Hefiosa
September 20, 2008
The Hefiosa region lies in the heart of the Thardic Republic. It is a rugged and dangerous place rarely penetrated by Tharda’s citizens. It’s the source of the fanosel that blights the urban poor, and the home of bandits that prey on every Thardic route. Military careers have been built or ruined in expeditions against the Hefiosans - the old Empire itself was nearly broken by those indomitable people. And there are dangers in the Hefiosa beyond its irascible goatherds, such as the majestic and nearly invulnerable Khora Ram.
This article provides:
- a detailed map of the northern Hefiosa, including the deeply scarred landscape north and east of Imrium.
- a players’ map of the entire region
- sections on the topography and ecology of the Hefiosa
- descriptions of the Hefiosan people, including economics and folkways
- descriptions of major personalities among the Hefiosans, and among the Thardic captains assigned to patrol its environs
- a variety of plot hooks.

HârnTown
September 3, 2008
An adjunct to HârnManor, this 4pp PDF deals with the development of a town in the same way that HârnManor deals with the development of a manor. Written by the same author that brought you IviniaThran, HârnTown is a useful tool for the GM to create a town that are believable and fairly consistent. Like that article, this one was also on HarnMaster.net and has been formatted anew.

September 3, 2008
An adjunct to HârnManor, IviniaThran allows the GM to develop a thran in the lands where the Ivinian culture dominates, including Orbaal, Harbaal, and perhaps even the more remote, more conservative areas of Chelemby. Throughout the article, a worked example is given, guiding the GM through some of the more escoteric parts. This example is included in an Excel spreadsheet, which GMs can use to work their own creations. Written by the same author who brought you HârnTown, and once on HârnMaster.net, the article has been reformatted for life on Lythia.com, although the text hasn’t changed in any important way.

Caer Menekai is a 16 page article detailing the home of the Order of the Red Shadows in north-eastern Rethem. The PDF includes a common map of the town beyond the walls of Caer Menekai and of the Red Shadow’s mighty fortress. The local population was generated using Harn Settlement. Maps have been improved by macgorgor.
For those of you who would like to obtain the original .FCW maps, as well as a 600dpi resolution copy of the Menekai Local Map, please click here (downloaded 944 times).

September 2, 2008
HârnSettlement seeks to take the concepts pioneered by the many manor generators, in particular ‘newmanor’ by Rebecca Downey and extend them to build towns as well as manors. This spreadsheet will treat settlements without a keep or castle broadly as in HârnManor, but the presence of a keep or castle will lead it to produce a ‘Town’ (or urban) population to supplement the usual ‘Manorial’ (rural) population. Some of ‘Hârntown’ by Johnathan Nicholas has been used as the basis of the ‘town’ components, though the proportion of urban households is based on the original canon proportions and no distinction is drawn between inland and coastal towns. This spreadsheet also doesn’t deal any differently with Orbaalese settlements (unlike ‘Hârntown’).

September 1, 2008
Founded by Kaldorans after the Treasure War in 678TR, Saint Angryl’s Temple lies in the wide valley of the Ulmerien River, almost a league south of Burzyn castle. This Peonian establishment is extremely poor, even for a Peonian temple, because of its tenuous association with the Peonian Church in Kaldor.
