Previous: Cimmerian Timeline Part 38

This entry covers the events of Blendegad, Galandir, and Tereman prior to their first engagement with the githyanki in Shalerton.

967BCE: Galandir was born to elven parents in Valor’s Forest.

880BCE: The human settlements around Valor’s Forest suffered a number of monster attacks. They petitioned the Elves of Valor’s Forest for assistance. Rather than directly protecting the settlements, the elves offered to train one hundred humans to be monster-hunting rangers. Restnor the First was one of the humans who volunteered for this training. Galandir joined the class as well, hoping to learn the skills needed to be a hero like the Heroes of the Dragon War.

879BCE: Galandir disliked the two-weapon fighting style taught to the rangers. He began experimenting with a single longsword in one hand while he used his other hand to cast spells.

855BCE: Blendegad was born in a village outside of Dalleer to a human descendant of a red dragon. The drop of draconic blood gave him access to curse magic, even as a child.

851BCE: Tereman was born as the third son to a minor merchant in Dalleer.

841BCE: Tereman’s parents sold him as an indentured servant to the Dalleer Police.

832BCE: Blendegad had grown into a strong young man with powerful control over curse magic. He used his physical and magical powers to protect his village from a goblin attack.

831BCE: Tereman completed his servitude to the Dalleer Police. His independent training gave him access to divine magic along with the normal weapon and armor skills provided by the Dalleer Police.
Galandir finally perfected his fighting style of using magic and sword skills at the same time.
The Lich-queen of the Githyanki sent scouts into the Material Plane to gather information. They kidnapped people across Cimmeria for torture and interrogation. The people of Shalerton hired mercenaries to mount a rescue attempt. The Gish Trio of Blendegad, Galandir, and Tereman answered the call and proved successful in driving the githyanki off. The Gish Trio began researching the magical items that the githyanki left behind.

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.

Setting the Stage Podcast

71 – Aaron Ryan and Dissonance/The End Setting the Stage, Campaigns for D&D and Other RPGs

I talked with Aaron Ryan about two of his book series, Dissonance and The End.Dissonance is a near future world where aliens have attacked, killing most humans and animals on Earth and driving humans into hiding underground. Humans finally develop technology to fight back and the war enters a new stage while the characters also struggle to determine the motivation for the alien invasion and nefarious actions of the government.The End is a Christian End Time series based loosely on the events described in Revelations. A man calling himself Nero has risen to rule over the world and he has outlawed Christianity. Robots called Guardians hunt Christians throughout the world, murdering them on the spot if they don't recant their faith. A resistance movement works in the shadows against Nero, but things aren't looking good for them.We talked about the basics of those settings along with how they could be adapted for RPG campaign settings. My main recommendations were Ashes Without Number, Spire, and Blades in the Dark.If you're interested in reading Aaron's books you can find them at most any bookstore or library. Both of the series are also being adapted into movies, but aren't publicly available yet. Aaron's website is https://authoraaronryan.com/ for the latest updates on his work. Next up for Aaron is the Talisman series that covers events within the "Aaronverse" in the decades between Dissonance and The End.Our website: https://gocorral.com/stsWant to be on the show?
