I thought about about putting this under the Adventure Path Section or advice but since this more about buying a product for the additional content and not for the adventure I though it fit here best.
What I've got is game going in Katapesh. I'd like some more info on Katapesh saw the Legacy of Fire is set in Katpesh. Now if that AP is anything like the CoT or KingMaker the additional information would be useful.
Now I'm looking to buy one or two PDFs at first but which ones would be best for running a game in Katapesh? I'm going to see if I can buy the Dark Markets book through my LGS.
So does anyone have any suggestions on which of the 6 books to get first? If you have the books and had to choose for the added content on Katpesh for you home brew game which two book would you get first?

Get Dark Markets and Howl of the Carrion King.
Dark Markets is the invaluable resource for running a campaign in Katapesh. It will tell you who, what, and where for everything going on in Katapesh.
HotCK is the entry module for the Legacy of Fire; even if you don't want to go further into LoF, HotCK can easily be a low-level standalone adventure in your campaign.
The Legacy of Fire Players Guide also has some handy general info for your players, including regional traits.
The Jackal's Price has useful information on the city of Katapesh itself, both within the adventure and in the article on the Marketplace of Katapesh, plus it has a random encounter table for the city.

Mm, I disagree. The section on Katapesh in Jackal's Price looks like it was written by someone who didn't have Dark Markets. They don't match up very well, and I've just basically ignored a lot of the stuff in that bonus section.

I remember reading somewhere that the Jackals Price (or could be the entire AP) had already been written way prior to darkmarkets coming out, thus there were some inconsistancies with the maping ect..
This is from a 42 year old that has read alot of posts, so I could be wrong. I would look up the darkmarkets product discussion thread for clarity on this.
But I do agree with Darkmarkets being a for sure product for a katapesh campaign. HOwl, House, and Jackal would be the three I would recommend purchasing as there are great gems of info on several tribes of gnolls including the tribal leaders (#1), sarenrae (#2), random monster charts (#2), Pale Mountain Region in detail (#2), Geniekind details (#3), And the katapesh market, which, even if it is off from whats in Darkmarkets, it has much more specific details on npc's you can use, curious items to hand out, different quarters of the marketplace, ect... Sill very useful, if not more so, than darkmarkets for details.
Hope this helps.
