Jan 19, 2004 22:26:37 Hey all,

I just picked up the LGG and I must say I am impressed! I had no idea that GH was filled with such depth and plot hooks, not to mention intrigue and roleplaying opportunities. I am kicking myself for not picking up this book sooner.

In any event-I was thinking of starting a campaign in the Duchy of Tenh was wondering if anyone could help me come up with a plot for Tenh to reclaim some of its territory from the Pale and Stoneholder. I know that it looks pretty hopeless for Tenh, but that is part of the fun!

I was thinking that the PC's could gather more support from the County of Urnst someway. I am new to the setting, so I am not exactly sure of the history involved and how to go about this.

Any ideas/insights would be much appreciated.

:D

Jan 19, 2004 22:51:46 hrmm, unfortunately Tenh is about my weakest point on the map. I'm sure some people will chime in fairly soon though.

You have certainly came to the right place for campaign ideas. These guys are pros. ;)

Jan 20, 2004 8:13:24 thanks abysslin,

further to the first post, I am thinking that in addition to aid from the County of Urnst that Tenh plays the Stonehold against the empire of Iuz (they were "allies" and now are at each others' throats-not to mention that Iuz would love to punish Stonehold for their treachery) and while they are fussing over each other then buddy up with the Urnst reinforcements and drive the Pale from Tehn lands.

this is all very loosely put together because I don't know of the national motivations of any of these lands including Tehn and with all of the history that seems to be around for GH I thought that starting my campaign from "canon" (depending on who you ask I suppose) and taking it in my own direction was a good idea.

any thoughts on how Iuz is taking the double-cross by Stonehold?repercussions? inner machinations and/or plot twists that would have them openly war with one another?

Jan 20, 2004 19:23:56 My take is that Iuz doesn't give a fig about Tenh. He used the invasion as a ruse to keep powerful enemies looking west while he concentrated his forces on Furyondy/Shield Lands. All the gold and treasures have been plundered. The only thing left of value is the land itself, and Iuz is not of the temperament to oversee or care about peasants working the land. If his orc armies get hungry, Iuz tells them to raid.

Further, Iuz allowed the enchantments over Sevvord Redbeard to dispell. It takes too much energy to maintain such a hold over a 20th level character. As Tenh is no longer strategically important for Iuz, neither is his hold over Sevvord.
