Welcome to the Birthright Collector's Guide!
This is one of a series of Echohawk's D&D Collector's Guides, each of which aims to provide a comprehensive guide to D&D products published for a particular setting or era of the game. This particular guide focuses on the Birthright campaign setting, which was launched in July 1995, but fell victim to TSR's 'Time of Troubles' in 1997.
Before TSR imploded, there had been plans to re-launch Birthright with a new hardcover campaign setting book, and additional support products. Those plans were scrapped after Wizards of the Coast acquired TSR, and only three more products saw print before the line was cancelled. In 2002, WotC ran a Birthright anniversary celebration on their web site, and offered several of the unreleased products as free downloads. This included The Legacy of Kings board game, an unreleased novel, and a few game products. Even though it is one of the campaign settings which had the briefest period of official support, Birthright still managed to spawn a series of novels, a comic, a line of miniatures, a computer game and a long list of Spellfire cards.
This was the fifth installment when the Collector's Guides were first published. The original thread for this Collector's Guide is here.

Description (by Sierra Entertainment)

Somewhere across space and time is a world where the struggle for power is a way of life. A hundred rulers fight for control of great nations, and their armies trample meadows and croplands as they march into battle. Evil wizards conjure up legions of undead soldiers. High priests call their faithful to seize arms. Merchant princes plot against rival trading guilds. Thieves, assassins, and spies fill every court.

This is the world of Birthright™... where armies roar and collide in brutal combat, hungry princes scheme to seize power, and wizards secretly plot the conquest of empires. Here, rulers lead their kingdoms to greatness across the continent of Cerilia. Each ruler hopes to unite the lands under his own rule, and end the ceaseless struggle for power that has gone on since the old Anuirean empire fell, 500 years before.

You are the leader of your own kingdom and domain and it is you who has the power to wage war or preserve peace. At a single command, armies march and kingdoms fall. Thus, the Birthright™ game is a mixture of strategic war gaming and role-playing. With the blood abilities of a born king, you command heroes, wizards, and mighty armies. And, yet, will it be enough?

Explore the exciting world of Birthright™. Meet new races and characters and fight alongside old comrades. Learn to rule by virtue of your class and Birthright™.
