Mishler's Northern Marches: Humans of the Northlands

[JamesMishler]

So wow, that was a lot of work you put in James. Seems like an interesting stew of Howard, Norman and no doubt a few others. You are definetly making your own Blackmoor. Good on you.

Thanks! I'm going with the Northern Marches being a combination between the Crusader States, the Norman invasion of England, and Aquilonia's Westermarck from the Conan stories. There's also that dash of Norman's Gor with the big birds, but their source is more along the lines of CAS and his Zothique, adding a bit more weirdness to the realm.

I've also ditched (heresy!) the aliens in the Temple of the Frog, going a different direction there, and leaving all the focus of weird high technology from the Egg of Coot. Of course with his numerous incursions (on the Six-Year Plan, perfect in all its intricacies), the forces of the Coot have left no few bits and bobs of their weird tech all throughout the North. This also leaves the Coty of the Gods in the Salikar Wastes to be something else again altogether...
