Zentrum ist die alte Kaiserstadt Chambara auf der Hauptinsel Yodoshi, aber der Spieler bereist auch andere Orte, wie z. Dieses Land im äußersten Osten von Harkuna besteht aus mehreren Inseln, bewohnt von Clans, die sich gegenseitig bekriegen. Im sechsten Band der Fabled-Lands-Reihe geht die Reise in das Reich Akatsurai, das stark an Japan erinnert. With luck all twelve books might one day be published. Rumours are becoming more solid and there is definitely a demand for it. Speculation abounds about the prospect of the seventh volume, ‘The Serpent King’s Domain’, making an appearance all these years later. Being more independent, ‘Lords of the Rising Sun’ doesn’t have quite so much of this. As the books all interlock and form one immense world to explore it is always quite irritating to reach a tantalising border that you will never pass and never be able to explore. To date, this remains the last to be published of the original twelve planned Fabled Lands books. To accompany this, however, is a larger selection of more powerful weapons that can be obtained. ‘Lords of the Rising Sun’ possesses foes that are more challenging to players with well-established characters. Anyone who has played through the Fabled Lands books extensively with a particular character will have found that they have probably become too powerful for most, almost all, the foes in the first five books.
In contrast, ‘Lords of the Rising Sun’ offers a plethora of stronger, more dangerous foes.
There are also fewer items that you need to carry between books. I felt less involved or engrossed in them. They tend to be on the shorter, simpler side. Overall the missions/quests are, perhaps, not as engaging as in some of the earlier books. It is this that brings the greatest scope for missions/sub quests. The contenders for power are still sizing each other up and manoeuvring for advantage. The political situation bears resemblance to that of Sokara in ‘The War Torn Kingdom’, the main difference being that war has not yet erupted. Essentially the archipelago has most in common with Shogunate Japan with its Shoguns and Daimyos and echoes of the Warring States period. Typically enough considering it locale, and as expected if you have experienced certain encounters during the other books, Akatsurai is inspired by the Far East. Like the other lands in the series, Akatsurai has a particular historical cultural influence. This cuts down on the laborious journeys but makes the book less interactive with its predecessors. Only a few, generally diplomatic in nature, require the adventurer to journey the distance away from Akatsurai to other areas in previous books. The majority of missions and scenarios are self-contained. As Akatsurai is somewhat geographically separated from the rest of the Fabled Lands, ‘Lords of the Rising Sun’ is a little more independent than the previous books in the series.
