[Blog] The Burrower Wars

[Havard]

Most of these men at Burrowers Wars times are hunter-gatherers, some may be riders or have dogs/wolves as domestic animals, probably some men even has some kind of cattle (goats, sheeps, aurochs, uri, cows, camels, yaks, moose, etc.). Possibly they even have some agriculture in the most fertile lands and some city in the Caldean / Babylonian style and... well... in Mystara lots of civilizations and wonders of the RW have been translated, but not Babel (Babylon) tower... and... of course i was wondering if this could fit into this setting... in the RW mythology Babel tower brings language confusion and chaos in the worls, as division in languages generates division in tribes and war.

Some have suggested Alphatia is based on Babylon.
However, your ideas are interesting. IMC, even during this fairly primitive age, there are more civilized lands to the south.

After all, all this can be associated with Thanatos and/or with the Burrowers :wink: and maybe a tower is part of the process that Keres used to contact the gods (Thanatos? Temrin? both?) and then transfer his power to awake the Burrowers (that in turn send confusion, madness and eventually inspire wars)...
Just some free flowing passing though put down.... up to you how much, if at all, you want to use some of this as part of your work... :wink:

The ideas are appreciated! I have already used the Throne of the Gods as the location Keres used to contact Temrin, but that doesnt mean he could not have a tower elsewhere?

I'm not sure as I usually mess up the dates and timelines of MY life :oops: , so you can expect an even worse mess with Mystara dates...
Are we far from the times of Kaygar mortal life?

I don't know how canonical this is, but fan material places Kagyar's ascension about 5000 years before the Burrower Wars.
