"That over there is our most beautiful princess with her ugly handmaiden. You mustn't speak to her before the ceremony." Anything else is a mere misunderstanding. "No, the handmaiden isn't part of this deal." 1 Quote Telling how it is excessive verbis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belgath Posted April 24, 2018 Author Share Posted April 24, 2018 It ended up being quite a fun and ongoing adventure. In our current campaign World, Orcs are called the soulless. Orcs Originated 9 centuries ago win the earth was under the dominion of the Azalea commonly called the Devourers. As the Azazel Sustained life and gained power through the consuming of Sentient souls. A great shaman of the human tribes in the highlands had combated this by binding the highland tribes soils to a Giant quartz crystal hidden deep with one of their Sacret caves. Then Bound the spirit of The great boar to his People. This made the tribe For the most part invisible to the Azazel as they can only see the spirit nature of things. Overtime the people and there Descendants of this ritual took on a much more brutish aperance. Within 500 years the Orcs had Grown in numbers to the point that they became a Serious threat to the Azazel. But Enough of the history as it stands now in my campaign word the Azazel are looking to once again Conquer man. But Have been doing it from the shadows using religion to encourag the wars and hat between the orcs and man. Also the time is right for a new binding Which will happen as the last part of the wedding ceremony Which the players will be part Of they have Decided to help combat the Azazel. As of yet they have not really asked the Shaman What’s really involved In the ceremony. Or realized that technically they could be bound to any Spirit animal type.

And the other is the one is What she actually looks like the most prized woman of renown amongst the orcs. He must marry her true intent. To the satisfaction of the orcish shaman. To prevent Destruction of the kingdom by Orcish hords. The players job is to make sure the marriage happens And that the prince doesn’t back out. Sounds like Henry VIII and Anne of Cleves, or the old joke with the punchline "Right, where is the chief's daughter that I have to wrestle?"

The hollow planet/place/thing was a pain in the ass and is a map that I’ll probably never finish. As keeping track of all the prospective was giving me headaches. Planter/place/thing is a good description as I had no real idea for the place, other then a crazy 3D world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belgath Posted August 26, 2019 Author Share Posted August 26, 2019 (edited) Hello everybody it’s been a while. Life has been a bit crazy busy. But Finally found time to start working on a new campaign. Ruin Seeps Through Shallow Wounds. In this world the two major oceans are completely separated by a narrow volcanically active land mass. That runs along one of the tectonic plates. There’s two major port cities that allow trade between The two major bodies of water. And of course because there Location there is direct competition and a lot of intrigue between the two cities. The player characters Get thrown right into the mix keeping it very open world. It will be interesting to see what direction the players decide to go in. Small rural towns sit outside of the main cities have them spaced out about every 4 to 6 miles stretching along the volcanic islands. There is plenty of room as the cities are being re-inhabited yes after a long span of just abandon being abandoned. People are being paid to move in and Homestead what a fortunate time to be alive.

I live a mile from the River Nene, and I am surrounded by layers of towns that were Roman and then Saxon and then sometimes even Viking. Some of the bits of bog iron I pick out of my flower beds may be slag from Roman iron works. Anyways I want to set a campaign imagining a Saxon conquest/settlement of the Nene valley and areas around the Fens. What would be useful to depict is Roman settlements north of London and south of Lincoln (Ermine Street or the A1 if you prefer), East Anglia, and a little bit to the left, say out to Warwick. Terrain depicted. Tribal areas. What do you think? I just found this @HierophantX... did you @Belgath ever collaborate on the map? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HierophantX Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Wow, that was a long time ago. But anything pre-covid seems really long ago. I never saw more from that conversation. When Loz asked Belgath for a pm I inferred there might be either a wave off or something because of projects overlapping *shrug* so, sorry to say, nothing ever came of it.

Belgath did indeed contribute to one of our projects: the system maps in 'A Gift from Shamash' were his work - and very good they are too. 2 Quote The Design Mechanism: Publishers of Mythras Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
