Vutunuvit, The Hidden Tundra: ANC1 Enhancement

Image
  Vutunuvit, The Hidden Tundra   A newly detailed region of Anchôromé and expansion for ANC1 The Anchôromé Campaign Guide Nestled between the coniferous forests of the bird folk to the northwest and the slightly warmer northern reaches of the Adusgi Forest to the southeast, a desolate stretch of permafrost greets the lost and exiled. Vutunuvit is cold year round, but it is not arctic. While at first glance it may appear uninhabited, this couldn’t be further from the truth. A remote tribe of the minnenewah called the Vitunuk have thrived here for centuries and they mostly keep to themselves. Less common are the tirigan arctic fox folk and the ooktipick snowy owl folk who prey upon them. An ancient magic is also believed to linger deep below the frozen ground. The local folks are thankful that the entrances to this mystical realm are few and far between as nothing good ever emerges from it. Few folks have reason to come to Vutunuvit and most believe that there is nothing to be f...

Aureate Gallery: ANA3 Enhancement

Image
  The Aureate Gallery A Collection of Art and Magic for ANA3 Journey into Rainbow About   The adventure Journey into Rainbow was designed to draw players from the land of Anchorome into a unique demiplane originally detailed in Dragon Magazine Issue 321. One of my favorite locations here was the artful city of Conil-A-Ald, also known affectionately as the “Harp of Glass.” Within Conil-A-Ald is a magical art gallery and collection of near priceless works of unique art created by some of the most gifted artists in the entire cosmology. This collection is known as the Aureate Gallery. Its curator, also the appointed queen of Conil-A-Ald is the lillend Chyseria. In ANA3, eight unique artworks are detailed, but there are hints at many more.    This expansion is meant to detail some of these additional pieces, as well as to suggest that some may be borrowed, traded for, or earned through completed tasks for its beautiful curator. Perhaps some of the artworks can lead to ad...

Duklijfrimben: ANM6 Enhancement

Image
    Duklijfrimben A turquoise dragon greatwyrm for the  ANM6 The Turquoise Dragon supplement Duklijfrimben, who is sometimes known as the Blue Duke, or even just Duke among allies, is the first of the turquoise dragons to "ascend" to the status of a greatwyrm.  Typically, enhanced dragonsight and the merging with one's echoes on other worlds is the means for a dragon to become a greatwyrm, but Duke is likely alone in the multiverse and has had no echoes with which to merge. Instead, Duklijfrimben has reached his exalted status at the behest of the Mighty Spirit Hli'akwa, who has infused the dragon with power, and sponsored his ascension only recently.   The Blue Duke was the first among the turquoise dragons to hatch and he has dedicated most of his existence into ensuring the safety of the young among his kind.   Hli'akwa admired this softness in the ancient dragon and imbued him with his very own essence.   Some now believe Duke ...

Bantambairn: ANS4 Enhancement

Image
  Bantambairn Shire of the Pasocado Basin A New Location in Anchôrome visited by Achcauhtli the Traveler, who has only now remembered to add to his journal, ANS4 Once Across Anchôrome About The journal of the traveler Achcauhtli known as Once Across Anchôrome was my attempt to view locations in Anchôrome how it would appear to an explorer making their way through the region.  I really enjoyed putting the book together because it was a format I had never used before, and I got to tell a story while simultaneously adding game material and furthering the lore of Anchôrome. Phillip “Sleyvas” Wallace has expanded so much on the continent with a whole collection of articles and books which you can find on DMsGuild, each of which is linked here on this blog.  Sleyvas also has contributed tons of material to the lore in smaller chunks on the forums for Candlekeep, primarily in the thread Brainstorming Anchôrome .    When I saw his write up on the    Bantambai...

Zompantli: MZS2 Enhancement

Image
  Zompantli An additional detailed planar region for MZS2 The Maztican Cosmology About One of my personal favorite books in the Maztica Campaign is The Maztican Cosmology, tagged as MZS2 .  Originally, I had written a treatise on Xibalba  just as 5th edition was released and in its original form, it was a 3.5e supplement. Updated for 5e and released on DMsGuild it received a number of five star reviews and seemed a popular book. Because of this, I decided to write more individual books about each Maztican version of the heavens and hells (known collectively as temenos from the works of Douglas Niles), but first I completed an introductory book on the afterlife called The Great Pyramid .    Both original books are linked for nostalgia, but I no longer consider either of them “canon” since they were updated in MZS2.   When the books were combined and updated, the original intent was to write extensive coverage for ALL of the planes, but only Tlalocan, a ...
