The Citadel – Novella

Posted on December 21, 2015 by Rorthron

As the smouldering dusk fell, the Citadel of Xajorkith towering above them on the opposite bank seemed lit by a great fire in the west. Luxor the Moonprince gazed up at the Great Tower where his banner fluttered in the gentle breeze. Already the torches were being lit and the slender windows of the Tower were filled with a bright glow.

As a little Winter Solstice treat, here is the novella from The Citadel.

Some of you might find it an interesting read if you’ve never read it before, and for those of you who have, then it will serve as a little reminder, it’s probably been a while.

The Eye of the Moon

Posted on February 22, 2015 by Rorthron

I have finally typed up the notes for The Eye of the Moon and combined it with a little story history.

I’ve just found some extra notes and bits that I forgot to scan. I have now added these in.

The new bits are:-
1. The hand drawn map of Valahar at the end.
2. Some information about name changes on the Eye map.
3. Names of additional wise characters.
4. Known Routes
5. Single Use Magic
6. Holding Domains
7. Independents
8. Restricting the Numbers

I leave on the morrow for the Blood March

I’m just going to put this out there for now.

I’ve made no secret of the fact that I would like to see The Lords of Midnight:The Citadel, retro-fitted into the same 2d landscaping technique of the originals.

I have spoke to Jure about it, and he hasn’t said no. It will really come down to how much work it is going to be. And he is busy with his Legions of Ashworld at the moment.

I’m not ready to start it yet as I have a number of things that I want/need to do before this. However, it will need a lot of design work in order to work out how the original actually worked and to then transpose that. So what I am thinking is that this might be on the slate for 2015. I have until then to work out all the details.

What I am looking for is anyone who was interested and actually enjoyed the original, who would like to help out trying to work out the design of the game.
