Telrhin Updates and Errata

It all ended in the mining town of Pitfife near the Copper Lake in the Cairn Hills. Grimly, as expected. The final showdown with Kleg Blacklung, the man who killed their grandfather, came down to the wire. Abas and Kleg took each other down, and though not dead the brothers were bleeding out and the last of the Rahmans standing was a henchwoman named Hissie. Not that Kleg had many men left, and some of them were still on fire: but either the brothers would die there on the floor or at best find themselves chained and battered on their way to execution.

Adventure Setup: The Rope Bridge Frying Pan

I wrote this as an adventure setup, in the style of a (long) event promo blurb:

The gorge looked a lot nicer when you weren’t running for your life. The sagging rope bridge bounces more than you’d like and you’re not making good time, what with all the loot you’re carrying.

A short stab at the world origin myth from the Lowlanders world view, which is one of many Westron variants of the Serpent Earth mythology.

Odom Tan is the 'great uncle', a folk figure who travels between the farms and towns, whose real identity as Tandim Ulgrasar is forgotten -- and unimportant -- to the rural Lowlanders.

Diagram of the Three Worlds: Prime (known world), the Embers, and the Listar (Spirit World). The Traum is its own reality, a greater embryo for the inception of the original Chimerums before the Diegesic Struggle and the Antedivisian world.

New region write-up for Rakshem: Khitagan and the Three Lands. This chunk of the world has been begging an overhaul to mark iv for a long time. Here's a teaser:

I just added a culture sidebar for the section on the Lark-Han citystate:

Somehow after five years the Rahman Brothers are still alive and the campaign is still going. It's been a grognard romp for the most part, full of murder and mayhem and -- as the brothers often explain -- "terrible misunderstandings."

Currently in the Borderlands of Wallendahr, faced with a freezing snow-drenched wilderness. Great old school stuff ahead: dragon, wizard(s), druids and a lich. I just hope they don't read the blog.

Again with the name changes! We're trying "Midsummer: the World of Telrhin". And this is the new intro on the home page that helps shape it:

Indago: Midsummer of a World

Chaos in the melding of the Twelve Lost Dreams gave way to the Great Dream, a gathered world of mythic and impossible things. It cracked and boiled out into new parts: the Second World of lost secrets, the Spirit World of ideas too large, and what remained was Terra.
