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.

First published in 1983, Hârn is one of the most detailed fantasy worlds ever created and we are proud to be your gateway to its small but thriving worldwide fan community. So come on in and join the fun.

And don't forget to check out HârnLink for other Hârn websites on the Internet! But our primary purpose is to freely share fan-written material set in HârnWorld, although much of this material could be adapted for use in any fantasy roleplaying setting.

This entry is part 2 of 2 in the series What-if: Kaldoran Port

The Case for a Kaldoran Ocean Port

This entry is part 1 of 2 in the series What-if: Kaldoran Port

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    (3 Responses)

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.
