  • Bloodstone Lands Guide
    Age of Worms CAMPAIGN Players begin as residents of the seedy mining town of Diamond Lake where desperate folk toil in lightless depths for a pittance while corrupt mine managers live in largesse. The players will dare to seek a better life, and those who survive may find their travels taking them to dangerous and exotic locales, from ghost-haunted jungle cities to a blood-soaked gladiatorial arena to a tyrannical bandit kingdom. These are the lands of the fierce nomadic Uigan hordes, gnomes who live in fantastic towers perched on seas of ore-rich lava, and the spiritual barbarian elf tribes. These are the homes of dark robed wizards who draw power from the black moon that only they can see, to secretive clerics whose powers have only recently manifested and seen by many as dangerous sorcery, and to towering minotaur legions who live by the creed "might makes right." Whether one chooses to play the wizard who must carefully utter the language of magic knowing one botched syllable could mean death, or the enigmatic shape shifting high ogre hiding in plain sight amongst humans, or a tiger clan tamire elf barbarian steeped in ancient ritual and power drawn from his qouyai animal totems, know that true heroes of this world are few and far between and most often found only in story and legend. When desperate folks slave in dank tunnels to profit greedy masters, an opportunity for profit is an opportunity to escape. -- Tirra, elven adventurer How to Use this Guide: This guide provides information for making characters native to Diamond Lake and the continent of Taladas, in the year 352 AC (“After Cataclysm”) on the world of Krynn.

  • The Ruined Mine Office and Dwelling
    Setting: Taladas, Age of Worms adaptation, start year 352 AC. Map Placement: Replace Naissus with Diamond Lake (League Map, village in New Styrllia province, amidst Theos hills and east of Kert River), Magepoint is located on the other side of the Luminari lighthouse island. Manzorian is laying the foundation for the first Tower of High Sorcery in these lands. Alhaster is on the western coast of Northern Hosk, at the far end of a north- facing peninsula. The Rift is northeast in the vast wilderness of the lower panak. Kuluth-Mar can be placed anywhere in Neron’s jungles. Background: 2000 years ago: Kyuss was a mortal priest of Chemosh who, after being banished from the Aurim Empire for experiments on the dead in the mortuary city of Unaagh, took his hundreds of followers into the jungles of modern day Neron. There, he found the Kaia Jezulein, a cult of exiles from Aurim led by elemental wizards that drew their inspiration from the writings of Jezule the Nebbarite, a mad wizard who toyed with abandoning the mortal shell and becoming one with the elements. With tendencies to alter their forms with water and earth, the Kaia Jezulein were also known as “mud sorcerers.” Kyuss delved into the magical arts of transformation, seeking an immortal state, and gained more followers, eventually founding the jungle city of Kuluth-Mar and finding metal plates describing fragments of an apocalypse myth from a culture of six-armed spellweavers. As his followers found more plates, Kyuss became convinced he would be the herald of such Age, ascending to godhood as the prophecies described.
