Henewes is a small hamlet of only eleven households in the heart of Nelafayn Hundred. Subordinate to Abriel Abbey, it is governed by the Reeve and is an important source of food for the abbey. Only eight years ago, Henewes was subordinate to Goffin but the previous lord deeded the hamlet to Abriel in return for a cherished place in Dolithor (the Laranian heaven). The current lord of Goffin still chaffs at this action by his departed parent.

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!

Ivinian legends and fables tell of the days when Sarajin walked the lands of Ivinia entering glorious battle with the monsters that ruled the land. Those that he did not slay either joined him, or fled to the far corners of the world. Some of these fled to the island of Hârn where they have remained hidden, hoping to avoid the Icy Lord’s gaze. This article details one such creature, strong enough to challenge, but not so strong that a group of experienced adventurers could not prevail against it.
Version update: improved artwork (June 2011)

The abbey at Abriel is surrounded by the rich agricultural lands of Nelafayn Hundred and is the seat of the Laranian Bishop of Nurez, as well as the Hundred’s Moot seat. The current bishop is a deeply spiritual and idealistic man, and his pacifist beliefs put him at odds with most of the Laranian clergy, including the Archbishop of Kaldor in Caleme but most especially the knights and officers of the Order of the Lady of Paladins.
The article contains extensive details of the abbey, its people and practices, as well as a mini-adventure, Bats in the Belfry.

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!

Save-K’norran rituals are not the most glamorous in the Libram of Pantheon. This single page article describes a house rule to make Save-K’norran priests more palatable to play.
But beware of the knowledge you seek. It could be your undoing.
As with all things, there is a price to pay; learning the rituals of other dieties is fraught with danger. Your character is only human, and may be seduced by the philosophies and outlook of those other dieties.

An adjunct to HārnManor, ThardaVilla allows the GM to develop a villa in the Thardic Republic where a patrician culture dominates. Throughout the article, a worked example is given, guiding the GM through some of the more esoteric parts.

The Sheluna Mountains region sits astride the Principalities of Hacherul in the west and Shelum in the east. The northern portion of Shelum merges with the Beshakan Desert with no clear border line, although the boundary of the Beshakan desert is generally considers to be the northern border of Suram Province. The most prominent feature of the area is the great Sheluna Volcano which rises 10,205′ above the arid sand dunes of the Beshakan desert. The mountain has a sinister reputation and is avoided by all but the most foolhardy. This map is done in the current Columbia Games Inc. style, and the package also contains a short (5 page) index of major features.
