Let us all be friends (and
gamers.).
Prelude
In the days before Hin recorded time, the Immortals
Night and Mother Earth were friends. And while other Immortals created races
single-handedly, Night and Mother Earth worked together on the creation of the
Halfling race.
Originally living on the southern continent Davania,
with only contacts with the elves there, they became a strong race.
After the Great Rain of Fire in 3000 BC the lands, climate
and whole environment changed and became more and more inhospitable.. The Hin
as the Halflings called themselves left their ancestral lands and homes and
moved north by ship.
Around 1300 BC the Hin came to the area that is now
the Five Shires. The cape where they landed they named Faerdinel Keep (Faer =
Hope, Dinel= haven in Lalor (Hin language)) The Hin see his as the beginning of
Hin history.
The Hin erected towers where they made Landfall (not
only Faerdinel Keep, but nearby too).And in the upcoming centuries, the Hin
slowly entered the rolling hills north, filled with riches and a race of
friendly pacifistic elves (the Gentle Folk. In these years they slowly
abandoned the keeps they erected earlier, as the Sea of Dread was far from stable and save in these decades due to
tectonic instability, and the Hin forgot most of them. And when the Gentle Folk
disappeared under Orcish and Human attacks the Early days of Hin-kind were at
an end.
Many Hin have searched for Faerdinel Keep but none
have actually found it, nor others. Great earthquakes which originally created
the Ierendi and Minrothad Islands were often still active, and in the centuries
the Hin explored the main land, the coastline disappeared beneath the waves,
altered, or became small islands.
Faerdinel and most other keeps collapsed and the
surrounding areas covered it completely. And while every Hin searched for a
cape on the Shire Shores, none came upon the idea that Faerdinel could be
further East and the others could be sunk or locked on the tiny islands.
Around 650 AC something happened. From the Thanagioth
Islands in the South arrived a young dragon. Gartax was its name. And it was as
Evil as it was smart and cunning. In the following centuries it became more and
more powerful. In 1001 AC Gartax changed into a Huge Dragon, and with it’s Omen
of Coming many earthquakes raked the land. And unknown to Gartax, this led to
the reopening of one of the sister keeps of Faerdinel. And while Gartax had
made its lair literally on top of this keep, he never knew about it. Although
he found some ruins, he never understood the importance of it to the Hin. In
these ruins he kept its treasure hoard. Just during it’s last Circle of Magic
he found a scroll tube speaking about some might and knowledge to be found in
the very same keep. So he puzzled and searched
Unknown to him Mother Earth and Night had reunited and
agreed it was time to reveal the Hin their ancient roots. Therefore they placed
knowledge and visions in the heads of several individuals they cherished They
also placed the scroll tube and hoped their plot would lead to what they
intended; A friendship, spread over day and night of all races together.
And indeed Gartax flew away to try to locate Faerdinel
keep, but even in it’s a recent Circle of Knowledge, it did not find what it
longed for. And when the Circle of Feeding started, on the hunt for a large
feral creature, it lost the Tube it held so dearly on the spot where both
Immortals had planned it.
Now all they had to do was wait, trusting that their
faint hints, and maybe a riddled hint later, were enough and see if all would
come as they had plotted.
And now it is up to You... Adventurers, DM's and Gamers.

Do you have a copy of the origonal adventure at all?
ReplyDeleteyes, as being the original writer, I still have some examples of the chapters and of the base writing and mao sketches(before completion) in storage, although damaged by water and mice, so it had to be restored.
DeleteBut the adventure is too much fun not to give it too you people.
so enjoy.
I'm interested in how the original game actually looked.. I collect old con game modules..
Deletei'll try and see if a can make a picture, but as said, the three chapters were badly damaged, as were the originals.
ReplyDeleteThis version you have here is near to equal to the original used in the championships, but restored, and slightly improved with maps, illustrations, and some expanded statistics....and text were obliterated, reinstalled.
