Korwin Seaborn is a water mage of some skill. Despite his relative youth (he only gained the rank of Kolori in 3017), his teachers and mentors in the arts of Avikor magics have all told him that they expect great things from him, in the years to come… if only he can learn to reign in … Continue reading

With the former Constable of Dür hanged and no longer a threat, the Hand of Fortune left Kolosür the next day, joining Ser Alakor, his ten new yeomen, and the newly refreshed Hand of Vengeance for the journey to Dor Dür. Both Drake and his brother would have left as soon as the trial was over, … Continue reading
Welcome to the World of Novendo
Novendo is a fantasy role playing world that has been evolving since I created it in 1975. Many players have contributed to this evolution, leaving their mark on Novendo just as surely as I have. I’ve always thought of fantasy role playing as collaborative story-telling, and I hope this blog will demonstrate that. The current … Continue reading
Aftermath of the Missing Maid
For several days his friends were afraid that Drake’s condition might be permanent… neither Mariala nor Devrik could make a dent in the enchantment, and Vulks prayers and rituals proved equally ineffective.

The Missing Maid, Part II
While his companions were pursuing the kidnapped girl underground, Drake followed his own pursuit of the Maid Carissa on the surface.

Mariala was able to “diagnose” Erol’s complaint of headaches and strange phenomena as an emerging psionic talent: amplification. She explained that this allowed him to increase the power of any existing arcane or holy energies within his range (about 20’). It doesn’t increase the chance of a spell, ritual or psi-talent being successful, but it … Continue reading

His revelation as the man behind the murder of the physician Ser Petral, and the likely cause of the assassination attempts on the Earl, had the entourage in a great turmoil. Lady Milosia, the fled man’s wife, … Continue reading
A Murder, and a Conspiritor Revealed
Our heros continued on with the Earl’s Progress, leaving Kar Urkonis,the seat of the newly-rescued Earl of Yorma, on the morning of 18 Emblio. On the way to Dolint Abbey, the seat of the Kleros of Gostrial, the cure that Ser Petral (who apparently also answers to the name “Petras”) and Drake had developed began to show … Continue reading
Aftermath of the Sleeping Earl’s Rescue
During the trip back from the hidden lair were the Earl of Yorma was being held captive in a strange Ancient artifact, the group spent a fair amount of time convincing the nobleman that he really had been missing for over a year. “I swear, it couldn’t have been much more than a tenday,” he … Continue reading
