Ridow
April 1, 2018
This is about the underwater Earthmaster city of Ridow, and what follows is one possible description of the city.
The city has four airlocks and one is attached to the tunnel leading to Gyzem island. Once you enter you will see a very tall tower reaching up until it touches the very top of a shimmering translucent dome. The dome is circular, is over 1600’ high at the center, and laid out in the form of a spoked wheel with a bridge extending from the center of the tower to the dome wall. Below the bridges are large areas of land where animals wander about.
There is a lot of area to explore; onward and happy hunting.

Bastune House
June 25, 2017
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.

Ulmstane
June 12, 2017
Ulmstane village lies in eastern Chybisa on the banks of the Ulmerien River. Ulmstane holds the chapter house for the only Chybisan body of the Laranian fighting order, Lady of Paladins. The village is essentially a military outpost, rather than a traditional peasant village.
Written in 2003 and now available once more, this 18 page article complements the Lady of Paladins (qv) article by Kerry Mould.

Menema Regional Map
March 13, 2017
The Menema Regional Map bundle contains three files. These are a PNG image of a regional map of Menema in Hepekeria done in the same style as the Harn, Ivinia, Shorkyne, and Trierzon regional maps produced by Columbia Games. Also included is a Microsoft publisher file with the same image sized and tiled to be printed out on multiple A4 pages and stuck together to produce a regional map of the same scale as the originals. Finally, the package also includes an incomplete Menema index. This lists all the features on the map, but provides little information other than the title, nature, and grid reference for each feature. You will have to complete the content yourself.

Hârn Pottage III
November 12, 2016
Pottage III continues the fine tradition of bringing excellent supplementary material to the roleplaying community. While the places, people, and adventures contained in this volume are aimed at the world of Hârn, with very little work they could be used in any medieval fantasy campaign. Heck, with just a little more work, they could be used in ANY genre!
Included with artwork by the incomparable Richard Luschek and beautiful maps, the author has once again exceeded all expectations. These 40 pages are roleplaying gold…and free!
by Mike St-Pierre
As an added bonus, Joe McCallum has made coloured editions of some of the Keep (Fortified Manor House) that appears on pgs 2-5.
Sheluna Mountains
February 27, 2016
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.

Mejetus
October 18, 2015
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’.

Kustan Siolen
October 18, 2015
The Shawls of Kustan sit in an open valley through which the Scarlet Ribbon weaves to Kustan and are one of the least well known, but most impressive, wonders of Harn. Dozens of carefully, but mysteriously, arranged standing stones litter the landscape. Some are confined within ditch or bank enclosures; others form circles or rows or stand, lonely and alone, among the trees. Still others top, or circle, some of the many grass and scrub covered mounds raised across the valley. The valley is sacred to all Kubora and outsiders wander here at their peril.

Scarlet Ribbon
October 18, 2015
The Scarlet Ribbon was the principal artery linking the settlements of the western Corani Empire with its Peran frontier. It declined with the Empire and through the anarchy that followed. However, when Arlun the Barbarian brought order to the west, and founded the Kingdom of Rethem, it provided coherence to his dynastic ambitions. Now brave individualists and ambitious traders are the only ones to use it.
