July 25, 2008
From fine tableware to lowly chamber pots, the potter’s wares are found in the homes of kings and peasants alike. This 12-page article takes a closer look at the potter’s craft as well as the structure and organization of the guild. Included is a two page section for use in creating a typical franchise which GMs can easily adapt to other guilds.
This is a perfect companion piece for Uthr’s Pottery, a guild franchise that is mapped out and described in the Lerenil settlement module. Illustrated with the fabulous work of two artists: Juha Makonnen and Matthias Fuchs.

July 24, 2008
This inn could be located just about anywhere at the discretion of the GM. The most logical place would be in a village located on a crossroads (with heavy traffic), in a large town or on the outskirts of a city. The inn could also be located in a wilderness area, half way between two major destinations.

July 23, 2008
Not certain of the distance between Coranan and Tashal? How about between Laket and Burzyn? How long does it take to get from Azadmere to the Naniom Bridge by foot? On horseback?
This document contains a set of simple tables designed to show you how long it takes to travel the major caravan routes of Hârn; the Salt Route, the Fur Road, the Silver Way, and Genin’s Trail. Assuming slightly poor weather conditions, the tables list the travel times by foot, horseback, wagon and cart. You can find out how long in days and how far in hexes, and kilometres, as well as average speed.
While they may not be absolutely accurate to the last minute or kilometre, the tables will provide GMs with a consistent set of travel times they can use to inform their player about how long a trip takes.

July 23, 2008
This article allows GMs of any medieval fantasy role-playing game generate family trees in those fictional societies. It is based entirely on available information for terrestrial mortality and fertility, either as measured before modern medicine or extrapolated from modern data. An excellent family tree is also included to serve as an example.

July 22, 2008
Getha is the largest village in Fethael Hundred. The seat and ancestral home of the Indama clan, this village also provides goods and services to Silver Way caravans and travelers. This article includes two inns and the Baronial Keep as mapped by George Kelln. The details of the village’s Halean temple are included as a separate file. The temple’s regular religious ceremony, the Shesneala, and the Temple’s Feast of Halane are also described. While the personalities and motivations in this article are specific to the temple in Getha, GMs should be able to “re-locate” the temple to other small towns on Hârn (especially eastern Hârn), without too much work.
Whether you are interested in a setting for a caravan as it travels the Silver Way, role-playing adventures at a small fair, or using Getha as a base for your Kaldoric Succession Crisis, this article will give you the scenario and background information that you need.

July 21, 2008
Fethael is a small hundred in Nephshire, Kaldor. Home to the Baron of Getha, this small village is a trading town on the edge of the vast, dark Kirsta Forest. This 16 pp. article contains a description of the history, economics, locations, and major personalities in this rural area. Designed from the top down as the backdrop for Joe Adams’ Knights of Kaldor campaign, the Hundred presents a GM with a rich inter-connected area as the setting for adventures or even a campaign. Included in this package is a short essay on the Indama clan. A small but possible integral part of a Kaldoran Succession Crisis, this family is well entrenched in the eastern part of the Kingdom.
