[Thonia] Fall of the Dwarves - A Campaign Expansion

[RobJN]

Very nice expansion and great cover!

Thank you!

I keep revising in my mind how to make the Thonia Sourcebooks better. I already have drafts for 10 books in the works. I'm thinking campaign outlines or adventure seeds can be a useful addition to either incorporate within the books themselves, or as future "expansion" booklets if needed.

I didn't plan on an expansion for the Thonian Rand book at first, but I could not quite let this project go.

The idea that the Dwarven Realm of Evedhur keeps existing within the Empire of Thonia as a kind of good realm within a greater Empire that gradually becomes more and more corrupt was something I felt we needed to adress. Why doesn't Duke Arkalist go against the Emperor and the Iron Duke and why is Arkalist still allowed to rule his realm? This campaign outline adresses those things.

It also allowed me to make some connections to the Age of the Wolf which is where the cover image was taken from. I don't know exactly what a Herald of Thanatos (pictured above) was supposed to be, but it might make sense if the dwarves of Evedhur had taken part in creating them for use against Blackmoor. Obviously Duke Arkalist would not want to help the Iron Duke, but if the Dwarf Duke was replaced then things would be different.

I would not be disappointed if each sourcebook had a companion adventure guide full of adventure hooks/seeds, expanded NPCs, detailed maps, etc.....
