GAZ2 The Emirates of Ylaruam was written by Ken Rolston, with a cover by Clyde Caldwell, and was published by TSR in 1987 as a 64-page booklet with a large color map and an outer folder. [1]

Reception

Lawrence Schick, in his 1991 book Heroic Worlds, calls The Emirates of Ylaruam a "Fine campaign setting". [1]

The French RPG magazine La Gazette du Donjon gave the French translation of this adventure a top rating of 5 out of 5, saying, "This is the second and final translated volume in the series, and it does not disappoint. Constituted identical to the previous one [ The Grand Duchy of Karameikos ], the quality is still there. This 'little' background supplement is full of information on the whole Ylaruam society: Social structure, laws, customs, and moral concepts.These particular geographical and climatic conditions make it a place where adventures will have no (or very little) connection with the rest of the world, which will favor characters native to the region over 'foreign' adventurers." [3]
