Carwen Pritchard:
“A group of villages that still follow the old ways meet monthly on the night of the full moon in a mysterious crumbling tower, and perform profane acts the Church would condemn them for.” Continue reading Langawode Rumors, 1-3
The magic of sorcerers, wizards, and necromancers is Of Chaos. Chaos has a high affinity for black iron, the less refined, the better. Raw ore is the easiest to enchant, followed by wrought iron, forged iron, and steel. Cultists refer to iron as “the teeth of Tiamat”, although that is not accepted Church doctrine.

Not that I’m saying it will come up in the campaign (necessarily), but given the pulp-inspired changes to alignment in the setting (and the foundational nature of the death of Tiamat), expect Black, Blue, Green, Red, and White dragons to be of Chaos, Golden dragons to be of the Balance, and Sea dragons to be Unaligned.

Size guidelines for humans are a touch more obscure. My initial plan was to just provide a paragraph or two of human default information. But the more I think about providing … Continue reading Human size ranges
There are generally reckoned five races of Fair Folk: the Ellyllon (Solar elves, Lunar elves, Tenebral elves), the Coblynau (dwarves, gnomes), the Bwbachod (halflings, hobgoblins), the Gwragedd Annwn (sprites and naiads), and the Gwyllion (hags and banshee) Continue reading Seven Realms, Five Folk…
Previously on Day Nine: …the sleeping quarters for upwards of fifty kobolds, eight of whom are still in residence. They prove a weak enough threat that though outnumbered, the heroes defeat all eight without taking any casualties of their own. As the adventurers begin to more closely examine their surroundings, the mighty war horn (‘a warbling, tinny sounding bugle”) sounds to the west, the direction … Continue reading Emain Ablach Session Four
Brute leaders are
great beasts with additional hit dice, and magic-using shamans may
also be found in the larger tribes. Brute tribes hate each other, and will
fight savagely unless restrained by a powerful and feared commander, such as a Chaotic high priest or an evil sorcerer. Continue reading Chaos Brute Stats
Orc’ hair is usually black. They have pig-like faces and reddish eyes. Orcs prefer wearing vivid colors that many humans would consider unpleasant, such as blood red, mustard yellow, yellow-green, and deep purple. Their equipment is dirty and unkempt. An adult male orc is a little over 6 feet tall and females are slightly smaller. Orcs are primarily subterranean, but they are also nocturnal and … Continue reading Chaos Brutes
