I am just torn up about Lords of Darkness and Lords of Madness as on one hand I am intrigued by aberrations such as Illithids and Beholders but on the other hand I would like to know more about the evil organisations in Faerun so thats why I would like some opinions on which book people think are better. Chances are that I will buy both of them if I see them as finding these books in South Africa isnt the easiest task anyway!

I have ordered a few 2E books via Amazon, and for the most part haven't been too disappointed with their condition, considering the age of the books. Just need to double check the asking price vs the suggested price, also you can get some good bargains on used books.
