The article seems to imply that the Voice of Telos is Zhengyi returned. If you accept that then perhaps this is all part of the Witch-King's new plot to take over Vaasa and other lands in the name of Orcus... so welcome back to the good old days of Orcus, goat-headed cultists and humanoids!

;)

wow, i just re-read my post and i left out my *winking* smiley that i had meant to put in to indicate tongue-in-cheek attitude of the post and that made my whole post seem harsh

didn't mean anything negative toward the author, sorry Brian if it came out that way

Hehe. Glad you like it Misc. You created a great NPC with Lord Ivor "the Grinder" Chernin. I'm happy to see him "canonized" in Realmslore.

:does the happy dance:

Brian, that quote for Ivor was awesome! Much better than I could have come up with. I’ll be sneaking peaks at the article here at work, then read the rest at home. Thanks again! :D
The Sage Posted - 10 Apr 2010 : 02:02:14
Right. Now having read the article...

I like the expanded details on the Warlock Knights. And those Black Holes present a rather curious campaign opportunity.

Good stuff Brian!

I don't understand the alien reference myself.

Mind-Flayers are listed as not native to the Forgotten Realms...and so are Beholders and tons of others.

I dare say that the being worshiped in Vaasa could even be a new take on one of my favorite gaming pieces of work ever created: The College of Sorcery.

You can find some information about it here: http://home.flash.net/~brenfrow/dd1/cow.htm

In it, a "god" is thrown down out of the heavens to crash into the world.

As soon as I first read the new take on Vaasa I pulled out my Mathghamhna map and read up on it all.

I don't like where this is headed.

Oooo more goodies!
Brimstone Posted - 09 Apr 2010 : 03:50:43
Chessenta, huh? Cool I can't wait.

I thought something was wrong Sage.

Vaasa...

That Vaasa Maap is a Treasure.




The Sage Posted - 09 Apr 2010 : 01:36:17
This is nice. I've always had some limited interested in Vaasa, though mainly from the RAVENLOFT perspective. Unfortunately, I won't be able to download the article until tomorrow, so I'll have to read it then.
Brian R. James Posted - 08 Apr 2010 : 23:00:30
Thanks guys. That article was very fun to write, and damn that map is smokin. Mike Schley is a master cartographer.

Chessenta is coming up next.
