Viljimil and His Hierarchy

-
Viljimil (Clan of the Mottled Bull) is known throughout magical lodges as a circumspect and devoted scholar who created the most detailed account of known spirits and tales of daemonology: Viljimil's Hierarchy. While his tome and academic work are renown his magical works are not.  As a budding sorcerer he quickly found himself to be lacking the willpower to command  all but the base orders of Chlendi spirits and instead devoted himself to more scholarly pursuits. He spent the majority of his adult life travelling throughout the Rhiat, taking notes and collecting true names from other dweomercrafters, whether they were Heteri shamans, Mindat theurges, or the local herbalist from a pocket community of Chlendi.  Viljimil was well into middle age when he finally returned to Asklor to compose the text itself. He enlisted a team of nog servants to attend to his needs, organize texts and keep him provisioned with supplies and sustenance. As a result scholars today argue whe...

Givos, Part I

-
Givos Givos is a coastal fishing town, traditionally disputed by the Balancont and the rules of Teldarpha (in eastern Ghikarn). While its harbour welcomes foreign vessels, the rocky outcroppings that populate it prevented the community from become a major trade port, and remains largely the province of fishing vessels.

Ideas from WFRP

-
"Oh good point. Potentially, so also are Dragons and Giants, which is why I implied in one of the many WFRP books I wrote that Dragons, Eagles and Giants were the original inhabitants before the Old Ones arrived - certainly true of Dragons** and Eagles. The myth it appeared in suggested Eagles were of the air, Giants of the land and Dragons of beneath, but anyway, the suggestion was that only the Old Ones creations (elves, dwarves, lizardmen, humans, ogres) were taintable...except for the Halflings, which they got RIGHT after all their other mistakes. Only problem was, by putting all their effort into making halflings incorruptible, they left them short on everything else. Which is why it is important that, mechanically, they kind of suck. Once you understand WHY they suck, you understand the genius of it all. **I'm pretty sure the Old Ones LOWERED the world's temp, which is why all the dragons went to sleep - they were cold blooded and couldn't survive without the war...
