[Age of Giants] The Fall of Castle Hammerfire

[Havard]

Hehehe... So, now BMd20 supersedes Ritchie/Arneson? :twisted:

I think you must have misread that. Actually it is just about tweaking the BMd20 material internally.

D20 City of the Gods implies that there was an age when dwarves reigned over much of the north.

However, all other BM material clearly states that there never was such an age. Dwarves arrived in the North around the year 500 and Uberstar Khazakhum founded his realm ca 525.

To keep things most consistent with the sentence from D20 City of the Gods, I would expect this to mean sometime during Khazakhum's reign, perhaps before the 1st Orc vs Dwarf War.

However, my main reason for wanting to place the creation of Ember earlier is that the sword is forged specifially to be used against fire based creatures. Also it was given by the dwarf smith, along with a suit of armor to a barbarian warrior. Barbarian might refer to alot of things*, but if this was during Khazakhum's reign, why not give it to the Thonians of Blackmoor instead?

*=Likely Peshwah given the sword's current location.


I will have to think about this though. The story of Fire Giants and related creatures is definitely interesting.
