Dwarf Home is a few days away. It was the home of the Dwarf King, but it was invaded many years ago and the Dwarves fled or died.

The city is a city of exile.

Adventurers are told of the ruins below ground. They can keep any treasures they find, with the exceptioon of certain Heirloom items, which must be turned over to the Dwarves in Dwarfbas. The Hill Dwarves nearer Dwarf Home are looking for these same Heirloom items.

Since I have moved Dwarfbas over to the Sea of Ghanuu, Seaport part of the map has been added.

Most of the game sessions I ran occurred in this area.

Many of the ‘watch towers’ in my campaign, particularly in the Trillolara and Dank Forest nations, are based on the ‘Frontier Forts of Kelnore’ maps from Judges Guild. These are basically rectangular forts, with small towerettes near each corner. Barely qualify as keeps… Open courtyard, wooden gate, a small living area on one side of the courtyard and part of the wall. A small basement, with 3 small areas and one larger area. Not easy to defend. What is a towerette? A small tower, barely large enough to qualify as a tower.

More of a widened area of the wall walk, with crenelations and machiolations. Most are in ruins, and are no longer in use. Most towerettes can hold one or two people. Small round towers came into use a number of game years later, and are stronger and more easily defendable. Probably early Age 11 was when these forts were last seriously used, but a few remain in active use here and there.

One group of player characters found some folks suspended in time in the basement of one… Merlin the Magician and Jirel of Joiry being one group of those so trapped there. These are called Dtrig Forts in my campaign.

(I got the information for these characters from Dragon magazine articles called ‘Giants in the Earth’. This would be in issues earlier than issue 100.)

Such a small nation, to have so much influence in the Southern Hemisphere… Maybe they have friends in high places ? Sky-god indeed… :-) Nope, not the referee !
