My beginnings of a page for Entropy. He is listed as an NPC and not a god because he has not yet attained the level of power to make him a demigod or true god and it serves to show that anyone can establish a church and gain worshippers before they attain godhood...

Added in a loose tie that E-Nlil once embraced Ass-Uraqn as a brother and Ass-Uraqn was widely believed to be next in line to succeed E-Nlil should the worst happen. However Ass-Uraqn didn't want to be ruler and when the worst did happen he never pressed his claim. Thus he was really miffed...

So I changed Isimud to E-Simud and made him the last son of E-Nlil (being the son of a divine being he gets an incredibly long life). Created a new magic artefact known as the Cowl of Eyes which allows him to see through all kinds of illusions and scry far off places and generally be a divining...

Added a page containing magic items. Also added an explanation as to why the history of Unther in canon sources is slightly different to mine. The Geamesq-Samata (The Epic of Gil-Geamesq), also known as the false history of Unther. It is a continuous work produced by the government of Unther...

Did a bit of restructuring to tidy things up and make the menus easier to construct for me. There are now drop downs at the top of each page. New URLs below https://alternaterealmsblog.wordpress.com/home/arrgs-rules/arrgs-classes/...

Since I'm adding so many magic items now I thought I had best quantify the rules I am using to create such magic items. Each magical power has its own number of uses. range. and activation method. Magic items are also now very very expensive to create but that is deliberate - commoners earn sp...

https://alternaterealmsblog.wordpress.com/the-church-of-the-all-father/ Finished an outline of the Church of Gil-Geamesq, I've tried to explain away how Zimrilim manages to keep hold of power when Gil-Geamesq in unpredictable and his underlings are all as ambitious and amoral as himself (he...

Updated Unther quite a bit. Detailed the Uthangol Mountains and added in an old fortress from the time of the First Empire. I've made the Iron Citadel (in the Uthangol Mountains) the headquarters for a sauroid race known as the Gaund. These Gaund were once sarrukh of Okoth but like many clans...

Added a page on Maladraedior as he is quite an important player in Unther https://alternaterealmsblog.wordpress.com/maladraedior/ He lives in an ancient dwarven chamber that prevents the Smoking Mountains from erupting violently. He has a number of magical artefacts and magic rituals at his...

After a short break for Christmas I'm back and working on Gil-Geamesq. Here is what I have so far. He's the same awful lunatic as before but now with added depravity. https://alternaterealmsblog.wordpress.com/gil-geamesq/

Meiandringolousaert is taking shape now. Decided on her history and her lair and adding some flavour to it as well as some motivations and quirks. Need to work on her magic and deeds and her ultimate fate (which is to die) https://alternaterealmsblog.wordpress.com/meiandringous/

Given the Wandering Wyrm a name; Meiandringous. I'm gonna do a wyrms of the north style writeup (which I will probably do for all important npcs). I figure she was once one of the dragon overlords of the shining south in the days after the Illythiir cleared the forests with fire and before the...

Well the next page im working on is Messemprar. Trying to detail it as it was during the riots at the moment. The bulk of work i have done is in Unther at the moment with a page on Raurin as well as that was the proto mulan nation for a century or so. If you have any thoughts or suggestions then...

Found a lovely bit of lore in the Westgate dynasties about King Ashtukzu I of the Mulan Dynasty. He was meant to conquer Westgate for Unther in -27 DR, but instead crowned himself King of Westgate. He deposed the reigning King Ryndarth II "the Masque King" as a doppelganger. Well I checked Ed...

I think I'm mostly done with Raurin for the time being. The skeleton is there for me to build on for the history of Mulhorand and Durpar and Imaskari successors. Onto Chessenta or Mulhorand next

Okay so the Imaskaroloth is drawn to the Stars of Mo-Pelar. It knows they bind it to Raurin and can sense them when they are above ground or outside concentrations of magic. It can't destroy them (can only drain non permanent magic) but it can keep them and hopefully find a means of destroying...

Mostly finished the story of Raurin, broken it up into distinct ages. Imaskar Raurin Empire Imaskari Successor States Desert Got the Imaskaroloth as the big bad. Madryoch the Ebon Flame, aka Martek, aka Ambuchar Devayam, aka Tan Chin as the secret big bad manipulating everything. The...

Got a beginning of a page about Raurin So far just working in some lore from Encyclopedia Magica and from Elminster's Ecologies with the Desert of Desolation module. I'm pretty much decided that Martek is actually evil but his legend has been confused and he is actually somebody very ancient...

Wondering how a sage from an insular place like Unther knows about Myth Unnohyr in Calimshan. Vulmikka of Unther, known as “The Dark Sister” is one of only two sages that knows anything about Myth Unnohyr. Myth Unnohyr is a mythal city of Keltormir (a nation of elves fell during the Crown...

Expanded a bit on the Methwood and the elven presence in the Old Empires before Imaskar. It's detailed on the Unther page https://alternaterealmsblog.wordpress.com/unther/ Created a new elven realm (tentatively named Enyllstaar) which is documented as being home to dark skinned elves...
