Blendegad’s Hill

Blendegad’s Hill is the site of the battle between Blendegad and his companions, Tereman and Galandir. The pair had discovered Blendegad’s vampiric transformation. Tereman wished to slay him but Galandir convinced him they could simply imprison their old friend. They lured Blendegad to a prepared ambush spot where they used magic to seal their former battle brother beneath the hill.

Tereman and Galandir stripped their captive friend of the panoply that had transformed him into a vampire. They were unable to destroy the powerfully enchanted items. Instead, they locked them away in dungeons guarded by powerful beings. Blendegad’s Shield was kept within the same hill as Blendegad himself.

Blendegad’s Hill was eventually plundered by Terroc‘s adventuring group. They recovered Blendegad’s Shield, but also released its evil owner. This action set in motion the events that led to creation of the dragovinians and the Second Alliance War with Xoria. Blendegad’s Hill remains as an abandoned tomb with defunct traps and a powerful evil aura permeating the air.

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?
