Blood & Silk is a historical sourcebook for the entire World of Darkness. Here, at last is a historical look at the Kuei-jin of the Dark Ages and their Middle Kingdom. From the intruders from the West... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I found this book to be a very good source, like most anything connected with the Dark Ages setting of White Wolf. The setting has a rich character, which holds true all the way through the book. Even if you don't intend to run an entire chronicle in the East, there is information on the other shen of the time. I see it having some usefulness in other settings, or even in other game systems, for those who wish to add a touch of darkness to the Orient. Unfortunately, as I am not a Masquerade: Kindred of the East Storyteller or player, I shall have to purchase the Kindred of the East book, for enough information to actually play one of the Wan Kuei, as it is still only a source book. I highly recommend it.
A historical sourcebook for Kindred of the East in Dark Ages

Well, The book is very good but I highly recommend getting Kindred of the East first and getting familiar with it. The book shows the different events and systems for the Dark Ages for Kindred of the East and it does a very nice job. Among my favorite is the list of the old weapons used in the far east like the naginata and the sai. Overall the book was good, but of course good only for those interested in Kindred of the East.
