Welcome to HârnWorld!
Hârn is a mist-shrouded island lying off the western coast of the continent of Lýthia, and legend has it populated by savage beasts, barbaric tribesmen, and mysterious wizards.

The Case for a Kaldoran Ocean Port
by Leitchy (15 Responses)What are the advantages of a port controlled by Kaldor that can take ocean-going vessels? There are lots, not least of which is maintaining Tashal’s pre-eminence as the commercial hub of Hârn, and filling the coffers of the Kingdom of Kaldor in the process. We examine the case for a port, and link to the original Port of Kaldor article.
Tahnaryn: The Black Magic of Kethira
by Ken (One Response)Tahnarism is the ability to manipulate a portion of the Anti-Principle (the “force” present in Bukrai) to accomplish tasks similar to the ways a Shek-P’var manipulates elementary Principle to accomplish his goals. It is an attempt to introduce necromantic magic into Hârn that does not rely on the Morgathian Church and its pre-occupation with death.
