The Golden Khan of Ethengar (product code GAZ12) is an supplement published by TSR in 1989 for the fantasy role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons.
The Golden Khan of Ethengar is a set of two booklets that detail the plains of Ethengar within the campaign world of Mystara, and the eight tribes that live there, who are described by Lawrence Schick as resembling "the Mongols at the time of Kublai Khan".[1]
The product contains two booklets within a cover folder:
- The 32-page "Player's Guide" provides an overview of the land, and includes rules for Ethengar player characters and a shaman character class.[1] Descriptions of customs, appearance, equipment, law, and religion are also included.[2]
- The 64-page "Dungeon Master's Guide" contains background information on the history, politics, and leaders of the tribes, including the Golden Khan himself and his court.[1] An annual calendar is closely examined, since festivals play an important role.[2] The gazetteer also details the geography of the steppes, the humanoids and other creatures that live there, and adventure scenario suggestions, as well as rules for adapting the material to Advanced Dungeons & Dragons.[1]
A large color map of the region is included.[1]
