I thought the same while writing! Truthfully, every attempt was made to paint (in small brushstrokes) the beginnings of a picture of the lands immediately beyond Shosara, Sereatha, and the Blood Wood. It remains to be seen how much makes the final cut though--there are lots of things that have to be considered by the development team when locking down details in a book like this.Fingers crossed/thumbs pressed that the finished book gives you what you are looking for!

At the time of writing, the ED3 plan was to re-release the ED1 Blood Wood book as Nations of Barsaive Volume 5: Blood Wood with small updates (ala Throal, Sky Raiders, etc.) and simultaneously release Elven Nations to cover the other elven nations.Mataxes wrote:Blood Wood is not going to be included. It was part of the original plan, I think, under ED3 to have Elven Nations be the revised Blood Wood book with additional material. But the scope shifted because of the amount of material produced for the new areas.
Truthfully, there are only two changes that spiral out of EN into Blood Wood materials in the original draft--an additional ranelle and some information about the passions (or rather, one in particular).Blood Wood is/will be still canonical, except for any places where Elven Nations provides updated information on it. (I've been reading the document and haven't come across anything that jumped out at me.)
There are some bits and pieces from the Tableau Infractus material, I think--the original outline from which I started work on the book had been started by Mr. Ragland. The book went in some different directions once I had settled into it, but I tried to not be inherently contradictory!It includes information on Shosara and Sereatha (historical and present-day), and gives history on the 'Western Nations' that were lost to what is now the Wastes. I have no idea if the info from Tableau Infractus will bear any similarity to our product.

No problem 
It was great material that made my player play shosaran character.Also in my Barsaive there was a plot to cleanse corruption of the Forest Heart. It included shosaran ambassador, Seekers of the Heart and Alamaise. Alachia was stabbed with Everliving Flower, Elven Palace was burned by Alamaise which was accidental attacked on that day.
From the ashes Alachia stood up without thorns vowing to heal the Wood. Or at least she appeared to not having thorns (meh... Illusionists).

I know there is still a lot of work needed to be put into Companion and Questors book but I am rereading Blood Wood and I wonder if it will be canonical with 4ed.
Do you have plans to include Blood Wood in Elven Nations or left it out because old Blood Wood will remain canonical?
Can you tell what nations excluding Western Kingdoms and Shosara are you planning to include? Tableu Infractus had very nice book about Shosara. Is it gonna be incuded?
