Question about the Ur-flan

Oct 05, 2004 22:33:26 Well, not so much a question as a request for information. I know a (very) little bit about the Ur-flan, but I'm not sure how much is accurate. I hear them mentioned as an ancient race or culture long gone, and that they did unspeakable nastiness, and I hear Vecna tossed about with them as well (either as amember of the culture, or as their ruler). Does anyone know of a source about Ur-flan (canon preferred, but I kind of get the feeling little in canon exists on them aside from rumors and legends), or maybe can point to a website or article on them?

Thanks,
Steve M

Oerth Journal I features a several timelines commenting the ancient Flan history.
Then, "The History of the Great Kingdom" is worth a look.

Besides, but I am sure you already have it, the free sourcebook Ivid the Undying features some minor information.
------------------------------------------------------------
After the Battle of a Forthnight's Length, most of the old Flan settled in Nyrond and around the Flinty Hills, I think.
I am not sure about Stonehold, but I think there might be some descendant as well.

Some of the Urflan were exiled with Kas to Ravenloft.

He asked for cannon sources, the first one is definately not cannon, and the second possibly derivative.

The only 2 places that have mention of the Ur-Flan, other than Dragon or Dungeon are the LGG and the unpublished Ivid the Undying.

I wrote up my take on the Ur-Flan in a combination adventure and resource document (history, goals, resources, prestige class, magic items, monsters & spells) in about 30 pages. It is located on Canonfire in the Topics section under the Adventures sub-section. It is in two parts. The URLs follow -

It's not canon. But it should be, IMHO. :D

I said cannon preferred, but not required. Since most topics in GH (or any other campaign) has lots of holes for the DM to fill, I certainly don't mind looking at other people's interpretations and speculations on how to fill them.
