WIP Artwork - Wendich Landscape

A small bit of WIP artwork of the view of the town of Wendich and environs in Central Lorn.

Pell Warrior

This time we have a drawing from '84 of a Pell Warrior (a Thourrgruhu).

A race of Saurian creatures who originated from the southern sea-board of Kairell but over several migrations in huge numbers the Pell moved and now occupy regions of north-western Tir-Mor and in the south east extending into the island reaches west of Aldoras. 

Existing in large clan based hordes, their numbers have declined over recent centuries from their peak during the Age of the Deathlords, with Pellandria now being the largest population centre of the species, the realm getting it's name from these doughty people. 

Errinian Foot Knight

Another old sketch resurrected, this time of an Errinian Foot Knight.

Depicting a Foot Knight of Krynar descent, these peoples make up the backbone of the Errinian forces and are enthusiastic in their support of the ruling Dragon Lords.

Ferren Myoch, located in the north east of Errin on the Lornian Empire border, and part of Ellenshermall Duthaich (Province or territory), the area being well known for the quality of it's infantry, many of whom hire themselves out as mercenaries, or more accurately condotterie, to their Lornian neighbours in particular.

The sketch was done back in '84 and was always a favourite of mine. I had intended to do a colour version of this sketch and I may now get around to this with the aid of technology.

Small Update

Lornian Reiver of Magon Karon

Haven't been able to get much concrete progress on the things of an Alba nature for ages, but thought I'd get a note down on what progress has been made.

The work on the campaign has moved on a couple of small steps  as far as the organisation and rules for the bigger picture is concerned, but not any on the maps but I should rectify this over the next couple of weeks.

Some small progress on troops (figures) for the Lornian armies has been made, concentrating on the Northern Lornian troops mainly but again more sorting out figures and so on.

I've gone through the mass of material that I produced fore Alba and going through it after a fair number of years, it was like discovering it all over again, which was like coming home. I did see that I was not happy to reproduce the vast proportion of it as I feel it is not in a state to publish or really reproduce as it stands. The bulk of the material being hand written ( in my rather stylised script that I did back then) and drawn and a big amount of it is showing the signs of age.

The upshot of this is that I will need to re-do the bulk of it in a form I'm happy with. This will need to be planned out and see what is worth re-doing and what can be discarded and what re-done. This will need to be revisited, but there is every chance that other than the map project, which stands by it's self, the focus will be, for obvious reasons (at least to myself) the Empire of Lorn.

The main drive which has had tangible results to date, has been on the book. A plot line has been sorted out and the majority of the characters have been decided upon. The opening chapter has been set both in location and structure so I aim to get busy with some writing over the next few weeks to actually get some words down and get this going.
