A really splendid exploration of non-Humans in the Empire, something which for my money has been largely missing from WFRP up to this point. The chapters on the Moot and Imperial Dwarves are standouts, and the Laurelorn chapter was extremely welcome but I wish there was more of it! There's also a chapter on the Grand Provinces of the Empire (pre-Empire in Ruins) which doesn't really fit, but is a good read.

This is 95% lore (with four new non-Human careers being the only rules stuff) so this is valuable for anyone running games in the Warhammer world regardless of system. Heartily recommended.
