[If you like miniatures you may want to see my other post with some Lord of the Rings figures including a Balrog. This Balrog features in Aione.

In The High Wilds,
- There are two High Men
- There are twenty-eight Druids of level five and above
- Of these twenty-eight: Seventeen are native to the region - a primitive people based on the vikings of the Icelandic sagas. There are three Ka-akhban, one English, one Irish, one Italian, one Greek, one Dwarf, one Gnoll, one Leopard. The Archdruid is of unknown race, not human
- Each Druid is responsible to a territory thirty miles wide (roughly one hex), with the exception of the Irish Druid Lugh mac Cumhaill responsible for the Forest of the Young from the town of Zau to the Allfather peaks and the Archdruid who cultivates young woods scattered far and wide in the balder wilderness
Each winter evening Gwydion entreats the Waters of Hoa Poa to hold her peace for another night
Gawain - Yes that Gawain come from England little more than a boy yet already a knight of renown honoured throughout Agonmayar. Here he deepens his spiritual nature practising difficult druidic exercises
The High Man Polyphemos the Younger
The Archdruid near Ealden Byrgen
'Don't call me, I'll call you'
The High Man Polyphemos the Elder
Is he responsible for the arctic conditions encroaching on the Hot Gate of Aione?

Where are these Druids on the powers and dangers map?
Compare for yourself - note the four druids in Fiendland:
Nice group of mini's you have there. If I may ask where did the hex map come from?
ReplyDeleteIts my map. The blogger index isn't very useful but I think this link below was when I first showed my experiments with the design for this region and I have been working on it in various forms since then.

I looked them over and liked what I saw. Just out of curiosity, did you print the hexmap yourself or did you have someone else do it?
ReplyDeleteI took a pdf to a local printers and had it printed on A2 sized 200g card paper (24"x17"). At home I glued it onto a foamboard backing so that it is self supporting and perfectly straight. I can carry the figures around as if they were on a tray.
ReplyDeleteIs the druidic hierarchy of the Wilds highly competitive as in the Player's Handbook? Will your PC druid get along with his fellows and be welcome in their domains, or will his goal be to oust one or more them in ritual combat as per the PHB?
ReplyDeleteThe druids are a tight secretive group and there is no conflict between them for influence or power. The PC will get along with those druids with whom he roleplays through a relationship. Druids tend to work alone and are intensely preoccupied with personal mythological investigations. It is because contact between them is rare that greetings are warm and hospitality generous.
ReplyDeleteI will say again that even though I tend to go my own way, I get inspiration from the AD&D core books and prize them as classic texts.
