What is Blackmoor's Dwoemer Realm?
I am still learning about this, but from what I understand, the Dwoemer Realm was a new subsetting for Blackmoor developed by the Blackmoor MMRPG team and the Design Team known as Terror Incorporated.

Dwoemer or Dweomer?
Dweomer is a term from Norse Mythology later adopted for D&D by Gary Gygax. The Dwoemer Realm of Blackmoor has a different spelling though, possibly for it to potentially be copyrighted later down the line or perhaps there are other meanings to this name yet unknown to me.

What else is known about Blackmoor's Dwoemer Realm?
I know that it was designed as a campaigning area designed for high level gaming. I also believe it was found underground and was a kind of Underdark Setting for Blackmoor. More on this will be revealed in the coming days and as I study the material available to me.

If anyone here knows more about this and wants to share, feel free to do so! :)

Judging from this setup's familiarity to the underworld region of another popular franchise, I am going to suppose that this one never saw publication because Terror Inc. took an arrrow to the knee. :wink:

Great find! 8)

Honest to God, yeah, the Dweomer from TES predate this concept for a good ten years - they surface as early as Daggerfall, I think, in 1997, and have fairly prominent roles in nearly all games thereafter, but mainly in "Morrowind".

Even so, I think the idea is pretty interesting - BM has some possibilities for a proper Underdark setting; that we don't have ellaborated sources about its use (the Tonnisborg documents were lost, as were most of the dungeons from Mount Uberstar) doesn't mean that there is no potential in the idea.

...Now, myself, given the practical realities, I would probably rather use a different background than a dark-Dwarf/Scandinavian setup, and do something based around the proto-Eastern cultural backfrop that we find in the Peshwa territory, and around the Dragon Hills. ...But in any case, the potential to build something big here is certainly there. :)

I think maybe I caused some misunderstanding here. The word Dweomer relates to the Norse Dwarves, but that is from real world mythology, not as it appears in the Blackmoor setting. The TES "dwarves" are called Dwemer, but I dont know if this has anything to do with the word Dweomer.

As to Blackmoor's Dweomer Realm, it appears not to be connected to Dwarves at all, oddly enough. :)

Hope this clears up a few things! :)

Indeed! Well it is time to take a closer look at what this group of MMRPG designers came up with. Maybe there are things here we can use for our own campaigns...

See next post! :)
