Adapting Blackmoor to SWADE + Fantasy Companion

[Yaztromo]

This campaign https://www.rpol.net/game.cgi?gi=78337&date=1695496697 is an adaptation of Blackmoor to SWADE (a.k.a. Savage Worlds Adventurer Edition) and to the associated Fantasy Companion.
I adapted some parts of the story of Blackmoor to the specific time and feel that I'm looking for in this campaign set in 1,082, during a time when things are more stable and pacific then in other times for Blackmoor, and for young Blackmoorians it is not normal being an adventurer anymore as it used to be at the times of King Uther Andahar, but this is more about the setting.
WRT ruleset, I adapted the religion (starting from the MMRPG approach) to the deities "Domains" proposed in the Fantasy Companion, "harmonising" various deities with different names into a smaller number of deities (they can be called with different names depending on different traditions, but they are ultimately the same deity) so that it becomes easier aligning the various "Domains" having numbers of deities and domains that are similar. I also made the deities in the pantheon somehow more similar to the classic Greek and Roman gods, that are not, by all means, all-mighty and all-knowing, but can be capricious, petty, jealous, can have mood swings etc. and every deity can have some good aspect and some chaotic aspect (think about Zeus, that is the god of the Sky, but is also the god of Thunder! He has multiple ways of appearing, sometimes more like a father, some other times more like a divine punisher).

You should be able to see all this in the threads of the campaign that are visible by the public.

Any comment / suggestion / hint / recommendation / build?

Abridged story of Blackmoor

King Robert I of Geneva, about a millennium ago guided a great war fleet from Thonia to the lands now known as Blackmoor and took over without fighting the only meaningful settlement of the region: the whaling port of Maus. He claimed the whole region (calling it the Northern Marches) but barely stepped outside the walls of Maus, that at the time was inhabited mostly by Skandaharians and a mix of other refugees (...pirates...) from several lands. Outside Maus, the population was mostly Elves and a few, scattered Human tribes technologically at early Bronze Age (now usually called pre-Thonians and sometimes also Picts, as they used to paint their bodies with colours made with minerals or herbs).

The Northern Marches eventually were renamed Blackmoor (from King Robert's magic javelin called Black) and were the northernmost outpost of the Thonian Empire. Blackmoor has always been considered in Thonia a far, icy-cold province of fairly low importance, usually left poorly protected and poorly supported, despite the many local enemies and challenges.

In year 1,005, the young Uther Andahar becomes Baron of Blackmoor after his father passes away in a surprise Scandaharian raid. In 1,015, Uther Andahar, after asking in vain for support from Thonia against the Afirdhi, proclaims the independence of Blackmoor from the Thonian Empire and becomes the first King of Blackmoor. During his life, Blackmoor deals with many internal and external enemies: the Thonian Empire, the Skandaharian, the Peshwah, the Afridhi, the curse of vampire Dwarves, the enigmatic entity called the Egg of Coot, all sort of rebels, the Orcs, the Cult of the Frog, the Cult of Id, the heresy of Pyros, various plagues, undeads, the mechanical abominations of the Valley of the Ancients, the Garthropods, etc. in 1,055 Uther Andahar passes away, after a valiant defence of Blckmoor Castle from the Garthropods (and the terrible battle that leaves that symbol of power in ruin). His designated successor, the Grand Inquisitor Col, survives him by a few weeks, as he falls in an attack by the thralls of the Egg of Coot.

The throne is taken over by his step brother King Ewan Andahar, a former merchant and not a great warrior like his brother. The Kingdom is again assaulted but all sides, several battles are lost and many cities are destroyed, but King Erwan proves to be a great diplomat and plays his many enemies against each other. He also shows practical attitude, and no pride, by accepting to become a tributary kingdom to the Thonian Empire and negotiating some diplomatic weddings within the royal family, but maintains the independence of the Kingdom. King Ewan Andahar is later on poisoned by a Blackmoorian noble unhappy with his policies. His wife and successor, Queen Desideria, is poisoned as well and the people of Blackmoor shortly experience the nightmare of the Abyss before being saved by a group of adventurers, as often happened during the history of Blackmoor. Eventually the Kingdom survives, despite the devastation, and the descendants of the House of Andahar build new cities and expand the arable lands away from the coasts and the wasted lands that have seen too many battles: after Uther, the warrior-king, and Erwan, the diplomat-king, Blackmoor is now living in the time of the farmer-kings! The huge body of water that is now in what was the Valley of the Ancients has changed the climate a bit and it is now possible to farm some lands that used to be too dry for that.

You are now in the year 1,082 and the Kingdom had a number of peaceful years. Now being a Hero isn't as fashionable as it used to be one or two generations ago. While at the time of Uther Andahar it was a common practice for all young Blackmoorians to go out adventuring as a coming of age tradition, now not many young people find that option that exciting and all new adventurers have to register at the Adventurers Guild.

In practice, I relied heavily on the history of Blackmoor from the MMRPG, with some light touches here and there.
For example, I re-introduced the Picts as pre-Thonian population and I wrapped together the Ben-Hassock and the Peshawh. I also introduced the theme of Uther, the warrior-king, Erwan (that I used in the adventure "On the Edge of the Abyss") the diplomat-king (or merchant-king) and the following kings as farmer-kings, rebuilding the kingdom from the basis after so many wars.I also stole with pride (from Raphael) the theme of the Valley of the Ancients submerged by waters (a thing that changes the climate locally, opening the door to the farmer-kings and to a general development of settlements further away from the coast - in fact the map that I want to use is of a landlocked region and the names of the cities are all new for Blackmoor, so this climate change with following local population migration is there just to make my life easier  ).

SWADE + Fantasy Companion, under the religious point of view, has a limited number of Domains: Justice, Life, Sea, Death, Moon, Knowledge, Nature, Sun, War, Thievery, Cold. To me they looked too few for a pantheon, but, basing myself on the number of the main Greek/Roman gods, I thought that we didn't need many more of them. So I cheated a bit and I had the deities of Nature (tamed) and of Nature (untamed), the deities of practical knowledge and of theoretical knowledge, the deities of the moon when it is visible and of the new moon. This way I reached a number of deities similar to the classic Greek/Roman.
I then removed some deities that do not fit with the specific campaign (the deities of dragons, of reptiles, of rodents, of insects...) and I wrapped together other deities with the same domains, saying that it's the same deity with different names coming from different traditions (and this is again aligned to the classic Greek/Roman pantheon, where the Greek called Ares the god of War and the Romans called him Mars, but they were clear that it was the same god with different names coming from different traditions).

One thing that in the Fantasy Companion fits perfectly with Blackmoor "traditions" are the rules about carousing (see page 77, in the Downtime section). I think that in this case it is not a coincidence, but it is rather a tribute to Dave Arneson, as he mentioned carousing for the first time in a fantasy ruleset (OK, he did lots of things for the first time...) and created some rules around it - not many other rulesets have section about carousing... maybe mainstream publishers for whatever reason considered carousing less palatable than other rules and topics....

Many ancestries and empires have risen to glory and fallen into dust throughout Blackmoor’s long history, many.
The legacies of these peoples continue in present-day Blackmoor. Many ancestries are found in the charted and uncharted areas of the Kingdom, and each of these ancestries is rich in history and lore.
In general, a majority of humans + half-humans is expected in a generic group of adventurers. However, there are various human ancestries, although the Thonians are by far the most common.
Each race originally hails from a different region, but there are now some places where a bit all the races can be encountered and this is the case of most characters' birthplaces.

<u>Afridhi</u>
The Afridhi are dark-skinned humans with flaming red hair. They are slightly shorter than other humans, only 5 feet on average, but make up for their vertical shortcomings with great physical power.
They came originally from he most inhospitable parts of the Goblin Kush Mountains, far away in the west. Powerful warriors, the Afridhi have survived for centuries in these cold mountains by force of will and discipline.
The spread of religious fundamentalism pushed them to attack and conquer several countries, and they attacked Blackmoor as well. Few decades ago in fact they even destroyed Vestfold, the city with most sages, scholars and magicians in Blackmoor, but eventually they were defeated and returned to the west. Some Afridhi survivors, however, abandoned their fundamentalist approach to religion and settled in Blackmoor.
The Afridhi have names that may sound similar to Romanian or sometimes even Hungarian names.
Mountain Folk Cultural package, but also a penalty on social interaction with other Human ancestries (including Half-Humans).

<u>Dwarves</u>
The dwarves of Blackmoor are an industrious and proud people. For generations they have created beautiful and awe-inspiring crafts, as well as immense cities of stone underground.
Dwarves are proud of their heritage as well as their handiwork. They are quick to boast about themselves and their people. They are fiercely loyal to their kin and slow to befriend outsiders.
Long time ago, their underground enclaves have been invaded by some horror from beneath, or have been destroyed by underground earthquakes and now they are just a mere shadow of what they used to be. Many of them in fact relocated to the cities of the humans, and at the time they considered it an humiliation. Perhaps due to something that happened during that tragedies, they are now particularly unfriendly to the Elves. Elder Dwarves never speak openly and fully about the contentious facts, not even to young Dwarves, that are now cultivating this animosity without really knowing the reason of it.
You can take inspiration to name your Dwarf character from classic names from the Lord of the Ring or general fantasy sources.
Penalty on social interactions with Elves and Half-Elves.

<u>Elves</u>
Blackmoor, before the initial colonisation by King Robert of Geneva and the Thonian Empire and the following migration of Humans and Dwarves, used to be a very prosperous Elven nation. The Elves initially behaved friendly with humans and dwarves, fighting on their sides during their wars against evil, but were often cheated and betrayed when in turn they needed their help, for example during the wars against the evil followers of Id. At some point they even split between Cumasti Elves (still open to friendship with other races when they prove worthy) and Westryn Elves (mistrusting and isolationist), but they are now united again. After the devastating war against the Pyros heretic arsonists, their forests are now just a shadow of what it used to be and many Elves migrated to human cities. The Elves living in the cities are now in better terms with the Humans, but they still don't trust Dwarves.

Penalty on social interactions with Dwarves.

<u>Gnomes</u>
The Gnomes initially migrated to Blackmoor together with the Dwarves, but they didn't have the same integration issues. Indeed, they were always a pacific presence. Establishing themselves as learned engineers and skilled craftsman, the Blackmoor’s Gnomes earn their living working cooperatively with High Thonians and Dwarven engineers. Gnomes love to solve puzzles and their mental and manual agility make them welcome company.
Gnomes are an open and trusting people whose lives revolve around their work. While kind to each other and their patrons, Gnomes are easily annoyed by individuals who needlessly distract them from their precious work. The definition of need is of course up to the Gnome in question. As such, Gnomes are often chided for their blunt behaviour.
You can take inspiration to name your Gnome character from classic names from general fantasy sources.

<u>Half-Elves</u>
In the past, in Blackmoor there were extremely few Half-Elves, but the recent migration of Elves to towns and cities of Humans has greatly increased their number. Practically all Half-Elves have the Human side of their heritage that is Thonian or High Thonian. Exceptions are very rare.
Their names can take from both heritages.
Penalty on social interactions with Dwarves.

<u>Halflings</u>
Halflings are the most welcome of visitors throughout Blackmoor, that they inhabited peacefully side by side with the Elves before the times of King Robert of Geneva. They bring stories and goods to trade and are free from other ancestries’ mistrust. Halflings are uniquely able to obtain secret information, a trait which has made them important friends in dangerous lands.
Halflings are kind and friendly folk who love to tell stories and eat. They are known throughout the land for their ability to entertain. While they are friendly, they are also skilled traders and drive hard bargains, using their natural charisma to influence their dealings with others. Halflings are industrious and quickly adapt to the customs of the lands in which they settle, but they don't like too much noise and confusion in their neighbourhood, so they avoid settling (i.e. sleeping) in the most crowded parts of the Human cities, but they can visit them.
You can take inspiration to name your Halfling character from classic names from the Lord of the Ring or general fantasy sources.

<u>High Thonians</u>
The High Thonians are members of the highest, most powerful Human social caste within Blackmoor’s borders. While High Thonians tend to come from advantaged backgrounds, not all of them have the stomach for politics or fighting. Many use their family names and backgrounds to pursue science and other academic matters. Several teachers at the University of Blackmoor are High Thonians from important families. High Thonians are studious people and excellent entertainers. They spend their time learning and finding new and interesting ways to entertain themselves and their wealthy friends. They are kind and gentle to others but are venomously possessive of their expansive libraries and eccentric inventions.
Physical Description: High Thonians stand 5 to 6 feet tall and weigh from 135 to 265 pounds, with men noticeable taller and heavier than women.
Their skin is fair; their hair tends to be blond or brown. To demonstrate their excellent grooming, most High Thonian men do not wear beards. High Thonians are long-lived by human standards, with life spans reaching well over 100 years.
Their names are often reminiscent of the classic Arthurian saga or of the Ring of the Nibelung.

<u>Peshwah</u>
Centuries ago, some southern tribes of humans settled the windswept Plains of Hak (at the times called also Plains of Hassock), to the south and west of Blackmoor, bringing their horses with them. These tribes are known as the Peshwah (i.e. "the Persons" or "the People"), but in the past they have also been called the Ben-Hassock (i.e. "Offsprings of the Plains of Hassock"), from their geographical origin. The Peshwah are nomadic souls who enjoy the feel of life from the back of their horses, and in time they fought long wars of attrition with Blackmoor and with the Afridhi.
Decades ago, some metallic horrors coming from the Valley of the Ancients almost annihilated them, but they survived by flooding the whole valley, and many of them are now peacefully settled in Blackmoor.
Physical Description: After riding across the wind-swept Plains of Hak for generations, the Peshwah have become a dark-skinned people. Though of human stock, Peshwah are shorter and stockier than their northern Blackmoor brethren. Their features are hard, and culminate in large, straight noses. Their hair is dark brown or deep red, curly hair is uncommon.
Peshwah receive a single name to identify themselves. Some Peshwah also use their tribal name as their family name where required. It is common for a Peshwah’s given name to be prefixed with the Peshwahan term “Peshwah na” which means “Person named”. For example, a Peshwah named Bika would be likely referred to as Peshwah na Bika, perhaps followed by a reference to their tribal name, like for example Peshwah na Bika of the Somhak.
Horse Lords Cultural package, but also a penalty on social interaction with other Human ancestries (including Half-Humans).

<u>Skandaharians</u>
Skandaharians are a race of tall, pale-skinned, blue-eyed, blond-haired sea rovers. From their secret homes beyond the Island of Frisia, in the frozen north, they used to sail in long ships to raid the coasts of the Thonian Empire, including Blackmoor. They caused massive damages to Blackmoor, and they also destroyed the biggest and most ancient city of the Kingdom: Maus. Eventually, they were defeated and, while some of them retreated north, from where they came from, many of them peacefully settled in Blackmoor, mostly on the coast but many also inland. The Skandahari are often portrayed as greedy and cruel (more than Ogres), but the people of Skandahari ancestry now settled in Blackmoor aren't much different from their neighbours.
You can use Viking-sounding names for your Skandaharian characters.
Sea People Cultural Heritage, but also a penalty on social interaction with other Human ancestries (including Half-Humans).

<u>Thonians</u>
Thonians are the everyday Human citizens in Blackmoor and its surrounding vicinity. The noble caste rules them, and many take jobs as servants in High Thonian houses. Many long for better lives and strive to find wealth and power.
Thonians are very much normal Humans. They are well-tempered but sometimes show disdain for their lot in life. Thonians do not share in the privilege or money that they see all around them. Thonians also are angered that they cannot join the nobility, regardless of their financial status, without a direct appointment from the king. The are family-loving people who work hard and try to better themselves.
Physical Description: Thonians stand 5 to 6 feet tall and weigh 125 to 250 pounds, with men noticeably taller and heavier than women. Their skin is dark, and their hair is black or brown. Thonians do not share the longevity of their High Thonian rulers. They achieve adulthood at age 16 and typically live into their 70s.
Their names often sound German, or Dutch / Flaemish.

<u>Other Races</u>
All other ancestries mentioned in the Fantasy Companion (apart from the banned ones that are mentioned above) are available as well; they are just less common in Blackmoor than the above mentioned, but still potential choices. Please communicate your proposed uncommon ancestry to the GM and make sure the option is approved.


<u>Languages</u>
All civilized beings in Blackmoor speak the same common language (Thonian) and other intelligent races (such as Elves, Dwarves, Halflings, Gnomes, etc.) have a unique language as well (half races, such as Half-Elves, of course don't have a specific language but can choose Elvish).
Peshwah, Skandaharians and Afridhi, although all Humans, usually know their own ancestral languages, but if they hail from Blackmoor their "standard" language is still the common (Thonian).
In general, for this campaign the languages aren't very important and common Thonian should be enough for about everything you may need.

The Kingdom holds to Blackmoor’s Royal Calendar, also known as the King’s Calendar or Uther’s Calendar, but it is in practice a copy and paste of the Thonian Imperial Calendar, although no self-respecting Blackmoorian will ever admit it. The Blackmoorian year consists of twelve months, with between 28 and 32 days in each month. These days are separated into ten-day increments called (believe it or not) “tendays”. In a year there are 37 tendays and, consequently, 370 days.

The months of Uther’s Calendar, with their closest equivalent Gregorian calendar months, are as follows:

|!!<<b>Blackmoorian month</b>|<b>Gregorian month</b>|<b>Days per month</b>
| Asum |January|32
| Chrislina |February|28
| Yovenouom |March|30
| Nuol |April|30
| Kavain|May|32
| Tihumia|June|30
| Fukakas|July|32
|Kuilan|August|30
|Dumimia|September|30
|Eaiwe|October|32
|Hotien|November|30
|Jekumal|December|32

This campaign starts on the year 1082 on 22 Yovenouom (Spring Equinox). This is a time when the cold Winter of Blackmoor gives way to a milder season that is more suitable to start new enterprises and it is traditional that young and good-willed adventurers get enrolled into the Adventurers Guild on this day.

In Blackmoor most people respects a wide pantheon of deities (a bit similar to the classic Greek and Roman pantheon), but Blackmoorians in general are not religious fanatics. They are rather tolerant and religion for them is not exceedingly important. Some of their historical enemies, such as, for example, the Afridhi, were definitely fanatics and probably for this reason the Blackmoorians become quickly suspicious when noticing strong religious views.

There are deities dedicated to different aspects of life, such as war, fire, motherhood, etc. but also patrons of different ancestries and classes, and of different animals, and so there are clerics, priests and druids dedicated to each. Just like the Greek/Roman pantheon, the deities are not all-mighty, all-knowing, etc. they can be jealous, capricious, vindictive, petty, etc. but they are just incomparably more powerful than the mortals.
The deities seem to have some kind of <i>family histories</i> (usually very intricate and varying depending on traditions) and of <i>generations</i> (like the classic Greek/Roman pantheon).
There are also several deities that, somehow, are no more - and nobody knows where they went. For example, the patron of time, Temrin (equivalent to Chronos/Saturn) used to be the most important of the deities during past eras and now doesn't seem to be there anymore... and he's not the only one! Can deities <i>die</i> as well? Nobody knows.

There are no separate Temples to the different deities, with all of the deities worshipped in one place. Although an individual Priest may choose to dedicate themselves to a particular deity, they do not have to and can instead be a “generic cleric”. Different ancestries may call the same deity with different names, but in general it is currently understood that the deities have no problem to be worshipped with different names (just like the Greek/Roman deities that were called with different names by the Greeks and the Romans but ultimately they were the same deities).

Please notice that most deities have also a chaotic edge, depending on their mood (no deity is nice when enraged... the deity of the sky is also the deity of thunder, for example), but some of them are more chaotic in their nature and may even have demons as servants: still, they are considered an important (if unwelcome) part of the world, although no priest will openly dedicate themselves to such aspects of their deities in a Blackmoorian city.

Is of course my humble tribute to one of the best Blackmoor stories that, in my opinion, Havard ever wrote: https://blackmoor.mystara.net/forums/sho...p?tid=1352 https://blackmoor.mystara.net/forums/sho...p?tid=1343

[Havard]

Awesome!

And thanks for the kind words my friend!

I think that your work about Temrin (+Burrowers Wars) and Raphael's work about the flooding of the Valley of the Ancients (and I inserted a tribute to both in this campaign) is now such a strong and powerful fanon reference that no self-respecting Blackmoor fan can ignore them.

[Yaztromo]

With hindsight I just realised that in this list of Blackmoorian deities (and in the standard SWADE list of deities domains) there is no deity of healing and medicine (like Asclepius / Eusculapius in the Greek / Roman pantheon)...

I'd use Tilla, Terra, Sylvanus or Baldin maybe?

They seem more an adaptation than a perfectly centred concept to me (think about Asclepius/Eusculapius... although I know that Apollo, and therefore Baldin, in my proposal, can in part cover that domain, but it's not the first concept that comes to your mind when you think about Apollo...)
Strangely, on SWADE there is no "Healing" domain too.
