Good list...I think I'll just add it to my growing collection, if you don't mind...

Here are one or two strong 2nd edition birthright links. They are still active on 7/12/06.

I am trying to find a link I used to have for a free download of the Book of Regency for the game. Still trying to find it.

Hope you see something you like!

Here is a big bunch of Birthright artices (ie, discussions) here:

Here are war cards (just ignore the car one though... lol):

Hope those help out.

And the best book I have read so far is The Iron Thrown.

Most definitely...I'm still curious about where I've seen that Lorac guy, though...

[Conner Destron]

Well, I know TheYeti uses Lorac as his character's name here for the RP forums, and I know there's a character by Dr. Suess named the Lorax.. either of those help?

[DM=DisputeMediator]

No...Yeti and I know something about Lorac that I personally can't place my finger on: He's a famous character from some world, he began as the PC of someone at least (semi)famous in the gaming community, and I'm having a little trouble remembering whom said gaming "celebrity" is...

I think Yeti knows, though... He's just not saying anything.

Being the high priest of Haelyn, Wright was please looking up at the new church he had built for the Impenetrable Hear of Haelyn. Haelyn's Festival had fallen upon Caeracas the capitol of Roesone and now was a great time to gather more followers into his flock. The 2 gold bars he had earned already would go to wards spreading the word of Haelyn in this province. Wright knew that soon the other temple factions here would begin to move against him, so he would have to move quickly to succor his power here.

He look across the way to the Temple of Cuiraecen and knew this was a great spot to build a foundation of belief in Haelyn's ways. Follower's of Cuiraecen love battle and Wright could mold that love of battle into a love of Honor in Battle, with a code of rules to be applied. Wright walked up the Church steps very pleased. This was a great start to his new mission.

Once I refresh my memory on spelling of the birthright Domains and get proper spelling for the gods, I will post more tale of this great D&D setting. And will give info at the bottom to tie my tales into the setting.

(Realm Action: Free: Agitate 1 gold bar 1 realm point)

Wright ascended the steps of the temple. Today would be his first sermon in this fine building. Already his base of support here was growing quickly. The Temple of Cuiraecan had very little money, because of their young members. The foundation for Haelyn was much simpler to grow because of it's older members who had adventured many years and learned the hardships of war and the truth in faith.

There were many people here in the temple today, some seeking healing, other seeking enlightenment. "My friends! Today is a grand day full of promise and hope. The Heart of Haelyn has been invited into Caeracas by your Reagent, the lady Oonagh. Herself a devote follower of Cuiraecan, she reveres our lord Haelyn and wants me to help the people of this Province learn of his ways. There is a plague in this city and in the country side that must be stopped. A plague of Thievery and injustice, and I need your help to stop it. Guilder Kalien and his band of Thief's and Cutthroats have moved against the Reagent and thus moved against the laws and morals of this City. We will not stand for this! We must not stand for this! I ask you as followers of Law and Justice to not let this go on any longer. War is upon us, and we must stand together to crush this uprising. With the help of Haelyn's might," Wright pauses a moment and gestures to the 4 paladin youth's that came with him to Caeracas on his quest," we will bring LAW and JUSTICE to this province. We will revere all gods in our pantheon and free all who are oppressed. I ask all of you to stand up for your reagent and fight!" The cheers erupted from the congregation. The people of Caeracas have looked for direction and they will find it in the Impenetrable Heart of Haelyn.

One Dwarf though does not cheer, his mind is racing... the human god Haelyn is much like his god Moradin. Law, Justice, War, this all rang as truths in his ears. He would help these Haelynites, he had many connections in the under world. He would find this Guilder Kalien and put an end to his guild. He would bring the guild in line with proper idea and business ethics. Dorris strode down the temple steps, a spring in his step which was very odd because, the stone skin of a dwarf made this very difficult. His blood burned fiercely over the idea of starting his own trade.

He would need to recite a quick prayer to wake the man before him. Haelyn certainly worked quickly for those chosen by his bloodline to lead. This dwarf, a follower of a god named Moraden had come into the temple this morning with an unconscious man in his arms. Wright had ran forward to help the dwarf, when he notice the bonds and the persons colorful attire. Looking down at Guilder Kalien he spoke the prayer that would revive him.

Wright paused a moment before speaking to the man before him. The anger inside him, over the atrocities this man had committed cause his blood to boil and manifest it's self in an aura of power that could not be controlled (Divine Aura/Divine Wrath). The air about Wright turned a dark shade of red and hum could be felt in the air. "Welcome Guilder Kalien, Haelyn has delivered you to me much quicker then I had ever imagined. With the help of this dwarf and his god Moraden who holds faith in the same tenants as we, you now lay before me. I have a proposition for you, your crimes against the Black Queen Oonagh, are punishable by death. But she has instructed me that I may do whatever I feel is right and good with this situation. A unique situation has arisen, the dwarf Dorris is a blooded scion of Brenna, and is some what of a rogue in his own right. So my deal to you is this, I will spare your life and banish you from this realm on the terms you invest all your guild holdings in this province to this dwarf here. And your law holdings will go to me. Is this acceptable?"

Guilder Kalien said nothing he just nodded in acceptance of his fate. Wright began the ceremony of investiture right there and then. With Guilder Kalien already out of the way and this Law abiding dwarf running the guild trade in Roesone things were looking up very very quickly. The Impenetrable Heart of Haelyn had been open less then one month and already things where changing for the better. The Black Queen Oonagh, who was loved by all in Roesone for fighting off the Swordmage, would be pleased with the events of this day.

Birthright (campaign setting)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The original Birthright logo.
The original Birthright logo.

Birthright is a Dungeons & Dragons campaign setting based on the world of Aebrynis on the continent of Cerilia, in which the players take on the role of the divinely-empowered rulers, with emphasis on the political, rulership level of gameplay. In 1996, Birthright won the Origins Award for Best Roleplaying Supplement of 1995. Though it has a dedicated fan base, Birthright currently has no corporate support, unlike Forgotten Realms and Eberron.

The setting revolves around the concept of bloodlines: divine power gained by heroes and passed to their descendants. Characters with a bloodline create an aura of command known as Regency, which is measured in the game using regency points or RP. Using regency, characters acquire a domain composed of provinces and holdings. The development of these domains is as much a part of the game as development of the characters. The game uses three-month domain turns to model actions of rulers over nations in much the same way as Dungeons and Dragons (and hence, Birthright) uses combat rounds simulating six-seconds of time to model the characters' actions in battle.

Now we're in trouble, Merader's discovered Niemz's trick for raising post count.

Seriously, thanks for the enlightenment about Birthright.

[chabit]

You should give it a try Conner, its a great setting. It doesn't matter if your playing a lord or commoner, the details of the setting are just great.

Wikipedia or Birth Right?
I have a hard enough time in this rural area finding players for the main game that everyone's heard of. ;D

[chabit]

Preferably Birthright.

I have yet to hear of anyone running a Wikipedia game...
