Lord High Munchkin Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 OK, trying to put together a Fonritian character generation proceedure and recent history for my players. Obviously, if anyone has an already assembled timeline it would help (I don't want to reinvent the wheel) - otherwise I am going to collect one together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hkokko Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 https://notesfrompavis.blog/2017/04/15/fonrit-background-and-culture-for-players/ In addition to this I have made a background history generator for Fonrit that generates a short history for your family line using timelines and events from GtG and other sources. the histories are inlikely to repeat so they can be used also for major NPCs.The histories can be used as a starting point. i will post examples when I get back to my computer. This is not yet published as it is running in ruby on my Mac. I have also created with campaign-logger description generators for Fonritans. I will post some examples later. In addition to this encounter generator creates pregens for Fonritans that can likely be modded to RQG with some handwaving https://notesfrompavis.blog/2017/04/14/pregenerated-characters-for-fonrit/ Will gladly compare notes... 1 Quote My Glorantha/Mythras blog with Glorantha Cult One-pagers and Mythras Encounter Tool updates and Mythras GM Charts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davecake Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 I have a timeline for all dated events in Pamaltela, and for the Third age these tend to be more often Fonrit and its neighbours. I think this is every event from the Guide with a year attached though I may have missed some. This is just the Third Age portion of it, as that seemed relevant. Hannu seems to have a few events on his timeline I do not - are these from a particular source, or did you just invent them, Hannu? 1150 start of Wemma Empire rule of Baruling and Western Banamba ~1200 Kresh start to appear 1202 Pure Doctrine Freedomists return to Kareeshtu 1207 Womens Revolt begins in Yelertu 1237 Elassi the Stifler joins the Cult of Silence, and turns it into a debased military conquest movement, establishes Empire of the Silenced. 1290 Jann of Sarro controls Afadjann, begins expansion against Cult of Silence in Vralos. Conquers Nemabu. 1300 tsanyo movement begins in Koro Salofar 1313 last of the lands of the Silenced fall to the Clamorers. 1319 Yranian Leapers attack Afadjann, blues revolt 1319 Sarro Empire defeated by Yranian Leapers 1320-1325 Yranian leapers threaten Afadjann 1322-1331 Yranian Leapers invade Vralos 1331 Yranian leapers are forced to “pay off their debt”, decline politically 1331 Nemabu and other cities conquered by Leapers regain independence 1340 Season Wars between Fonrit and elves of Umathela begin 1350 Wemma Empire collapses in civil war 1399 Sedalpist School established by Malkioni scholars. 1411 Empire of Kresh formally established. 1458 Season Wars end 1458 Immortals of Arawan leave their tomb temple to defeat threatening elves and barbarians 1472 Prophecies of Acac the Reviver, chaos prophet, surface in Fonrit. 1478 Tortrica rebels - last Fonrit holding in Umathela lost 1490 Garguna conquers Abdjab 1518 Ruler of Hombori Tondo re-enacts deeds of Garangordos, controls Darleester the Noose, becomes Jann of Afadjann. Since then, Jann is always ruler of Hombori Tondo. 1518 Afadjann conquers Garguna 1550 Kresh begin moving into Jolar 1585 After the Opening, Vadeli return to Fonrit 1586 Vadeli establish city of Hadrumal in Umathela to exploit silver mines 1587 Vadeli conquer Kareeshtu 1594 Vadeli defeated. 1594 Dynast unites Flanch ~1600 Nikosdros establishes naval dominance over Umathela 1601 dwarves of Slon attack the cost of Enkloso 1613 Astamanxyx begin rebellion that ends in him becoming Jann of Afadjann. 1613 Kareeshtu brings new Jann of Afadjann to power. 1613 Pujaleg Empire first established. 1613 Pujaleg conquer cities of Dreen, Palramanttenbara, Princes of Tharkrar defeated at Battle of Juguyiri 1613 Kresh wagons begin to disappear 1616 Kresh wagon turned back by Arbennan Confederation in western Zamokil at Battle of Wagons Turned 1618 Terthinus the Voice of the Deep proclaims the Laws of the Dashomo, and devastates Flaurine. 1622 Harrek the Berserk conquers Banamba in Laskal, leaves to return to Genertela. 1631 Harrek returns to Laskal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hkokko Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 If I recall correctly the events come from common uncommon rare events added adjusted by random city from area. The first part after sibling category is my ’creation’ . They are left sometimes at murky level for player to decide which dide his relative was on and what was the particular deed in detail that he participated in. This has been used creatively by players so far... 2 Quote My Glorantha/Mythras blog with Glorantha Cult One-pagers and Mythras Encounter Tool updates and Mythras GM Charts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hkokko Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 I think my list is supposed to have all these but it is on purpose randomized what comes up for esch generation. Have to reverify against Dave’s list. I will make my random gen available in some form eventually.... currently it is not ’productized’ and bloody ugly run script from rubymine at local computer Quote My Glorantha/Mythras blog with Glorantha Cult One-pagers and Mythras Encounter Tool updates and Mythras GM Charts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord High Munchkin Posted November 29, 2018 Author Share Posted November 29, 2018 I think what I'm more interested in is using an intermediate level event structure - more like the 'Regional Activity Table' (p. 555 GtG2), but slightly more wide-scale, to give more appropriate events. Looking at the timetable that Dave kindly gives is that it's too "all over the place" - background events for Fronritian are more localised and pretty urban in scope. There are huge region-spanning events (usually involving the Vadeli somehow), but they are unusual. It's the "middle" sized polities and cultural areas that I think need to be focussed on (as equivalents to 'Grazelands', 'Sartar', or Old Trash' etc.).
