maps of the city to be made (hence the lack of one in these pages). This is to keep the spies of Luskan busy and add a minor measure of difficulty to any Luskanite invasion plans."
It's reasonable to assume, though, that with Luskan falling into such a state of decay in the post-Spellplague period, concerns about an invasion of Neverwinter have lessened somewhat.

Ahem... got that out of my system.
I'd like to point out a couple of other things besides the map. Like the fact that they finally have artwork detailing the pommels of Twinkle and Icingdeath. Yes, I already have replicas, but this means that there's a basis now and I can get new ones! {fanboy squee}
Also, to have Drizzt, Bruenor, Jarlaxle, Artemis, Thibbledorf, Athrogate AND Szass Tam in one book? [barney stinson falsetto]AWESOME![/barney] |

There's a map of Neverwinter! And some beautiful art of it as well! If I am not mistaken, there has never been an official published map of Neverwinter up til now, has there? At least, I remember looking for one a while back and becoming very frustrated at not finding one. But now there is! Impressive! |

Nice to see that the correct history of Gauntlgrym is now being adhered to.

And a map to Luskan, Mithral Hall, some darn good artwork, and I'm really impressed with this Ezine.
And the rumor is true, there will be a board-game. |
