=== War for the Crown === 
There's a Succession Crisis in Taldor, so it's time to play the Game of Thrones... or it would be if it could decide what the hell the main conflict is supposed to be. Women can't inherit, except half the characters are women who inherited their position. A dozen factions are involved in the power struggle, but you are literally only given more details than the names of three of them, and one of those three doesn't show up till almost the end.

Also development made Taldor fit the AP instead of making an AP to fit Taldor. Taldor previously had stuff like sumptuary laws against beards (which has been an actual plot point in an older module, where Taldor's aligned PCs are ordered to shave a disgraced noble as part of demoting him to commoner) and bans on Sarenrae worship, since she was the patron of their worst enemy (and this ban actually had large amounts of crunch behind it, devoted to how worshipers hide their faith). This was dropped because it supposedly made them a "joke" and it made it unfriendly to potential PCs respectively. Despite these being established in fluff that was supposed to reflect the present day it was retconned into weird shit in the past people vaguely remember. This was even though the AP itself portrayed the current emperor as increasingly erratic and mad with age, leaving a perfectly reasonable explanation for ditching them without retcon. Also added to Taldor to make this AP was heavy institutional sexism, something that was '''never''' alluded to before. Oh and even though Taldor has a colony in <s>Kara Tur</s> Tian Xia, one that is explicitly its only actual accomplishment in centuries and most productive part of the empire, it is ''never'' mentioned (not even as a potential homeland of a PC).

A good GM though can make it work though and weave in those issues as much as they want.
