This is done. I've added a new section to every nation - Common Names.

Awesome work!

Hi David!  Just a quick recommendation that I'd love to see added.  A section for each nation that includes a list of common names that can be pulled from for generating NPCs on the fly. Thus the names woudl stick to the flavor of the nation.

Just a thought!

Happy Thanksgiving David!  Are the Falkir Clans considered part of the Rukemian Empire?  Also, you didn't mention Mercia in your breakdown of how the other Eastern Ithria nations might be involved with the war.

Perfect, thanks!

Thanks, I will. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't duplicating effort.

Regarding the Demon Wars.. Mechanically, how did summoning Draxorith the first time, lead to the Wars? Is he able to summon demon armies?

Organizations that are completely against the use of magic? Not really. None that I can think of.

Of course, you could always create such an organization if you need one for your campaign.

Good stuff David, thank you! 

Are there any established 'anti-magic' organizations?

Hi David, thanks for all your replies, on this and the other posts.  Regarding the road from Aridorn to Myranor, it's mentioned in the description for Waterford on the Kitar page:

"The main road from the Imperial capital city of Aridorn to Myranor crosses the Wild River at this location. The lord of Waterford is Corofen. During times of conflict with Duthelm, log palisades are erected, extra troops are stationed here and Waterford becomes a key staging point for patrols and raids."

I want to further flush out the background without getting completely buried. ON  Ithria who are the, say 5 most influencial Governments? Ones that would almost certainly get involved, or get petitioned to get involved, in a large war between Duthelm and Rukemia? 
I was thinking Drakellian Alliance, Cyrell, one of the Dwarven nations (Urmordia?) and Carrikos?  Or is the distances to large for them to care?

Should I keep it more "local" with War Vale, Ormek and Mercia an Carrikos?


trying to get a sense of scale of Ithria.. How does it compare in size to Europe for instance?

Sorry to keep pestering you David!  Have you defined any creation myths from the various cultures/religions?

In working on the political aspects of my campaign, I'm trying to determine wihich countries require imports from other countries.  The main nations pages list exports, but not imports.  I should be able to manually figure that out but wanted to make sure trade wasn't detailed somewhere I'm not seeing first.

SO here's the campaign seed I'm working on..

Queen Silar is working on a new plan for Duthelm to take over the Rukemian Empire.  This plot is two fold:

1) Force Kitar into revolting against the Empire.  This will seriously weaken the Empires front line with Duthelm.  She will do this by getting the Slave Lords to step up 'recruitment' and cruel treatment of slaves.  Slavery has always been frowned upon in Kitar.  This may push them to outright ban it which would definitely increase tensions with the Empire.  Silar may also sneak a spy into the King's Council (or someone very close to a Council Member) to help push things along.

2) In a twist on the Avisssar Campaign, Silar has discovered the location of Draxxorith's prison and is workign to free him (her agents will basically need to complete the same steps as outlined in the Avissar Campaign.) The PCs (assuming they're not working FOR Silas.. who knows?!)  would need to beat them to the punch to prevent this from happening.    If Silar can accomplish this, it would greatly strengthen her armies.

I'm not sure yet how the PCs will tie into this. 

Thoughts so far?

Also, David.. Quick question regarding travel times.. Why do you only list ship travel from Aridorn to Myranor? There's mention of a main road from Myranor to Aridorn that runs through the town of Waterford in Kitar.

Thanks guys.. I think Kitar is going to be fighting for it's independence... However, there may be other forces hidden in the background pushing them to war.  ;-)

So, I'm developing some ideas for a politically centered campaign.  I need (possibly loosely) allied nations that I can slowly turn against each other with a realistic central tension as the cause.   I was thinking maybe Duchies within the Rukemian Empire, possibly warring for independence.  If so, what would be their driving force?  What other governments would be a good match for this?

Hey David,

If you don't already have them, don't worry about it.  I can erase the names just as easy as you can.  Thought they might be handy for using on an online system like Roll20 where you don't want to reveal everything all at once.


Regarding the FOrum link, for whatever reason, none of my systems, with any browser, like loading the link as it currently points to index.php.. if I drop off the index.php and just go to khoras.net/chat (like the link on the site map page) it comes right up.

HI Dave!  Do you happen to have world maps without labels on them? I'd like to use them for a game I"m starting on roll20 but I'd like to be able to decide what I want to reveal to the players at any given time.

Also, FYI, the 'forums' link in the top menu bar is broken.

The high resolution anchor glyphs are online with the campaign notes now.

Thanks!
