A thread about a project i've been working on for a while now. It started out as a webzine with articles on different ways of interpreting forgotten realms canon, and now its morphed into a full blown alternative version of the Forgotten Realms that is almost exactly the same as the 1356 DR...

Well i've been gone for a while reading all of the Moonshae novels (not including 4e stuff) to get as many npcs and organisations and other lore details from canon as i possibly can. I've got placeholders for every island in various stages of development. Gwynneth, Alaron, Moray, and Norland...

Starting to detail the largest and most central of the islands - Gwynneth. Started with Corwell first, its as expected, a fairly rural kingdom with tribal roots. I've tried to develop the history to show how a tribal society became a kingdom and how that kingdom interacted with the imperial...

Norland geography and society detailed. Its a land of independent jarldoms that are occasionally united by a strong leader, but most often fight among themselves and raid the ffolk. The Norr (I decided to make the northmen of the Moonshae Isles into a sub racial group distinct from Illuskans...

Moray Island is reaching a stage that is usable as a campaign source. I've tried to keep Moray as traditionally tribal as possible to distinguish it from the likes of Callidyrr and Snowdown. Added in a few fan works from the candlekeep compendium because there really is almost no lore on this...

A new year a new project. I've decided to go back to the Moonshaes Isles and work on that some more. The Isle of Moray is up first https://alternaterealmsblog.wordpress.com/home/regions/sea-of-swords/moonshae-isles/isle-of-moray/ In this alternate version of the Moonshaes Isles the ffolk...

Been working on the Cult of Set, trying to make it a bit more interesting than just an evil cult in mulhorand. https://alternaterealmsblog.wordpress.com/home/organisations/the-cult-of-set/ I've got the cult established when Set was exiled in 1048 DR. It was mostly made up of his followers and...

Finished going through the major sources on Mulhorand, the main page and the organisations are in a fairly detailed position. https://alternaterealmsblog.wordpress.com/home/regions/the-old-empires/mulhorand/ I've redefined Mulhorand as operating almost like a nation state rather than a feudal...

I've been busy on Mulhorand lately, working a lot on all the various churches and gods, I've done this deliberately because Mulhorand is a theocracy and has a very important part in how Mulhorand exists so I need to figure out each individual piece before I can figure out the whole. The Church...

Added pages on Sebek and his cult, rather than have him as an always "ebil" outcast that gets eradicate by the armies of Mulhorand every few centuries, I've tried to turn him into a misguided brute that made some bad choices and fell victim to a curse that made him into the crocodile monster...

I think I've developed the Church of Ish-Tarri as much as I can. https://alternaterealmsblog.wordpress.com/home/organisations/the-church-of-ish-tarri/ I've included how the church gradually migrates to the worship of Isis (or is in progress of doing so). I've dealt with Ish-Tarri's absence and...

No new pages, mostly just reworking the old one. New links are in the first post (or below). I've added in about 20 more NPCs, fleshed out a few more of the skeletal pages, tried to cross link between organisations and settlements. Home Page Some of my own rules I've been working on ARRGS...

Okay, so Northern Wizards is next. I've decided on it being a new organisation commissioned by Hercubes Jedea to help Messemprar gain independence and thus create an additional city state in threskel to counter the rising threat of the vanities in mourktar (Hercubes predicts they will seize...

Added Ningal into the list of NPCs, and made her one of the children of the gods. She is a great grandchild of Nanna Sin (I named him Sin-An'na). Her abilities are of course inherited from her ancestor. The magic items she possesses come from another source (she claims a gift from the sea - a...

So I'm starting to detail the children of the god kings. I figure the first generation would be almost as powerful as the godkings themselves but most were killed off during wars and intrigue or Gilgeam assassins. The second and third generation are truly exceptional and very long lived. The...

I'm working on the cult of the old gods, based on some information provided by Tom Costa (hope he doesn't mind, I think I've renamed the city to something more Untheric). https://alternaterealmsblog.wordpress.com/home/organisations/the-cult-of-the-old-gods/ Its an amalgam of priests who...

After a very long break (had to do a work based certification), I'm back to working on this. I've been working on my version of the rules a fair bit https://alternaterealmsblog.wordpress.com/home/arrgs-rules/arrgs-classes/...

I have the base outline of Mulhorand available. https://alternaterealmsblog.wordpress.com/home/regions/the-old-empires/mulhorand/ I've tried to expand somewhat on the history and distinguish it from real world Egypt. The animal headed gods are now depicted as such because of the rise of...

I added a page about Spellweavers to try and tie in George Krashos' excellent article on Jergal Lord of the End of Everything with a few of my developing ideas about the origin of Untheric and Mulhorandi culture and a few stray quotes about a race that may have warred with the sarrukh long ago...

Added a page that will be the first of many pages on races of Toril beginning with Humans (Mulan and Turami) https://alternaterealmsblog.wordpress.com/races/humans/
