			The four regios are:
			* The Monolith: a cursed ancient king awaits those who can free him from the god's curse. This is presented as a Magical regio, but is probably Faerie under Fifth Edition cosmology.
			* The Flower Lady: an old lady tends a faerie garden.
			* The Well of St. Alban: a well whose water has healing powers.
			* The Animal Powers: Powerful animal spirits reside at the heart of a forest.

The following reviews were collected from the original Ars Magica FAQ site:

FAQ Rating: \*\*\* (18 reviews; 0 *, 9 \*\*, 8 \*\*\*, 1 \*\*\*\*)

* Interesting ideas, worth perusing, but perhaps of limited usefulness.
* Illustrates very well the concept of regio. Too bad that generic regio aren't what I want, I want historic - filled regios ;)
* Nice regiones and story ideas.
* Four good examples of regiones.
* The original pocket dimension book. Introduced regios and related rules, but didn't present settings of great interest.
* Reasonable adventure seeds.
* Really liked these... nice ideas for quick adventures, without being so scripted to ruin them. Good idea done well.
* Good development of the regio, with regios and regio-control spells, but the adventures are poor. Better to get Faeries for the same rules and better adventures (The Animal Powers lifts it into mediocrity).
* Some good story ideas, some silly stuff
* Adventure locations utilizing regio. None took my fancy.
* Ideas for small encounters on the way
* Good places & short stories to introduce every-where. A good idea to replace "Magic-Aura-Rating Area" by the more customized Regio.
* Some cute little places here with real stretches to include a regio in each one. Not bad ideas, but I've never managed to use one of them in a story.
* Dated, rules need to be examined and checked, good hooks for new players.
* Regios are neat. Was a must before 4th edition, but it's only valuable now for the regio examples.

Please edit this page to add your own comments on the book.
