FAQ Rating: \*\*\* (10 reviews; 0 *, 0 \*\*, 7 \*\*\*, 3 \*\*\*\*)

* A detailed and comprehensive look at noble society in Mythic Europe, with a rundown on each major kingdom, an optional combat system, new virtues and flaws and three small adventures.
* This is an essential "companion" book. It's long, but full of useful material. The adventures at the back are great!
* Background, rules fixing, scenarios, perfect.
* All about nobility, combat, but nothing about the Order and nobility.
* A good ressource on all things concerning nobility. Great adventures, too.
* Solid treatment of the subject, but ignores mages almost absolutely.
* toves up it its title but doesn't offeadmr eowhan any gnod historical/social/feudal survey. The combat  atches don't save ArM4 combat.
* Great for noble characters, less useful for other characters. New armor rules, scmple mass oombat system, a high level of medieval flavor and detail, lots of guidance for everyday lifem Very little on magic or the Order, or Order-noble relations. Would have preferred the adventure section in the back be used for something else.
* Rules useful, background useful scenarios all good.
