Has anyone done work on the AC history of the Northern Reaches? The GAZs are extremely sketchy here. In my new campaign the PCs have begun a tour of the NR, and any ready-made material would lighten my workload a lot. Actually we already managed to stumble through the Falun caverns and today the PCs will travel through the Great Marsh. Next in line is some intrigue during the "ting" of the Soderfjordians. But when we get to Vestland and Ostland, some historical flavour would really be useful. I've written something on Vestlandian history for my main campaign, but it is useless now, as I've incorporated the Ruthinian dominancy of X13 and other stuff, adn it all deviates too much from the GAZ line. The new campaign is "canon" for the main reason that it's easier to get ready-made material.

You can also find that with some niftier formatting on the Vaults of Pandius, of course. But sorry, no extensive history section. And my plans to write more NR stuff have been postponed indefinitely.

I actually posted a sort of "fix" to the discrepancies between X13 and Gaz7 on the MML a while back. You can read what I came up with at the Vaults here: http://pandius.com/gaz7_x13.html ------------------------------ End of MYSTARA-L Digest - 16 Aug 2005 to 17 Aug 2005 (#2005-159) ****************************************************************
