Rulers of Blackmoor

[aldarron]

The list of Barons seems pretty well done, although I'm not too keen on equating names to non BM sources and I'm personally sticking with the Baron Regscott/Egg of Coot story for the ID traitor in my SWA campaign, but that's just me. :

Thanks! For the record, none of the sources referred to above are non-Blackmoor ones. They are just a combination of ZGG and FFC sources.

Cool. Somehow I got the impression you were suggesting a couple people were the same as others mentined in mystara material. Maybe that was something else? Anywho its a great list.

In the case of the Egg of Coot, the Egg was not noticed in the North untill 470 years after the conflict with the Cult of Id, so even if a Blackmoorian Baron became the Egg, wouldnt it make sense to have him be a ruler at a later time? Possibly make him the Bloody Duke? I am linking the Bloody Duke to the appearance of the Egg, but perhaps in a slightly different way.

Nah, I think its fine if you look at coot as being a kind of merger of ancient ID forces to the soul of the baron (like V'ger and Decker in the first Star Trek movie). The being then matured, grew, and planed for several centuries before it was powerful enough and confident enough to emerge. Something like that. The Bloody duke might indeed have been a catalyst to that emergence somehow.
