Thanks for the feedback! This was my first time working to this small a format/page count and I definitely went overboard on text efficiency. In retrospect, I should have skipped or drastically shrunk the surface map and reclaimed that space for more text, which would have left me more room to address your other complaints and also to really get the wizard's ghost more fleshed out.
(I'm planning on fleshing it out more into an 8-12 page Dragonbane module with separate map files. 4-page A5 is tight, especially since I wanted to include the mutation table and the bestiary.)
