One of the most heavily populated and consistently bothersome countries in the Wenigzustand is the kingdom of Lotharingia. The title itself is deceptive as the land has no king and hasn't had such a ruler in a number of decades. What Lotharingia does have, however, is an abundance of red dragons, fallen knights, and what … Continue reading Continental Excursions; Lotharingia

Various Updates for the end of June, 2019
Rather than do one humongous update on how the lands described herein have changed since "the Troublemakers" began to shake up the status quo in half a dozen countries, I decided to just update those places and people and link it all here with the power of hyperlinks. What an age to be alive. So … Continue reading Various Updates for the end of June, 2019
Pearls of Githarm
For centuries scholars and sages have puzzled over the occurrences of strange roses that spring up instantly, blossom, and then wither into nothing just as quickly. Inside the blooming rose is a pearl of perfect quality that has a more iridescent tone than a normal pearl would have. The arrival of these pearls is a … Continue reading Pearls of Githarm
Revised Firearms Details (Small Arms Edition)
There are a number of scattered references to primitive firearms in AD&D 2nd Edition. There are also a large number of nerdy types such as myself who have tried to bring all of this information together in some sort of cohesive and intelligible manner to make sense of it all. This is going to be … Continue reading Revised Firearms Details (Small Arms Edition)
Continental Excursions; Limbourg
Limbourg is a heavily embattled territory that has no governing authority and has for decades been a battleground for the orcs of Oublier in the south and the armies of Ange Déchu in the north. To the west is the country of Condamner, and they are perhaps an even worse neighbor than the orcs. In … Continue reading Continental Excursions; Limbourg
Continental Excursions; Escaut
Nestled between Vlaanderen to the west and Ange Déchu to the east, and northeast of Mort-Vivant and northwest of Condamner lies the deceptively idyllic country of Escaut. It has a good many things in common with Vlaanderen, but it has its own distinctive flavor and way of doing things. It is ruled by Count Emile … Continue reading Continental Excursions; Escaut
Continental Excursions; Vlaanderen
In the far northwestern corner of the Wenigzustand is the relatively calm and peaceful country of Vlaanderen. It lies northwest of everything, but borders Mort-Vivant to the southeast. Fanolania lies just across the Marruse River along the west and southwest, and to the north is the open Sea of the North. To the east is … Continue reading Continental Excursions; Vlaanderen

Of Sickles and Such
Women have perhaps always been the most effective assassins. This is largely due to them being constantly underestimated by men and overlooked as potential threats due to the fact that they are, well, not manly enough. This opens up a variety of avenues by which a clever woman skilled in disguise and possessing rogue abilities … Continue reading Of Sickles and Such
