Baron Kargas “Pissaic” Dolmut (ca 600)

IIRC this is one of your invented characters, isn't it? Based on the FFC reference to the wizard Pissaic, right?

Pissaic is from th FFC yes.
Kargas Dolmut is a character from the Wizards Cabal D20 Sourcebook from Zeitgeist Games.

So I didn't create any of these characters, but rather I combined them into one character.

Somewhere on this board I speculated that the list of rulers found in the desk drawer in the Comeback Inn *might* have originally been Thonian emporers in Blackmoor's past, as Arneson wrote it (if he wrote that, that is)

That is possible. I would have to go back to DA1 and check the exact phrasing. I had assumed that those were rulers following Uther. But it is possible that this could be interpreted either way.

It is very unfortunate that noone was able to ask Arneson or Ritchie about what Ritchie added to the DA modules. I'm sure Ritchie worked through the modules quite heavily, but at the same time I think he made extensive use of Arneson's material, including details like names and such. The DA modules are fascinating in how rich they are with details down to names of weapons, horses etc.
