[QUOTE="chutup, post: 5847895, member: 6690844"] OK, here's a revised version of the Winterjarl: [B]The Cave of the Winterjarl (14.00) [/B]This heavily forested and mountainous area is home to a power sapient bear, one of the mighty [URL="http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?617479-Sapient-Bears-a-Nordligbj%F6rn-class-for-Adventurer-Conquer-King"]Nordanbjorn[/URL]. This [I]bjornajarl[/I], Thorek Ironhide, dwells in a cave halfway up the mountain with his [I]sleuth [/I]of lesser bears. The nordanbjorn have few material posessions and no knowledge of technology; however, they have a rich oral culture and their epic sagas recount events that may have occurred many centuries ago. One of Thorek Ironhide's subordinates is an old bear-bard named One-Eyed Kevanjr, who is said to be able to recite in their entirety seven sagas of seven days' duration each. The [I]bjornajarl [/I]does not spend much time in his cave, for he is usually roaming the lands of his [I]marche[/I], an area deemed to be under his protection. This [I]marche [/I]extends to the following hexes: 12.01,13.00, 13.01, 14.00, 14.01, 15.01, 14.02. Within these hexes, monsters are much less prevalent, but instead it is possible to meet the Winterjarl or some other bears. Any attempt to disrupt the peace of the [I]marche [/I]is dealt with harshly. The people who live in the [I]marche [/I]have no choice in the matter, but most of them greatly respent Ironhide for bringing peace to their lands. The Zoar Rajak of hex 11.01 feel differently. They believe that Ironhide is responsible for the blight upon their oak trees, that he is dabbling with foul sorceries from an accursed cave high up on his mountain. Meticulous explorers will discover that there is indeed a cave from which eerie lights issue on cloudy nights; but this cave is [I]higher [/I]than the one where the nordanbjorn traditionally dwell. Thorek Ironhide scoffs at the goblins' accusations and denies even the existence of the upper cave. Hooks: - Who lives in the [I]marche[/I], and what is their relationship to the [I]bjornajarl[/I]? - What is the truth behind the dispute between the goblins and the bears? - What's in the accursed cave, and is Thorek responsible for it? - Where else have the nordanbjorn established themselves in this world?
