Here is the sanctioned version of Chap 1 with editorials made.
Please look them over and make sure I didn't mess anything up.
I tried to catch what I could - martial vice marital
I also tried to rewrite the regional versus cultural text to make more sense. (another comment made)
Let me know if I messed up - I've been fighting a bad cold the past several days.Duane Eggert

Looks great. I've read carefully through the chapter, and found a few more typos and language edits/suggestions. Most are just little clean-ups that will help create a more professional level of quality. Nothing like being editor for the chief editor. :P
p. 14, top of 2nd column, it says,
Human rangers may select a human sub-culture instead of a creature type as a favored enemy without being considered evil. For example, a Rjurik ranger may consider Anuireans to an enemy to his people and way of life and thus study how to best thwart their efforts without being evil.
I never liked the 3.0 ranger restriction anyways, inter-racial fighting (and those who specialize in it) is a part of every culture in history. By this reasoning, most every soldier in Cerilia would tend to be of evil alignment.
p. 16, 1st paragraph
Also, the word "particular" is used three times in one running sentence. How about this as a rewrite:
However, the skills that a rogue finds most valuable tend to be significantly different from culture to culture. The skills possessed by a rogue are almost always a unique blend crafted by the circumstances of their life, but there are some skills for which rogues of a given race or culture are particularly noted.
p. 6, end of 2nd paragraph, reads
their level of technology is roughly equivalent to that of historic cultures during of the close of the Renaissance period.
Better yet, just say "their level of technology is roughly equivalent to that of historic cultures of the late Renaissance period."
Table 1-6, p. 23:
Administrate is a class skill for magicians.
p. 25, 2nd paragraph under Lead skill:
Your skill allows you to sway public opinion with your inspiring rhetoric. You may attempt to perform agitate as a free action (that is, it does not take up a character, court or domain action, but is performed in conjuncture with another action)
I don't think conjuncture is a word at all.
p. 28, Cultural Arms Training:
p. 31 Plainsrider feat reads,
You're come from the wide-open plains of the Khinasi.
Khinasi is the name for the region as well as the people, correct?
Finally, p. 36 is completely blank.

Only for the Anuirean barbarians. It´s the khir-aften-el-Arrasi. ;-)
Those who don´t like el-Arrasi probably will call themselves still Basarji.
But as the whole stuff was written from an Anuirocentric viewpoint in 2E
I would expect nothing else now.

They should both be 'Vs'. 'Vo' refers to the Vorynn bloodline derivation.
