In this review, I will be looking at the Codex of Aihrde Expansion Valleys of Kayomar, a supplement for the Castles and Crusades role-playing game, published by Troll Lord Games. The book is part of the Codex of Aihrde line, which explores the world of Aihrde, a fantasy setting inspired by Norse mythology and Celtic folklore. The book focuses on the region of Kayomar, a land of chivalry, law, and order, where many castles and villages dot the landscape. The book provides a detailed overview of the history, geography, culture, politics, and religion of Kayomar, as well as its various factions, enemies, and allies. The book also includes new rules, monsters, magic items, and adventure hooks for exploring the Valleys of Kayomar.
