Previous: Gurutama Timeline Revising Part 11

This post is all about the initial backlash the dwarves suffer for the curse they laid upon the Bwarlor. The initial descriptions went into a lot of detail about the new subrace of dwarves born from Human parents. I’ve removed as much as I could while attempting to preserve the core of the new culture within the timeline. Also, there’s some not nice words in this post, just to warn you.

I plan to write more about each race and subrace in the future. The information on the culture of the Bwaloran Dwarves will be moved out of the timeline and into that section.

346 NA: For many years dwarf-children were slaughtered by the Bwarlor, their deaths meant to purge the wombs of Bwarloran women. As the years passed the killings slowed and the dwarf-children found a place within Bwarloran society. A horrifying existence, forever a second class, beaten and abused by their own parents. Hatred grew in the hearts of these dwarves, not for their abusers but for those who cursed them. Guided by the passion of the humans and tempered by towering hatred for dwarvenkind, the Bwarloran Dwarves formed an order, the Bastards of the Tattered Book.

The guiding mantra of the Bastards of the Tattered Book is, “We are bastards left on another’s door step.” Abandoned by the Metal Dwarves that cursed them they now intend to destroy the Metal Dwarves, tear up the Books of Prophecy, and become the true DWARF. They are the servant rebelling against their master, creation destroying their creators, sons killing their cruel fathers. They are the Bastards of the Tattered Book, and dammit, they mean business.

349 NA: The merfolk took notice of the curse now that the first Bwarloran Dwarves had reached adulthood. The merfolk offered to help ship the dwarves born to the humans to the Dwarven Kingdom. The Bastards quickly rejected the notion that they wished to be reunited with their “original families.” The merfolk seers, still unsatisfied, looked to Drolfo for guidance as to why this terrible curse had befallen the Bwarlor lands. Drolfo answered, “A curse from the dwarves. You must attack the dwarves for there will be no peace with them.” The merfolk began marshalling their armies.

352 NA: The race of rana rose from the waters of Tonsil Lake. Some say that they are descended from the stars, riding gossamer strands of heavenly beauty. Amphibious and humanoid, they seem to radiate goodness. They settled in the Tonsil and frolicked, peaceful and happy, little aware of the chaos of the world.

360 NA: After many skirmishes the Landers took Cynelle. The merfolk returned control of the city to the Najar. The merfolk learned from this experience and gained advanced knowledge of how to fight inside cities.

366 NA: The grez froze the Northern Sea to make one solid line of ice.

371 NA: The wraith people built a city in the middle of the New Ice, Ksilardyh.

I’m Isaac

Welcome to the GoCorral website! I’m Isaac Shaker and this is a place for me to write about D&D and occasionally other topics. I host a podcast called Setting the Stage that interviews different DMs about their campaigns. I’m currently focused on completing the Cimmeria campaign setting and turning it into a book.

86 – Wuxia Adventures in RPGS (Daniel and Metanoia/Ithasen) Setting the Stage, Campaigns for D&D and Other RPGs

I interviewed Daniel, my cohost of the Tabletop Community Spotlight! Daniel created his own setting called Ithasen with an in-progress wuxia TTRPG system called Metanoia to go along with it. Ithasen has a spiritual force known as Ren that pervades the world. Ren is a magical manifestation of the user's, or Rennim's, will upon the universe. Rennim that cultivate their will grow stronger and capable of more amazing feats as the concentrate their power and force of personality.Within Ithasen there are seven lineages of people that decide what type of Ren they can use. Anamor use conversion Ren. Elkyr use flux Ren. Janim use elasticity Ren. Nyl use influence Ren. Okoi use recurrence Ren. Haqol use harmony Ren. Finally, Daruner use use coalescent ren. The two races lineages that drive unique politics in Ithasen are the Daruner and the Haqol.Daruner children absorb the Ren talents of both their parents, becoming a perfect blend of Daruner and another lineage parent. Through this mixing, a Daruner family could potentially include all other lineages within itself. This power has placed Daruner as the nobility of Ithasen.Haqol's power of harmony allows them to amplify the Ren powers of others. This puts Haqol in a vulnerable position as unscrupulous people will do anything to incorporate Haqol lineage into their bloodline. Haqol have experienced something akin to a genocide as their lineage has been consistently absorbed by other lineages and diluted over the centuries.There's a whole lot more than that so strap in!Daniel has a fully setup GitHub Wiki for information on Metanoia and Ithasen that you can explore.There's a Metanoid Discord server you can join to discuss the rules and setting with other fans.The occasional musing on TTRPGs can be found on Daniel's blog, Tabletop Discourse.GoCorral YouTube Channel for watching the Tabletop Community Spotlight.Vote in the CRIT Awards!
