Welcome To The Realms n the "Backgrounds of Faerûn" supplement, we focused on the human kingdoms. In each of these On the "Backgrounds of Faerûn" smaller supplements, we investigate groups of the The supplement "Backgrounds of Faerûn" is another title other races that inhabit the world. Thematically, written by myself on the Dungeon Master's Guild. It's they'll be grouped by family such as Dwarf, Elf, or intended to be a supplment for the human dominated Gnome. kingdoms of the realms and is otherwise the same as this book. It's not a books of racial specific backgrounds, as many I cities in the Forgotten Realms allow all sorts of different folks Each supplement will contain races both old and new, their from different backgrounds. equipment, their spells, and many other features for these If you don't own it, don't worry.

Instead of just having a "Halruaan "Backgrounds Of Faerûn" supplement.

As with the "Backgrounds Of Faerûn" supplement, the backgrounds for new races are intended to be mixed with another background or can be used as is.

As this supplement contains Page 10: 4e_MM_halflings by Wizards of the Coast no full backgrounds, you only need to replace your chosen background bond with the ones presented here. However as Backgrounds from the Backgrounds of Faerûn can be combined with existing backgrounds as well as the bonds presented here, we've reprinted the rules for combining backgrounds from the The Dwarven Kingdoms below. How To Combine Backgrounds Let's say you wanted to be an arctic dwarf but you wanted to combine the "Hunter On The Ice" background with the "Folk Hero" from the Player's Handbook. First, you would choose which of the two backgrounds you want to take the skill, tool and language proficiencies from. This is the background you also take your equipment from. Second, you choose which of the two backgrounds you want to take your feature from. Either the hunting dog companion from the arctic dwarf or the rustic hospitality that the folk hero enjoys. Lastly, you'll pick one trait, ideal, bond, and flaw, one each from either background table. For example, you could choose the folk hero trait and ideal, but use the arctic dwarf bond and flaw.

  • |Warhammer Fantasy: Empire of Man| |The Halflings of the Moot|
    |Warhammer Fantasy: Empire of Man| |The Halflings of The Moot| Straddling the River Aver between the borders of Averland and Stirland, there exists a stretch of rolling hills and near-endless fields of green grass and farmland. Mootland, or otherwise called ‘The Moot,’ is the home of the Halflings: Short, pot-bellied, chubby-faced humanoids that almost resemble the children of Man, and indeed seem to have existed alongside Mankind since the tribes first crossed the World’s Edge Mountains. None know where the Halflings originated from, and indeed even the Halflings themselves don’t seem to care one wit for their past. Likely, Ranald created them as some bizarre joke. But that’s neither here nor there. For all that the halflings appreciate the comforts of home - chief among them being food, alcohol, pipeweed, and the chance to skip out on a hard day’s work - life isn’t always so easy for the little folk. The Moot sits in an admittedly precarious position, for its easterly border is along the edge of Sylvania. That cursed land, ruled by the walking dead and the ever-duplicitous Mannfred von Carstein, is enough to make even a jolly old halfling grow serious and attentive. To Mootland’s south runs a spur of the World’s Edge Mountains, with its myriad tunnels and caverns hosting terrible beasties and monsters: Night goblin warbands, orc tribes, skaven scouting parties, and even trolls wishing to fill their bellies. And unfortunately, even amongst the states of the Empire, halflings experience their own share of prejudice and hatred from the Tall Folk.

  • Embracing the Took : Kinship Between Middle Earth and Sixties Youth
    WATKINS, SHANA, M.A. Embracing the Took: Kinship Between Middle Earth and Sixties Youth. (2007) Directed by Dr. Hephzibah Roskelly. 75 pp. The purpose of this thesis is to quash the reading of J.R.R. Tolkien’s works as allegory, especially as allegory for the events of the turbulent 1960s, i.e. the Vietnam War, 1967’s Summer of Love, the women’s liberation movement, etc. By addressing each of the Sixties’ infamous political and social movements, tragedies, victories, and controversies, this paper proves that the members of the Baby Boomer generation were inspired by the events described in Tolkien’s primary works, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Middle Earth’s events in the novels resounded throughout the Sixties, but were not actually about the Sixties, nor were they allegories of any previous decade, as some critics claim. Being a time of social unrest and demand for government and social revamping, the Sixties provided a particularly enthralled audience for the fantasy genre because it provided an alternative to mainstream literature. Sixties youth – part of which came to be known as the counterculture – demanded alternatives in nearly every facet of the American lifestyle, from the young rock-and-roll music genre to rebellious young celebrity idols like James Dean who contrasted Sixties parents’ idea of glamorous and wholesome movie stars whose film and television characters strove to acquire the materialistic American dream. This thesis discusses themes that Tolkien’s works and the Sixties had in common: namely, generational inheritance and rebellion; authority and isolation; social awakening; distrust and cynicism; reluctant and unlikely heroes; gender issues; activism; and hippie- ism.
