the Council of Eleven (consisting of scholars, wizards and priests)
wields considerable influence.

past in the events that led up to the Jarin Rebellion. The local
Ivinian rulers, the Hjaida clan, cracked down forcefully on their
Jarin subjects, but this only strengthened the resolve of the Jarin.
The keep was ultimately taken by the rebels under the leadership of Gweffryn
Seylnes, founder of the Aenghysa resistance.
While Seylnes, who fashioned himself the Lord of Lorkin, controlled the
immediate area around Lorkin, the Ivinians used nearby Arone and Shese as
footholds from which to stage continuous attacks. A clan originally from

of the Anoth River between the Jahl Mountains and the Rayesha range. The

Characters of interest
❖ Enedwyn: (top right):Gundar´s youngest sister resides just outside
Leriel. She is a kitchen maid in Prince Eamonn’s household, serving
under the mistress Viona of Armys. She has one daughter, Acinn, who is
a member of The Order of Chuchlaen Wheelwright at Gedan. Her
husband is deceased since a few years back.
❖ Laeryl (bottom right): The eldest of Gundar’s two sisters, Laeryl is 60

years old, and is on her deathbed as the campaign begins. She will die
from severe pneumonia at the end of the month Nolus. Ever since
fleeing from Aselt in 683 TR, she has lived in Marby, married to the
village’s only potter, Fionor. They had six children, four of them living,
all adults and married. One of her sons, Rabryn, is a successful mercan-
tyler living in Leriel (map key #21), so the family has not been wanting.
❖ Acinn (see: Gedan): Enedwyn’s daughter, 27 years old, who can lead the
characters to their aunt, but who also knows some of the Aenghysa
backstory, and is sympathetic to the Jarin cause. She is a low level cleric
in the Order of Chuchlaen Wheelwright, and regrets never having gotten
to meet her legendary uncle.
❖ Rabryn of Fellyr (see: Leriel, map key #12): Laeryl’s second son, who
can lead the characters to her, or to Enedwyn. He knows little of the
events that led to Gundar leaving Harn, but he does know the family
well, and can connect the characters with all of them. He originally
moved to Leriel to build a successful career for himself and initially
lived with his aunt Enedwyn and her family. Rabryn is currently not on
speaking terms with his cousin Acinn however, and prefers to not rock
the boat and draw the attention of the Ivinians, so he purposefully does
not keep up with what his troublemaker cousin is doing.
❖ The Cousins: Besides Acinn and Rabryn, the characters have three
other cousins who are alive, all of them Laeryl’s children (the other
two, a pair of twins named Enyr and Andwyr, died at an early age).
None of them know much at all about Gundar (though they might be
able to provide a clue if asked the right questions), and they will refer
the characters to either Enedwyn, Laeryl, or Acinn:
Wynrith (f, 36) (potter, lives in Antir, see: Marby)

Denwair (m, 31) (fisherman, lives in Kem, see: Marby)
Flaidh (m, 26) (sailor on a trading vessel currently in Thay;
typically stays in the family cottage when in Marby)
❖ Noron (see: Noron’s Keep): The Pradeyalkri of Noron’s Keep is one

of very few who can tell of Gundar’s last few weeks on Harn, and
what he did before leaving. However, Noron will no doubt be a
tough nut for the characters to crack, as he is not naturally trusting
of humans, and won’t divulge information freely, or even intelligibly.
His narrative style is often mysterious and secretive, he is difficult to
get a read on, and he tends to speak in metaphors and use esoteric
symbols that the characters may not be able to follow. He is also noto-
riously short tempered, so the characters better not get on his bad side.

Hermit, the crazed prophet of Askellin Island, once issued a cryptic
prophecy that referenced three children of a man identified only by
the “Green-Eye” moniker – a name never used while Gundar lived
on Harn. The prophecy was brought to Gedan by the travelling
minstrel Rhys of Tellyn, who visited during one of his rare journeys
away from Arathel in 714 TR. Rhys composed a melody for the
prophecy and sang it often during his stay at Gedan. It has be-
come a favourite campfire song of many of the younger resistance
fighters, even though they do not know what the prophecy means.
The message for the PCs in this prophecy is that Meamyt has seen
their father’s death in a vision, and he knows the identity of the
killers. Should they fail to dig for the truth on their own, the GM
can use this as a last resort. The identity of Tenebrys of Chun-
Jabad, in particular, may be revealed if the PCs choose to travel to
Askellin and commune with Meamyt.

Rabryn might be able to take them to Marby.
However, besides the family back story, none

happened after Gundar left, although Ened-

who is staying at Gedan.

The Scroll of Taurin Halfhand (right)
This scroll, a long and partially scorched roll of parchment, contains a
documented 683 BT eyewitness account of the aftermath of the Battle of
Sorrows, as told by the Atani scribe Taurin Halfhand (see Kingdom of Evael,
Columbia Games #5081). It details what happened to the elven King Daelda
after the battle, and how he was confronted with the demon Aedlad, who
was summoned to try to defeat the elven forces.
The scroll reveals the location of Daelda’s burial site and Aedlad’s prison
and is a very dangerous document. Tenebrys of Chun-Jabad discovered
through his research that the scroll had ultimately made its way to the
chantry of Arcane Lore in Karemus, and suspected that it had been part of
the viking loof following the Sherwyn raid in 697 TR. He was the one who
directed the Sherwyns to Gundar in order to retrieve the loot, conditioned on
him being allowed to keep the scroll. The Sherwyns had little interest in it,
so they happily accepted.
Both the Riddlemaster and Noron have for years been tormented by visions
and dreams about the scroll being found, and are fearful of Tenebrys and his
desire to possess the scroll, accurately sensing sinister motives at play.
These motives will be described in more detail in Chapter 5: Bejist –
Epicenter of Evil.
On the back of the scroll, written in partially revealed disappearing ink, is a
scribbled note saying “Always south”, and a simple map of the Khuzan
fortress Caer Harmenel, with the northwest tower highlighted. These
scribbles will appear in full if the parchment is gently heated up using an
open flame (allow the PCs to roll INTx2 to realize this). For details on the
fortress and exploration of the ruins, see Evael (Columbia Games #5081).

Harn
Secrets of the Misty Isle
Harn is a verdant, hilly, o ten mist-enshrouded island of approximately

240,000 square miles (almost three times the size of Great Britain), some-
what set apart from mainland Lythia (the largest continent of the planet
Kethira). It is considered a bit of an uncivilized backwater by the people of
Lythia, but also holds a strong appeal and mystery for the adventurous.
is module includes an introduction to Harn for players and GMs who are
unfamiliar with the setting, and presents an overview of numerous specific
locations.
is module also contains Chapter 3 of e Saga of Gundar Green-Eye; an
expansive Harn campaign which will take the characters from the ords of
Menglana to the shores of Harn and beyond, in search of the culprits who
murdered their parents.
Note: Some of the contents in this module were previously published
independently, as the fanon articles Anrist Point – Home of the Riddlemaster.
and Shese – Stronghold of the Slayers.
is fanon article builds on: Harn (Columbia Games #5101), Sorkin Mountains
(#5890), Noron’s Keep (#5887), Lorkin (#5818), Gedan (#5885) and Leriel (#5815).
