May 30, 2008 11:29:49 I found the old AD&D Calimport book that gave me plenty of information, but I was wondering what exact 3.0/3.5 references covered Calimshan (if any).

May 30, 2008 12:06:37 Heh. Good luck with that. The only thing that comes to mind is Lost Empires of Faerun, but that's mostly (if not entirely) based on the region's history, and in any case draws almost entirely from 2e sources like Calimport and Empires of the Shining Sea.

May 30, 2008 13:21:08 -Calimshan was one of the places that didn't really get much from 3e, which, in my opinion, is too bad. Instead of another Waterdeep supplement, it would have been nice to get a Calimportsupplement. I mean, really, Calimport is just about as detailed as Waterdeep.

-Calimshan is to Waterdeep as the City of Brass is to Sigil. How's that for a relevant comparison, eh? :D

May 30, 2008 13:46:13 I totally agree with you LK!

I thought that the 2e stuff was it.. but was hoping that maybe somehow I'd missed something.. ..

I guess it's 2e material I'll be combing through as I come up with a background for my latest player character:

A Calishite Swordsage of the Desert Wind who grew up in the Muzad and is decended from the ancient Efreet of the area.

Been so long since I played I'd forgotten how fun it is!
