      This page contains a number of short papers containing house rules I have found useful in my Harn campaign, spells I have developed, commentary on HMC rules with suggested additions, commentary on various aspects of Medieval life that might be of interest as background for campaigns set in Harn, and plots and plot lines set on Harn. The contents of each paper are outlined below under links.

Links

          This link contains a proposed system of coinage in use in Melderyn. It should be noted that just as Medieval coinage systems tended to follow those of Rome and were thus very similar to each other in the value of actual coins in use, what ever they were called, coinage in Lythia and on Harn will tend to have coins of similar size, materiel, and weight even if the coins have different names.

The workings of the council of eleven influence events through out Harn.

    This link contains notes on Apprenticeship and Nurture, the Medieval system of education for most children who received any "formal" education
