Here it is Sunday again and I am feeling the nostalgia coming on. I've spent a majority of the afternoon honing my remedial coding skills working on Obsidian Portal. I posted a link up earlier in the week directing everyone to the Twilight Empires campaign. I've been cutting my coding teeth on that defunct campaign. Got some cool stuff going on. a hyperlinked MAP, some nifty homepage features; a menu on the left, some parchment backgrounds and a terrible banner. Yeah I know how terrible it looks, I just wanted to make something. Remember this is just a test.
Now that I've sent you off to other websites, I will type this for my own amusement. Continuing on with the Old School posts, here are some scrolls from the vault.
Page 1
Fendor - Southern city in Druin
North of the Siafor ford and the Hera woods now known as the haunted woods. Furry clothes, adorned with silvers, and shades of golden brown and browns. Wide brimmed hats. Cloaks are standard signs of status. Color and design(and material) determining rank. Druin Scouts are infamous and famous. Fear the mountains and its foothills.
Rahar - Plain city and largest western keep rebuilt on ancient empires ruins.
((there are some scribbles at the bottom and the words Miak and Parth))

Dwarven Kingdom
Garuel-don
King-Harven
Has ladies in waiting/personal guard known as guardians of Harven. Lives in Garvel-Kaer or the dwarven hall, largest mountain in the mountain range. the mountain pass has seats on each end known as the high seats of western and easternesse. Magically enchanted people of pure imperial blood can focus and look anywhere in the kingdom.

Standard issue for soldiers. Ringmail and platemail mix. all wear helms, depends on family. Families is how things are determined the most influential families are the Throne family, the Southron and Northron families. Though all on good terms it appears that the Northrons may be attempting to make their own kingdom and rumor has it they are signing a peace treaty with the orcs. Trading weapons and armor for an allegiance with them.
Page 4
Dwarves of the middle span have rediscovered the power of the stone metal. Metal forged in the very fire of the mountains. Forged of an ore created from deposits deep within the heart of the mountains. The clerics from the Southron kingdom have discovered a way to create Orcbaine blades by infusing the blood of orcs within the blade but the process is long and hard and only four Orcbaine blades exist. Though made of steel they appear copper.
Wow... about half way thru page two I almost stopped this. This is some uninspired drivel. I think its time to recycle the paper I wrote this on. So terrible. Blah. The code achievements of today help balance out the terrible flavor of these four pages. Now I just need to focus on a plan to get back out into the garage and start working on more terrain.
