I like the sound of this project. Nomadic elves would be an interesting idea... Where are they ging to hail from specifically? The Iron Mountains? The Granite Hills? The Black Forests? The Spiteful peaks? Deeper into the Black Spine Mountains? What are they going to do? If they're further North, the...

Thanks again for some very valuable advice. I think Syjahel 'got' the Shadow Warriors bit - although I'll grant you I was playing up to media tropes. The idea basically goes that the Shadow Warriors are doing their own thing in Naggaroth and have been for centuries. They found Tholtan and rushed in ...

For Khaine's sake. If you want progression, [B]invent[B] progression. When GW retconned the Malekith/Eltharion nemesism I gave up hope for 'officialdom'. The company has no motivation in changing the status quo, partly because they need to attract new players. The "Animosity" campaigns are...

I've just published a new instalment. There are some Druchii, mostly seen from an outside perspective, but I will have a Druchii-centric interlude after I post up the next instalment (honest, guv'nor) Syjahel, thanks for your kind comments. Bel-Hathor's collapse was a bit of whimsical proto-humour o...

Yes, it's in production. There will be some fighting. I'd like to get it done by the end of the week.
And on that note, is there any information out there as to the nature of the Black Pillar? That mysterious landmark to the North of Har Ganeth might be worth including...

I think that covers tile maps pretty well. But in fairness, what you really need for balance is a GM. I made this error a while back when I was designing my own campaign, assuming that, if we set out the rules in stone, everyone could compete on an equal footing. Unfortunately this gave limited opti...

I think razing Athel Loren to the ground would be a great way of reuniting the civilised Elf Races.

What have you done... I used to be that exact same High Elf player, same problem, and I got out of the rut by bringing my enemies down from the power-gaming pedestal, not by fighting fire with fire! Well done for your noble intent, I've no doubt you'll be able to have a more even spread of gaming no...

Again, most of these problems can be solved if you subject the game to a real-life treatment. Get off the old-world grass field, put away the woods. Stick down a white snow field, perhaps, and then bisect the board with a frozen river. This was one of the more amusing ideas which came up in the Gene...

Yeah, I wouldn't want to match wits with Morathi under any circumstances. Hellebron could be a genius by human standards, but to take on the Queen of Darkness? That takes Slann-level smarts. This is a woman who pretty much brought down Asur World Supremacy single-handed, bear in mind. No, I'm no sch...

There was some rather erudite discussion on Ulthuan.net on the same subject, but I'm pretty sure that study hasn't come up yet. Deathknight27 is correct inasmuch as he highlights that 'unbalance' isn't too much of a problem in a fantasy game. At the end of the day, competitive gaming for its own sak...

That point about knocking your animals into line is quite key. On Ulthuan we... I mean they... converse quite freely with Eagles, Dragons, and even the dumb beasts like Griffons and Horses are treated well. Why rule with force when you can rule with love? But if a Druchii player were to field a Karo...

I started writing up my own campaigns based on WH history. There's a good deal left unelaborated on in the fluff, might be worth grabbing some scrap paper and jotting down a simple tree diagram...

And then playing it... all you really need for a campaign is a few ideas and some victims.

I tend to max out on environmental description in everything I write, but I'd still add a little more scene-setting stuff. Snow crunches in a very sinister way. It would be nice for Kurt to be stumbling around making a lot of noise and then pausing... straining his ears... had that been him? Panic i...

Move like the hydra...(1) Strike like the mountain.(2) 1: From every direction 2:With a thousand tons of falling earth When gale is chill and rain is ice; The horns of Khaine shall thunder thrice; And foeman shivers when he hears Our wind-borne laughs - the slaughter nears! It's probably very tellin...

I have always imagined Elves with much darker eyes than humans. They are a different species, and I always imagine that the Elf eyeball appears as a pool of dark water from the outside. However, if we are to concede that elves have human-like eyes, then I would say that the iris would be black, as w...

I pronounce Druchii with a softened CH - more of a Drew-shee.

Malekith: The Germanic way.

I still don't see the Druchii pantheon as 'evil' and the Asur as 'Good'. No, the Druchii gods seem to personify the dynamic, physical, self-serving and violent aspects of the Elven psyche. The Druchii gods are not inherently evil, but the Druchii do evil things because that's the culture. Wasn't the...

Arkanos Sawtooth. Check. Tropes are marvellous. Morvael is a fun character to write, he's one of these chaps who does what he wants. In that chapter he basically started doing his own thing, and I was but the vessel. I'm trying to show the dark side of the Asur, you see. Tired of peaceful cooperatio...

Right, here's the latest instalment link. It's quite Asur-centric but I'll be writing some more stuff from the Druchii perspective later. Thanks for the help so far... as it turned out the Furion suggestion was my saving grace. You'll see...

Alright, ladies and gentlemen, I'm back in Britain at last and will be transcribing this week. I've one major question: Beastlord Rakarth. How old is this gentleman? Could he have been alive during the period of the day of blood? I unearthed an old tale about the origin of the Spellthirster in White...

I hear a good deal about the mines where slaves toil endlessly away from the sun's light, but I'm guessing those are further West. And even by an optimistic estimate I do not see the High Elves getting that far. I think we'd know about that in the canon. I'm working on the assumption that Karond Kar...

Aha, well to be sure the beasts of Karond Kar are the first thing the Asur find on shore... when I get transcribing back in Albion I'll post a link here. I'd appreciate it if you can tell me if I'm doing Naggaroth justice. I hope you'll forgive the plot conceits I will be writing in. I have attempte...

Thanks for the help.

Tell me, what is the Druchii consesnus on settlements outside the walls of the Great Cities? What kind of landscape/civilisation will the army face on its march toward Naggarond?

(You see, I know about as much of Naggaroth geography as the Asur did)

Dranial, thanks for the kind words about my fiction. There's not much of it yet and there won't be an update for another few weeks (Asuryan knows there's been a long enough interval as it is) Yemeth, no joy on the column references, I can't find anything in that whole quarterly issue - is the link c...
