Hey everyone, please post your smaller, technical questions here. We may have directed you here from a removed post or from the last megathread.

If you don't receive an answer within a few days then do feel free to make a separate post, make sure to say you didn't get an answer here. You might also want to visit Rat Catcher's Guild, the WFRP Discord. They have a dedicated Q & A channel and can be a lot more snappy with answers then here on Reddit. This is the invite link: https://discord.gg/fzYuYwT

That's all! Special thanks to everyone answering questions for helping people out on the last thread.

Any content book for "Arabia/Middle East" in any edition? My players from Maghreb want to try Warhammer, we think it would be cool if there were some "Arabic" careers, akin to the Kislev ones.

Not a ton, and not in a clear-cut setting book. Primarily, it's a giant land of vast undeath, but there appears to be pockets of humanity. I think you just go ahead and steamroll your vision in, make it like 1001 Nights / Dune / Whatever you want it to be.

In the (canon) Warhammer World at the time of WFRP, the nearest counterpart area would be the Badlands and probably the upper parts of the Land of the Dead.

You won't find much on the Badlands, and what little there is for WFRP4 would be in Tribes & Tribulations (full of greenskins).

The Land of the Dead is essentially what remains of ancient Nehekhara. At the time of WFRP, it's the stronghold of the Tomb Kings (lots of undead and ancient tombs). Maybe there's some communities of the living still surviving there if you want there to be - your game. Some good background on the area "historically" - ancient Nehekhara before its 'fall' - can be found in the 2E book Lure of the Liche Lord. There's a little (but not much) on ancient Nehekhara as far as it relates to the origins of the vampire bloodlines in Nights Dark Masters too (also 2E).

You won't find any careers for player characters in the official material - you might consider it a blank canvas as far as that goes for creating your own. Lore of the Liche Lord, while mostly a Tomb Kings styled dungeon, has some interesting pieces of lore that may be of use to inform that, including some (minimal) information on the Nehekharan gods.

Not much.

For Arabia, there are few NPCs sprinkled amongst the books, but nothing exciting.

For "Middle East", that's basically Dark Lands - mutants, undead, greenskins and Chaos Dwarfs live there. Also nothing about it.

In 4e there aren't even books for Bretonnia and Kislev at the moment - tho they have 2e books that you could convert (partially done in The Ratter).

Also, if we will get something about Araby at some point it will get massive lore changes, so you basically can do whatever you want with it, it's a clean slate except like 3 major historical events.

There is the 2E fan work "Perilous Sands" which is out there on a few sites.

I believe it was originally written in French and then translated, so the French version might even be better for you
