Located just north of the equator and forming the most easterly peninsula of the Lythian continent, Molkura is a mountainous wilderness of tropical rainforest cut through by vast rivers. It is dotted with ancient ruins of the Ziggurat Culture, rife with deadly endemic diseases, and home to many unfriendly practitioners of arcane arts. Known to foreigners as “The Weirding Land”, Molkura’s principle settlement is Kotyn, also known as the “Witch’s Lair”, on the banks of the Gelshi River.
This map is done in the current Columbia Games Inc style, and the package also contains a short (2 page) index of major settlements.

“They’re either nouveau riche parvenus trying to weasel their way into places they aren’t wanted, or they are scions of noble houses trying to cling to status they no longer deserve. Bloody uppity folk, either way.” Sir Asoborn Rintaren, talking about the gentry.
The Gentry long to return to the ranks of the nobility, and they carry attitudes and customs they think places them above their fellow free farmers, and well above the peasants. This article looks at these attitudes and more throughout Harn and western Lythia.

Bastune House is a fitting home for the appetites and ambitions of its chief resident, Lady Peresta Bastune. Whereas her husband, the Baron Greon Bastune, has been wenching and spending his way towards what is seemingly an inevitable downfall, Lady Peresta’s “legendary” infidelities, manage to further her ends. Her son Lyndar is purportedly not the product of her marriage to Greon Bastune, but rather of a liaison with the king’s bastard and Marshal of the Royal Guard, Koris Harabor. The Lady has all the makings of a compelling figure and NPC for any Kaldor campaign, and Bastune House provides an excellent platform for her, from which she can exercise all her charms.
Bastune House (Tahsal H3) is, first and foremost, an expression of the author’s simple desire to develop a floorplan for a townhouse in Tashal. It seemed like a good place to start. It’s big! — a little bigger than Caldeth’s house across the street and twice the size of Cheselyne’s house (Tashal H9).
Nevertheless, what is presented here is neither a detailed history of the house, nor a thorough description of its inhabitants. The house wasn’t built to fit into a particular campaign. As it developed, the floorplan suggested so many possible narratives that it seemed a shame to commit to just one. Numerous possibilities could be suggested, but let’s let the house speak for itself.

The ruins of Caer Mejetus are a monument to the hubris of one man, Emperor Mejenes of the Corani. He met his end here, not in battle, but from an infected wound. As the life seeped out of him he raged against his doctors, his priests, and the fates, for denying him his place in history. His failure left the fort to the Equani who used it to stage raids against the gargun of Yzug and the Urdu. Today it is occupied by the tribe’s war-cult, the Shevrach, and has a dark ritual purpose. They name it Brýnid Márw, the ‘Hill of Undying’, while the Urdu call it ‘The Haunt of Night’.

Suvist is a manor to the northeast of Heru in Kaldor. While the manor is prosperous, the acrimonious relationship between the lord of the manor, Sir Sterba, and his wife, Lady Kelenia, is stretching the manor’s resources to its limit.
This article is one of a series concerning the holdings of the Labarn clan in Kaldor. Maps by Jonathan Nicholas.

A poetic map of the barony of Pendeth. This is a hand drawn map covering the area of the barony of Pendeth. For those sites that belong to Pendeth the flags are turned to the right. Those flags turned to the left belong to other fiefs. There are some unlisted sites that cover small villages or sites of note. This map was for a game where the PC’s were using Pendeth as a base of operations.

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.

During the converstion from the original HârnMaster spell tome books to the consolidated HârnMaster 3 magic rules (published in HârnMaster Magic), a number of Neutral spells were left out for various reasons; usability, complexity, space considerations and so on. This download contains those spells from the Neutral tome that were left out. They have been modified to accord with the HM3 spell complexities and descriptions but otherwise unchanged.

This short (4 pp) article tries to shed some light on the performers that PCs might meet as they travel around the Harnic countryside. An acting troupe, a traveling circus, and a wandering minstrel are used as examples of “walking adventure hooks” for campaigns throughout Kethira.

This map pack contains a number of TIFF images of small villages and hamlets, including Beoran, Bilonin, Cundras, Evire, Fehin, Fezy, Fosumo, Himlet, Kedic, Kelime, Labret, Molon, Pouka, Purque, Racyn, Rythik, Saserus, Yael, and Zonun. The settlements are strung along the Nuem Trail in southern Melderyn, which eventually connects to Gythrun Castle. This is an area of Melderyn where the Solori tribesmen are active.
There is no text with the maps, just the low resolution images, so GMs will have supply their own information about each hamlet, its inhabitants and the surrounding lands.
