Instead of Sithicus and the Shadowrift?
Posted: Mon Sep 29, 2008 12:47 pm
I am working on a Ravenloft reinvisioned of sorts (similar to the Ultimate Ravenloft or the Ravenloft Reorganized projects, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't take some ideas from them). But this isn't for a community project (though I'd be glad to share my changes) but is instead for a Ravenloft game I'd like to run in October (best month to start one).
To give you a basic idea, I will be sort of merging some "domains" into larger countries, with kind of a focus darklord and then demilords as it were. Not saying you have to agree with what I am doing, but to give you a basic idea.
Dementleiu: Country of Enlightenment - Only "Democracy" having a (though d'Honaire is really in charge) - Highest tech level
(all of the following are part of Dementleiu the country)
* Dementleiu - Major metropolotian area, art and reason are celebrated. Encourages open-mindedness, especially Port-a-Lucine (think Paris)
* Mordent - Smaller cities & countryside, very conservative, seeking to put faith back into their country, growing power base.
* Richlemont - Former capital before the democracy, was overpopulated and much of it was burned and damaged by the revolution. More like a slum now, though Jaqueline Reiner has been attempting to revive the area's former glory on her behalf.
* Lamordia - Most educated area in Dementleiu, home to the greatest minds and the least superstitious.
Ahem... I may have gotten a bit off topic.
That said, I don't want to replace too much of the existing layout of the core (partly because I'm bad with maps) I'm just sort of merging areas into new political borders.
But I want to remove the Shadowrift and Sithicus, both of which I feel aren't the flavor I want with my Ravenloft (though I will have a Faire realm, along with Sithicus being a ruined Eladrin nation inside it, so it's not going away completely).
Anyway, I'm not familar with the best of the fanmade domains, or even other official domains that might fit well into the surrounding geography/size of these two areas and would like suggestions, preferably something that would mesh with the nearby area (like intigrating Sithicus lands something else with Verbrek or Barovia and the Shadowrift with the Tempest area, keeping a similar feel).
Any suggestions, fan-made, BoS, or other domains that might be more obscure to fit in these spots?
