Ruins of Zhentil Keep?Awe. Some.
I already know which city in the Forgotten Realms I will include this as.
No. Zhentil Keep has long since been detailed and mapped.
This is going to become the city of Three Swords, in the Shining South, sitting on the edge of the Landrise.
Oh, alright. Even after all these years as a FR fan, I'm not familiar with that one (I know where Landrise is). I did not mean to imply you would use Kaer Maga "as is" for ZK, but rather (mis)understood you would just "cannibalize" the book for NPCs, locations and other stuff.

Simply cannibalizing products provides me little value for the money.
And a great thing is that a lot of Paizo's stuff is too good to not use as much as possible! (It just has to be a very good fit for my setting... so regional products = thumbs down, but city-related products = instant buy!)
[Fingers Crossed] Oh, I hope there will finally be some more information on the Council of Truth in there. Once I run SSoS, I won't be able to keep my players away from researching those folks... [/Fingers Crossed] :D

There's definitely some information on the Council in there. I think I can safely say that everything that gets mentioned in SSoS or the Pathfinder's Journal in Hook Mountain Massacre is expanded upon, along with a bunch of new stuff as well.

Including the Tallow Boys?
I need to let another GM know, because if so one of his PCs is going to derail his campaign by making a beeline straight for Kaer Maga.

Yay!!! Now my only problem is having to run the module in the next few weeks, and not getting the book until July....

Wow. Of all the new Paizo products that have just been announced, this is definitely the one I'm most looking forward to. I love "monster cities" like James Jacobs' Scuttlecove, and am especially looking forward to the bloatmage PrC. I've wanted to see those guys since Eando Kline met one in the Pathfinder fiction.
Yes! - at last the Bloatmage! :)

But of course! There's quite a bit of information about them in there. What's a city of corruption without some information-brokering prostitutes? :)

The players in my game hated the Seven Swords of Sin, mainly because I ran it during RotRL between 3 and 4. The dinosaurs stat block has been affixed to my homemade screen and used as a grudge monster should a player get stupified during the game.
Paizo rocks.

Unfortunately for his party the PC in question won't be going for the info so much as the wares.
Calistrian to the hilt, this guy. Damn near Slaaneshi.
Personally, I'm really interested in what's causing all those birth defects down in the Warrens(and if it's a good place to spawn certain sorcerer bloodllines and tieflings).
I am so bloody happy this book is gonna turn up before I start CotCT (which I plan to do in August) ! Kaer Maga sidetrek during History of Ashes ! Yeeeah !
You and I are on the same page, Gorbacz. In order to give the path a bit of a boost along the way, my conversion of Curse of the Crimson Throne is going to include a full conversion of Seven Swords of Sin, which is set entirely within Kaer Maga. I'm running my playtest group through it now. I'll try and take a look at this book and see what I can use from it.
The new artwork is HAWT! I am going to start a new campaing in August that is based smack dab in Kaer Maga. My players also play in the PFS so I think most of their characters are going to be affiliated with the Society. There should be plenty there to keep them occupied for a long time. I am not sure if the PFS has a very big presence in Kaer Maga, if so, that will be so much the better! This is a big "MUST HAVE"!!! I think it would be fairly easy to tie the PFS into the Seven swords of Sin as well.
I'm kinda interested in seeing what is done with the bloatmages, anyway. The Bloatmage Initiate feat, IMO, is kinda junk.
Some sort of PrC or alternate option, perhaps taking damage to enhance spells (by drawing upon the excess reserves of blood), either nonlethal damage for minor effects, or Con damage for greater effects, and / or perhaps tapping into a set number of 'Heme points' stored up, could be intriguing. Not every spell would be enhanced, but when the bloatmage is willing to tap the resources they've stored up, they could boost a casting in some way.
The parallels between this sort of 'heme casting' and the use of 'stored rasa' in Tantic practices just occured to me.
.25 seconds later it squicked me out.
