Rulers of Blackmoor

[Havard]

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.

Ah, yes I see now that my first post was a bit unclear on this. What I meant was that combined material from the D20 Blackmoor line and combined it with material from the FFC. In particular, I used the two characters Kargas Dalmut and Raddam Goss from the D20 line, and made the assumption that these were the same as Passiac and the Bloody Duke from the FFC. Since we know almost nothing about the FFC characters I figured it made sense to equate them to the latter characters. What we do know sort of fits too. Kargas was a mage at least and Raddam could easily be described as bloody.

In the case of the Dog Duke and the Bloody Duke, I wonder if they were actually Dukes, or that they were instead Barons. If not, we could take it to mean that Blackmoor was reduced to a Barony after the fiasco with the Bloody Duke, with Vestfold (Earldom) becoming the dominant center of the region.

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.

Yep. My take on the Egg's true nature is a little different from yours, but follows the same lines more or less. I have the cult of Id essentially fail in their attempt to awaken the Great Slumbering Evil, whereas the Mage Wars, at the time of the Bloody Duke releasing enough energy to awaken it by accident.
