Belazan: The conflict dates back to the beginning of time, and has little to do with magic. I imagine the first men to craft arrow heads out of stone were feared and hated by their enemies, and the weapons themselves viewed with suspicion. Nothing changed when mages began to hire themselves out to princes and kings. The kingdom with more power was hated, but that hatred couldn't target an entire kingdom. To do so would be to admit inferiority. Instead, the weapons…
After Drannenveldt, the leadership of the House of Morenth grew a bit frantic. They saw that the Jarramites, due to their commercial power, had a small measure of official tolerance, and they came up with their own plan to get a bit for themselves.
The Zioth campaign world came into existence some time in 1994, a few months after I first got a hold of the Second Edition Player's Handbook and Dungeon Master's Guide. It began as a mathematical exercise. I named five moons, gave them lunar cycles, and tried to figure out how often they would all be new at once.

Lurkers are emailed about new game turns and major website updates.
Yes, this is simple and ugly, but it's a start!. I plan to make it prettier, and add time elements from game history. I also plan to add in specific important events from the turns.
* Did you know that “Moose Watching” is illegal in twelve cities and towns throughout the USA, because of fatal injuries caused by it? * Did you know that Bullwinkle Moose was the real name of a Pennsylvania farmer? The show was inspired by Mr. Moose, who was a friend of the producer's sister. Rocky Squirrel, however, was a completely original name.
Looking at this Moose page, you may ask, “what is this infatuation you have with moose?”
I'm not quite sure I can explain it myself. Maybe it's their huge size (male moose grow to 7'6“ at the shoulder and 1000lb). Perhaps it's their agile movements (moose can move very quietly through underbrush, despite their size and mass). Maybe it's those fancy gadgets they carry on top of their heads (moose antlers can measure as much as 6ft from tip to tip, and weigh up to 90lb as a pair). May…
