Setting Reference

Sometime between 1996 and 1998 I played in a campaign that was set in a world modeled after Feist's setting for his novel Magician. I played a mage, using a house-modified version of AD&D 2e, who took an elemental dedication and an animal totem as I understand mages in Feist's world do. I have not read Feist's novels, however, and it is not my intent to replicate any part of his setting that is not detailed in Jonril or The Sunken Lands. I do intend to be faithful to those sources, however.

Languages

The first piece of setting information I needed for this exercise was a list of languages to determine the character's native tongue. I found this list of languages in the sources: Common, Demi-Humani, Dragon, Dwarvish, Elven, Giant, Keshian, King's Tongue, LaMutian, Natalese,Tongue of Evil, Quegan, Yabonese, and references to "language of the savages of the Sunken Lands" and "more obscure dialects of the Sunken Land
tribes."

Preparing

Once actual play begins, I'll be posting the progress of my solo AD&D game here. In the meantime, my preparations are detailed in the pages accessible in the sidebar links. Be forewarned, though, my progress will be slow. I am not, nor do I aspire to be, a writer. The posts here will come as this hobby slots into my many other hobbies and pursuits. I do not have a burning drive to write which might propel me to make progress. I hope that over time, however a useful nugget of knowledge will eventually accumulate. Cheers!

I woke up this morning and I got myself a beer

Well, yesterday morning Robern Tefalls got himself a beer after a night at Morrison's Roadhouse on the way from Carse to Jonril. This morning he ate himself the day-old loaf and wedge of cheese he had wrapped in oiled cloth and drank creek water mixed half and half with wine after he slept the night on the donkey blanket. He spent yesterday traveling the section of the well-worn track between Carse and Jonril just east of Morrison's Roadhouse. Robern understood it was a full, two-day walk to Jonril from there, with no other inns on the way, but a watch station at the crossing of the Wyndemeer West Branch. The small river is about half a day from Jonril, so presumably half a day from where he is now. I will distinguish for the reader three voices appearing in this chronicle as: The Referee's Voice The Player's Voice        The Inner Voice   Robern breaks camp after eating breakfast. He still has a quarter of the bottle of wine left, but that was all th...
