That would be great if/when you get the opportunity. Haunt of the Witch Queen (23.16) For three generations, the finest knights of Thring have quested to destroy the Witch Queen. Whether she belongs to a witch clan is not known, but it is said that it was she who roused the clans to bar Thring...

Daztur: That sounds like a great compromise. I've been eying a number of retroclones for which one would suit the Shrouded Lands best: I think Dark Dungeons, Labyrinth Lord or Basic Fantasy Role-Play are all strong candidates. Licensing Is now a good time to revive our discussion of whether we...

I'd forgotten all about the Lords Sanguine, and I've been wanting to find out what happened to unhappy Bergolast. It'll be interesting to see what you come up with. I think that's the main problem with a wiki - and the fact that it's slower to edit and harder to cut-and-paste large chunks...

Hi folks, I've been reading along during the last couple of weeks but not in a position to contribute - it's great to see the new developments! (I'm particularly liking the Witch Clans). I was interested to read your suggestions for languages, Daztur, but I think we shouldn't fill in details...

Orange gems, huh? Now where have we seen them before in connection to hot water ... Nice call back ;) Alright, I'm on holidays for the next two weeks so it might be a while till I can make another contribution. Here are the last two that I had stored up :) THE CROSS (02.11) Sailing on the...

It's also worth adding that you usually can't claim copyright over a name. People have been speaking about slaad and githyanki and so on being Wizards of the Coast's 'IP', but while they might be trademarks they're not copyright in and of themselves. (Even if they were trademarks, you'd still be...

THE WINNOWING (08.06, and presumably others) A traveller who wishes to make his or her way to the Sunless Sea should travel to the caverns stalked by the Destroying Angel. Here, the traveller must identify which of the river’s forks leads downwards; the others pool in stagnant lakes polluted...

Two more entries. Entry one is inspired by a post on Planet Algol. The Black Ziggurat (18.26) Rising out of the desert is a dark ziggurat, squat and horrid. The Dust Walkers will not travel here; they say that the monument appeared out of thin air six months ago. Others claim that the sand...

RITETHAL (18.03) This small village leaves its sheep to roam on the hills while the villagers gather around a lake to fish. When night falls, they blow a horn and the sheep shuffle back to the village. It is not just the sheep that are suggestible. Any who drink from the lake are inclined to...

Ah, excellent twist on the Sack Man - not what I was expecting, and a very interesting direction to take it. Two entries about elfloves. ELFARD GOLLEN'S STORY (Expansion to 25.04) On the rare occasions when Svetlana Verlime has time to sit around the fire with the Sundial Inn’s guests, Elfard...

I'm loving the Duchy of Thring! The seven laws in particular are very interesting, and it's good to see more to the Green Lady than simply her being goddess of the elves. The Missing Children of Millhaven (17.14) Inspired by the bugbear description in Dark Dungeons, Wikipedia's Bogeyman entry...

Hmm, you make a good point re: the fourth book and the rest of his work. I've heard it's quite a slog. I noticed that you added a Creative Commons licence (BY-NC-SA) to the collection. While you can certainly do that for your own contributions, it won't be valid for any parts of the setting...

Editing permission received - and the updates have been made. That's great news with the swag! I have enjoyed the first two novels. When I get access to a library, I'll definitely check out the third. I didn't find the second nearly as compelling as the first - which I raced through - so it's...

Titan's Rest (33.01) The valley that the Welt Road follows into Titan’s Skull is called Titan’s Rest. According to legend, the brother-sister of the Drinker of Iron – the Speaker to Bronze, who taught artifice to the dwarves – fell here and his-her bones turned to silver as they sunk into the...

Shaman/Spirit Shaman The Yakut shamans who each have a dangerous but powerful mother animal or 'yekyua'. A dog yekyua worries at its shaman, making him or her sick. Monk Friar Tuck (as a former ascetic who wrestles and fights with a quarterstaff) Favoured Soul Gandalf (an angel in human form...

I do like the idea of redoing the Great Setting Search, though. And it would be healthy for the new game to encourage lots of people to homebrew settings. We'd see a lot of playtesting, discussion and that sort of thing.

I've created one more variation on the hex map: a map of where I think the mountains, seas/oceans and the Kingswood start and end (Imageshack - shroudedlandsborders.jpg). Obviously, it's not canonical: people can fill in hexes however they like. But I was getting pretty confused trying to...

I was having some trouble picturing the placement of everything on the hex map, so I've mapped it. This is a one-time thing; I'm not planning to update it: No images: ImageShack® - Online Photo and Video Hosting Images: ImageShack® - Online Photo and Video Hosting Doing so led me to notice...

Hey Daztur, There's a statute of a bat-man-thing at Mirror Lake, which I thought might be a reference to the destroying angel at 07.06 (or could become such a reference, even if not intended). I've corrected all the other errors you pointed out. Is the Goddess of the Labyrinth (29.01)...
