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 The Azeryan Empire. 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
