[QUOTE="Daztur, post: 5912725, member: 55680"] Many thanks chutup, I used some of the Breadsley illustrations from Le Mort de Arthur for the Arthurian D&D project I was working on last year but some of the non-Arthur ones are great for the weirder and less-Arthurian vibe of the Shrouded Lands. I haven't made as much progress on the compilation as I want to, I just started up a new game of Diplomacy, been watching Game of Thrones, have report cards to write, stuff about bendable electrodes to edit and I keep on coming up with ideas for Shrouded Land stuff that I want to add in and that just adds to the backlog. Oh well, I've gotten a good chunk of the Kingswood entries re-formatted and edited so a new version of the compilation with those and the new posts SHOULD be up in another few days and then on to putting in art and fleshing out and expanding the appendix work that Sanglorian has been doing excellent work on. Oh, now that I'm thinking about that for vegetation we've got: -The berries that grow in the Barrier Range that the gnolls use for their rituals. -The poisonous plants in the Cloud Forest that the Smiling Men use. -The enchanting roses from the Gardens of Amelar that the kobolds use. -The hobgoblin shrooms. And here's two more hexes... [b]The Hermit of the Crag[/b] Hex 09.01 At the base of a tall crag is a small hermitage inhabited by an ancient mystic who spends much of his days meditating atop the crag while gazing down from his high perch. He has a reputation for great power and wisdom. Some time ago the Abbot of the Monastery of the Sainted Foot (20.04) rode in on lionback and paid the hermit a visit while journeying west to Fernsbank (01.09) so that he could see the power and wisdom of the hermit for himself. The hermit asked that the Abbot stable his lion in the hermitage’s cowshed and while he was doing so the Abbot talked of the lion’s glossy coat, its sharp claws and its marvelous obedience. The hermit’s skinny cow looked at the lion quizzically and the Abbot asked the hermit if the cow would be safe alongside the great beast, but the hermit only smiled. While sharing the hermit’s simple supper of greens and curds the Abbot spoke at length of his great deeds to the silent smiling hermit. At length the Abbot few frustrated for the hermit seemed to be nothing but the sort of simple minded old man that he could have seen by the dozen at home, but then a strange cry rent the night followed by a lion’s roar. The Abbot apologized for his lion, saying that the beasts of such men as himself have a power that is difficult to restrain and offered to pay for the hermit’s cow, but the old man stayed silent. The next morning, the frustrated Abbot when to the cowshed to get his lion and within the shed was strewn with bloody bones and standing over them was the cow chewing its cud contentedly. The Abbot walked the rest of the way to Fernsbank and learned a valuable lesson in humility. Hooks: -Why was the Abbot riding a lion? Just showing off his magical abilities to charm animals or something else? -Who else has gone to the hermit of the crag? [b]The Arch of Sod[/b] Hex 06.14 Here, at the edge of the wood where the dryads (05.14) now live is a great arch of sod held up over the ground by poles. Although the poles lean drunkenly and most of the grass has now died the brown stains of dried blood can be found by careful investigation under the arch. Obviously, this is the side where the ritual by which blood brothers are made was performed. Hooks: -Who made themselves blood brothers here? -Why does an arch of sod have to do with being blood brothers? [/QUOTE]
