Lethyl is a prosperous, if slightly rustic, Laranian abbey dedicated to Saint Syrele. It is bordered by the dark Kirsta Forest on the northern border of Fethael Hundred. It is two and a half leagues from the town of Getha and the Silver Way. The little abbey has survived a number of assaults during Kaldor’s turbulent hostory, although the village has had to be rebuilt a number of times.

Gargun Edition
Friends, Foes & Followers is a GM resource that uses a common format for presenting 2 pages of information about a character. The characters can be used in any way the GM sees fit; likely NPC opponents, possibly helpers, or even as PCs for an atypical Harn campaign, making these resources no GM should be without. With excellent artwork by Richard Luschek, and masterful editing by Brent Bailey and Kerry Mould, this instalment contains:
- a cunning Gargu-viasal king who hunts Khuzdul with a passion
- a sadistic Gargu-hyeka king
- a brutal “religious” Gargu-hyeka king
- a voracious Gargu-araki queen
- a scheming Garg-hyeka queen with a powerful aid
- a rebellious Gargu-khanu amazon who leads her own “hive”
- a stalwart and honor-bound Gargu-kyani amazon
- a psychotic Gargu-viasal berzerker
- a Gargu-kyani “dog-whisperer” who prefers the company of his dogs to other gargun
- a successful Gargu-khanu gladiator of the Pamensani games
- a crafty Gargu-araki and brains of a familiar duo
- a hulking idiot of a Gargu-khanu and boom companion to an Araki
- a reclusive Fyvrian mage with unconvential plans for gargun
- a “civilized” Gargu-araki “son” of the Fyvrian mage
- a monstrous Gargu aberrant with a mysterious past and a tragic future
- 15 pages of character illustrations
- a companion four page article of magical gargun artifacts
FFF13 is intended to be part of Kerry Mould’s excellent FFF series. Therefore, an updated FFF index is provided, the headers have been set to match the color scheme, and a 15 page PDF with just character illustrations are provided for use.
Why gargun? My first answer is “Because it hasn’t been done yet!” The second answer is “13 seems an auspicious number for gargun.” When I was first introduced to Harn, I wasn’t impressed with some of the more traditional elemenets; elves, dwarves, and orcs. But over the years I’ve grown to appreciate the odious and vile species Harnians call “Foulspawn.” My intent is not to take up the cry of “Orcs are people, too!” but rather to present a unique cast of Gargun who rise above the common sword fodder. I hope to present execptional, or at least memorable, foes and possibly even “friends”, to inflict upon the inhabitants of Harn. I hope you enjoy!

This 12 page article expands and adds to the city entries for the second edition Coranan article from CGI. Coranan Additions provides new inhabitants of the city tying into the existing articles and offering many new adventure hooks including the Agrikan street war. With villages and layout by Brent Bailey, plus art by Richard Luschek, Coranan Additions is a must have for adventuring in Harn’s largest city.

This article describes the genealogy of each of the six Greatclans of the Kingdom of Chybisa. Each Greatclan has an individual two page article with text describing the history of the clan and its current members, a family tree showing up to the last 120 years of the clan’s history with intermarriages and the clan’s heraldry. The article is laid out such that when printed double sided the text describing the clan’s history will appear facing the clan’s family tree.
Greatclans of Chybisa continues the series of articles that details the most noble houses in each of the kingdoms on the island of Hârn.

This unofficial supplement for HârnMaster Gold contains rules for those GameMasters who wish to send their players into a modern-day Terran-like environment. This is a 43 page rulebook, containing rules for using all sorts of modern weapons and ballistic armours. There is also an extra five page module about black powder weapons.

What are the rocks that lie underneath all the kingdoms of Hârn? Why is there a salt mine at this particular location? Why is Lake Benath so big? This article attempts to reconcile the information from the maps and canon writings of HârnWorld with real-world geology. Sometimes that’s a difficult thing to do because Hârn is in fact too regular and too disparate at the same time.
With colourful maps and solid explanations, this is an invaluable aide to GMs and of interest to players. The Geology of Harn is a worthy edition to anyone’s collection.

As the title suggests, this has a bit of everything in it and flavoured with a little meat. It’s a mishmash of random buildings, places and things to be used on Hârn anywhere the GM feels appropriate. Although locations are given for a couple of pieces, these are optional and easily moved.
Also included are various arcane items for campaigns which use magic. The mini adventures/encounters included will hopefully help those GMs who have nothing prepared, or as filler for their PCs’ travels between major points in their present quest, but could be used as a starting off point for beginning characters.
The piece is excellently illustrated by Richard Luschek, and you already know Mike’s beautiful maps from his work on the Tashal module for CGI. Hârn Pottage is a must-have module. I’ll certainly be making use of it, and I hope there are many more Pottage modules to come in the future.

Update 2008-01-04: Hârn Pottage has been reviewed on RPGnet, and those thoughts are up for all the world to see. Jocelyn Robitaille gave the article top marks for style and only marked down substance by a single point because he doesn’t use (or even know) Hârn and couldn’t use the items described in it. Hmmm…I can see his point, but surely a bit of thought might provide him with some ideas as to how to use the items. Still, 9 out of 10 is a pretty good score. Well done Mike!

Finally, a comprehensive rule set for Harnmaster III Martial Arts. This is a derivative piece pulling together rules found both in core rulebook and from others in the community with some flavour text and additional details added to fill out the system. Hopefully, readers may find it useful.

Dedicated GMs will consider this an invaluable reference; it lists all manors within the kingdoms on the island of Hârn. Each kingdom has been given its own spreadsheet, and the manors are listed in alphabetic order within that page.

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.
