Contents

Creatures of Barsaive, by Fraser Cain, is a bestiary describing fifty more creatures found in Barsaive. [1] The information is provided by the great dragon Vasdenjas, who is dictating his reminiscences to a dwarven scribe. [2]

Some of the creatures are original creations, some are more traditional creatures that are given a background suited to the Earthdawn setting. [2]

Reception

In the July 1995 edition of Dragon (Issue #219), Allen Varney noted that like other Earthdawn supplements, this book "takes a creative approach to its well-worn subject." Varney thought using a dragon's point-of-view "reveals much about draconic psychology, and his dialogues with the scribe make the text a delight to read." [2]
