On the Formorians of the Flanaess: History, Culture and Nation

There’s an old saying that you should never judge a book by its cover. In many cases that’s true, but it should be noted that there’s an exception to every rule. In the case of formorians, you really can judge a book by its cover.”-Seline Roas Del Cranden, adventuring wizard.

On the Storm Giants of the Flanaess: History, Culture and Nation

“It can be a lonely existence, to be sure. And yet, we would have it no other way. As violent and powerful as a storm can be, nonetheless does it play an integral role in the workings of the natural world. So too is it for we, the giants that take the storm as our name. If we may create something of lasting value to the world, whether in art and music or in battle against evil, we have lived our lives to the fullest and have no regrets when at last we expire.”-Lord Amleth of the Seventh Harp, in reply to a human bard asking why he isolates himself from the world.

Postfest XIII (Brewfest 2009): Seregith Lithin, Would-Be Olven Lich

No good villain should have to languish in obscurity....

I developed this mid-level NPC for my AD&D® campaign. Players being what they are, they avoided his lair entirely. Later, I submitted him for inclusion in a "Rogues Gallery" compilation at Dragonsfoot. That project never saw the light of day. Now, at long last, we can brush away the cobwebs to reveal Seregith Lithin, would-be olven lich....

Postfest XIII(Brewfest 2009): The Haunt of Gol Usan

“Our band was on the trail of a coward thief hiding near a wooded lake when we came upon the hovel of a strange old hermit. Before we had a chance to question him, he began to threaten us! He told us that we should leave the woods before night fall or else forfeit our lives. Of course we ignored the fool. We couldn’t turn back now for the Orakhan would have our hides instead. The hermit wouldn’t speak anymore even after we sacked his home searching for the thief. He just stared and smiled. Then our dogs picked up a new scent so we set off into the woods once again just as the sun was setting and an ill wind began to blow across the mesa. What happened over the next several hours was a nightmare. If only we had known the legend of the Haunt of Gol Usan; the old hermit was trying to warn us.”

- Testimony of Khurai, sole survivor of the Teeth of Ulakand.

The Fall of Myrsyma�s Temple

Long before Queen Ehlissa created her Marvelous Nightingale, long before the Wizard-Priest Tzunk used the Codex to attempt the conquest of the Brass City, long before Kyuss performed unholy experiments in the mortuary city of Unaagh in the kingdom of Sulm, there was another legend whispered among the Flan . . . Caerdiralor . . .

Revenge of the Giants Review

Newly released as the first 4E "super-adventure", Revenge of the Giants is not an official GH product but that doesn't mean it can't be used as one.

Flight from Caerdiralor

Long before the Twin Cataclysms there were whispered stories of lost empires of the Ur-Flan; the Occluded Empire of Vecna, the Isles of Woe in the Nyr Dyv, Veralos near the Rift Canyon, Tostehnca in the Griff Mountains and Sulm in the Bright Desert.
But long before any of these, there was another. So long ago that even the resilient gnomes of the Headlands, the enduring dwarves of the Iron Hills, the long lived elves of the Rieuwood and the ancient treants of the Menowood are hard pressed to remember. But it is whispered . . . Caerdiralor . . .
