Talinie is a theocracy whose heavy woods and mineral-rich lands are extensively exploited, and while this has stimulated the economy it has also resulted in environmental degradation and loss of control of the mining and timber guilds to foreign interests. The army of Boeruine threatens the southern border, while Talinie's high priest aggressively pursues religious unity, and Talinie's wizard has discovered questionably ethical ways to maximize the magical potential of what remains of the land.

Reception

Cliff Ramshaw reviewed Player's Secrets of Talinie for Arcane magazine, rating it a 6 out of 10 overall. [1] He described Talinie as "a theocracy suitable for rule by a lawful priest or a paladin with a penchant for flowers, but not everything is sweetness and light". [1] He commented that Boeruine "is ready to provide the same sort of support that Czechoslovakia and Afghanistan received from the USSR" and that the high priest "pursues religious unity with a vigour to make Spain's Grand Inquisitor blush". [1] He also felt that there was "the thorny question of progress", where the wizard's plans involve ethics that are "ambiguous to say the least". [1] Ramshaw concluded by saying: "This sourcebook should appeal to the 'set the world to rights' brigade. It's just as well that there's so much going on, though, because the domain itself, for all its crofts, flower gardens and glass blowing, won't hold your interest for long." [1]

Birthright is a Dungeons & Dragons campaign setting that was first released by TSR in 1995. It is based on the continent of Cerilia on the world of Aebrynis, in which the players take on the role of the divinely-empowered rulers, with emphasis on the political rulership level of gameplay. The setting revolves around the concept of bloodlines: divine power gained by heroes and passed to their descendants. Characters with a bloodline create an aura of command known as Regency, which is measured in the game using regency points or RP. Using regency, characters acquire a domain composed of provinces and holdings. The development of these domains is as much a part of the game as development of the characters. The game uses three-month domain turns to model actions of rulers over nations in much the same way as Dungeons & Dragons uses combat rounds to simulate time to model the characters' actions in battle. In 1996, Birthright won the Origins Award for Best Roleplaying Supplement of 1995.
