An entry from the Khanesian Gazetteer The Hollow Hills: Often invoked to scare children into obedience, even grown men refuse to visit the greenless mounds of gray earth which is the Hollow Hills. It is a place of many grotesque tales, and strangely, it is known that children always have...

Four entries from the Khanesian Gazetteer Aerlond (Large City, 13,984): Once known as Armoth-Tur, it became Aerlond (meaning freedom in ancient hafling) when the haflings rebelled against their masters during the collapse of the Mardukian empire. Haflings from across Mardukia joined their kin...

Well, I don't know. The entire point is to show that the gods have abandoned the people of Khanesh by not letting the clerics receive spells. It would defeat the purpose of the campaign-hook. But the idea is still good though, just not in this campaign. I appreciate that you like my world. I...

Say the wizard is scorched by a powerful fireball, what happens to his spellbook? I ask because in reading Magic of Faerun I came across the section on spellbooks, protecting it, trapping it etc. Then I suddenly realized that in our campaign we treat a spellbook as though it is either: 1)...

Khanesian Lore: The War of Fiends In 154 M.R., the ecliptean priest-king Dachan II fell in battle against the heretics of Syth Spire. His successor as priest-king was the high-priest of Corsentius known as Devhorian. During the inauguration ceremony in Bel-Marduk, Devhorian vowed to avenge...

Joy Division, the Smiths, with the Cure and New Order sharing a third place. There were far less horrible music posted than I would expect, considering that most people who frequent ENWorld are Americans. You are obviously a good bunch!

(Magic in Khanesh) The components of magic (somatic, verbal, material, focus, and divine focus) are collectively known as the Language of Magic, often refered to simply as the Language. Spells are called Words of Magic, refered to simply as Words. A spellcaster uses the Language in such a way...

I am aware that it would be harder for the players to heal themselves if the cleric class was removed. There are still the bard and druid classes, both with the ability to heal. Despite this I'm still thinking about using the thaumaturge from Armies of the Abyss. Or perhaps allow the cleric to...

There are no clerics in Khanesh. However, there are individuals able to draw upon the sparks of divinity in their very souls. SPARK OF DIVINITY [Soul] Your soul contains a small spark of divinity from which you can draw divine energy. Prerequisite: Wisdom 10+. Benefit: Select...

They are still missing, no one knows what has happened to the gods or where they are. Khanesh was composed of great theocratic empires, the Divine Silence spelled disaster for them all. Another important consequence of the Divine Silence was the planar-isolation of Khanesh. Magic that deals with...

An entry from the Khanesian Gazetteer The Grieving Forest: Before the Divine Silence, this forest was called Myrewood. It was home to the elves who tended and protected the forest alongside their fey allies. Elven druids used their magic to enchant the trees so that they grew quicker, lest the...

In my home-brewed campaign the gods have withdrawn from mortal affairs, without any explanation. The campaign-world, Khanesh, was made up of great theocratic empires. For each empire the loss of the gods has been devastating. The clergy can no longer communicate with their gods, nor receive...

Holy cow, those are some beautiful maps! How did you make them?

This campaign-world strikes me as excellent, you have obviously put a lot of work and effort into it, and it shows.

After the Divine Silence, a withering spiritual emptiness marred the minds of the Khanesian people. The elves were convinced that some fault of their own drove the gods to silence and were thus driven nearly insane by grief and guilt. Few elves had strength to carry on after the cataclysm, most...

Might be a strange location from the excellent TV-show "Twin Peaks". It aired in America during the late eighties\early nineties. Being the work of director David Lynch (Blue Velvet, Wild at Heart, Mulholland Drive), the show was hailed as an ingenious masterpiece by critics. Highly, highly...

Aerlond (Large City, 13,984): Once known as Armoth-Tur, it became Aerlond (meaning freedom in ancient hafling) when the haflings rebelled against their masters during the collapse of the Mardukian empire. Haflings from across Mardukia joined their kin in proclaiming Aerlond on the ruins of old...

I'm taking a break from lurking because I want to give you praise for your work on Armies of the Abyss. Having only recently bought it, I found it to be a perfect accessory to my campaign. The demons (nobles, princes, and "commoners" alike) are excellent; both creative and inspiring. Just to...

Creepy, very creppy. The picture would do nicely in the room of a child :p

The Forest of White Shadows, located north of Ecliptea, is one of the most dangerous forests in the Broken Lands. Ever since the War of Fiends, the forest has been a sanctuary for devils and demons alike. The fiends have brought the eternal conflict between their respective races with them to...
