[Thonia] CBI -3: Province of Bleakwood Sourcebook - Free PDF

[Havard]

You have a typo in page 6, left column, high up.

Thanks! Let me know if you find more. I plan on releasing a revised edition with any mistakes I find fixed.

I will have to read more slowly this sourcebook, but I like how you connected this region with the Valemen! 8)

Thank you. I try to connect these sourcebooks to events and lore from the Blackmoor region. My idea is that before the arrival of the Thonian Humans, the main human cultures of the North were:

• The Peshwa
  
• The Skandaharians
  
• The Valemen
  
• Brute Men

While the Skandaharians dominated farther north and the Peshwa were masters of the grasslands, the woods, swamps and farmlands were populated by Valemen. Valmen correspond to the label "Picts" in older Dave Arneson maps, even though Dave also may have swapped out the Picts with Orcs when Freddie joined the campaign.

As this book reveals, the Celtic inspired Valemen were spread across a vast area, covering not only the lands shown on most Blackmoor maps, but also the lands to the west (see our Vales Campaign) and to the south. Their culture was one of an ancient form of druidic worship. The Druidic traditions of the western Valemen were reformed by Halgred Forestwalker, a human raised by elves, while the Valemen of the Bleakwood stuck to more traditional forms of worship combined with lore they learned from the mysterious Acaldi.
