Blackmoor in the year 500

[Rafael]

Cool, so pre destruction of Id then?

If I would do it, likely yes. Thing is, the Id cult is perhaps the only tangible and recognizable item from modern Blackmoor that one could include in the elder setting without any changes by the book. (I think this is what you call a "red ribbon".)

In my Rulers of Blackmor thread, I have suggested the Dog Duke (see FFC) as one of the rulers around the year 500. I have a writeup of him and his adventures here. This also sheds some light on how I see the elf human relationship of the era.

Yeah, your work on the era was one of the reasons why I think this could be something to pursue.
I, personally, would only focus on BM town, for the moment, and add or remove other lore as needed.
For example, the Dog Duke/Uhlmar mythology could be represented in different ways.
- Perhaps, there's an Elven enclave in the city? Perhaps the reason why BM Town is still a village by 990 is that the Elven enclave was really a tree town that later later burned away?


The Id Cult/Dog Duke stories are reasonably comparable to the Elder Eye/Thrommel storyline from "Temple of the Elemental Evil", by the way.
