Making sense of the Mage Wars (Again)

[Havard]

I think there is another thread (maybe the one on mage wars borders) where we dig in a bit. I ran a mage war era campaign for a couple years and had the situation pretty well worked out for that at least. Per canon there were 4 and then 3 factions. Beside Raddan, who controlled Blackmoor there was Xavien the Grey (SP) who controlled Maus but eventually gets conquered by Goss, and in the OD&D material we have the Red Wizard's Coven who control the land of Coot, and we also have Vadeley's from somewhere, but seem to be good candidates for being from Starport/Duchy of the Peaks.

What bothers me is that when Raddan is in charge we really have no idea what is going on at Blackmoor Castle. Raddan seems to be somewhere else (Vestfold perhaps).

This thread?
