The Duchy of Evedhur

[Havard]

Nice job integrating dwarves into Thonia in a way that connects them firmly to Blackmoor's dwarves. When I think about Thonia, I think of it as something of a copy of Greyhawk's Great Kingdom, so it's good to see versions that fit better with Dave Arneson's setting.

Thanks! The Duchy will be part of the upcoming Thonian Rand Sourcebook that I am working on. The process leading to the creation of Evedhur started when I began asking myself what the lands of the Thonian Rand were like. I realized that The Rand needed to be a Province consisting of more than just the lands directly controlled by the Iron Duke (Marcovik, from DA1). I decided to add two additional Duchies.

The second question I asked myself was what you are mentioning here. Are there dwarves outside of Blackmoor? Where did the Blackmoor Dwarves come from? We have quite a few clues about elves and fey races, but less about Dwarves. We do know that they have only been in Blackmoor for five centuries, so they would have to come from somewhere.
