4.0 out of 5 stars
One of the best gazetteers, Oct 1 2005
By DeAnna Ferguson "hieroglyphs_books" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dawn of the Emperors: Thyatis and Alphatia (Hardcover)
All of the Gazetteers for Mystara's Known World contain interesting cultures and unique NPCs, but the boxed set for Thyatis and Alphatia always interested me the most. Thyatis is similar to the Roman Empire. Interested in having legionnaires and riots over bread in the streets? Gladiators? Thyatis is the kingdom for you.
Alphatia is a land of magic. Unlike Glantri, where only wizards can gain power, in Alphatia, if your character can cast spells -- divine or arcane -- you'll move up in the world. Slaves and commoners have no magical abilities. Following the events of the Wrath of the Immortals boxed set, Alphatia was moved to the Hollow World, making their magic-based society even more interesting as they contended with Azcans and dinosaurs.
The boxed set contains three booklets -- one for the DM with information of both Alphatia and Thyatis and one for each country for the players to read. Two poster maps of the regions round out the boxed set.
If you can still find this rare, out-of-print classic, I highly recommend it!

mystara world political power houses, Aug 8 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dawn of the Emperors: Thyatis and Alphatia (Hardcover)
For the world of mystara Thyatis and Alphatia are the big movers and shakers. Cultures based on Fighters and based on magic users who are the superpowers of the fantasy world and are background to a lot of the Known world setting (Karameikos was originally a thyatis colony, Glantri's war with air mages was with aplphatia before coming to Mystara). the boxed set contains information on areas east of the known world, the two big super nations and includes new magic for the Alphatians and griffon riders for thyatis as well as other gazetteer setting info.
Listmania!
