It is an Alphatian kingdom. But, it is outside the main part of the empire, like the Alatians, Bellissaria, IoD, etc. Baron Norlan is actually an Alphatian king, but he uses Baron to sound more "swashbuckling & roguish". In this adventure, Qeodhar acted as an independent kingdom, w/o imperial approval. Alphatian kingdoms typically have a large amount of independence w. regards to foreign policy, laws, etc. The many kingdoms do not form as cohesive an empire as Thyatis, it's more of a confederation, and there is much more internal conflicts between the kingdoms. In this case, however, Norlan went way too far. ******************************************************************** The Other Worlds Homepage: http://www.wizards.com/dnd/OtherWorlds.asp The Mystara Homepage: http://www.pandius.com To unsubscribe, send email to LISTSERV@ORACLE.WIZARDS.COM with UNSUB MYSTARA-L in the body of the message. ------------------------------ End of MYSTARA-L Digest - 16 Nov 2005 to 17 Nov 2005 (#2005-214) ****************************************************************
