Harn: New Free Adventure Available for Download

[Dan Bell]

Hello everyone

I want to announce the release of a new free pdf adventure module set in the world of Harn, but easily dropped in any gaming world.

Goffin along with Henewes are location articles and Will in the Way is a Hârnic Adventure Module involving the two. All three articles are available for immediate download at Lythia.com:

Lythia.com -> Downloads -> Adventures & Plot Ideas -> Will in the Way
Lythia.com -> Downloads -> Places -> Goffin
Lythia.com -> Downloads -> Places -> Henewes

Warning:
Please do not read these files if you are a player (or a potential player)! Send this notice to your GM and tell them to download them as soon as possible. Let the GM decide what information you as a player have access to, for your enjoyment of the adventure will diminish if read by a future player. You have been warned! (In fact stop reading this now!)


Introductions:
Goffin Manor is a generous single knight’s fee held by Sir Edric Quarne. The fief lies close to less than a league due south from the castle at Olokand, but except for local traffic, the road is little used as most travelers between Olokand and Abriel usually take the more direct route through Iversen.

Henewes Village is a satellite hamlet of Abriel Abbey. Its daily governing is done by Abriel’s Reeve for the Rekela (Bishop). The village was once held by Clan Quarne of Goffin but was willed to the Church of Larani as a sign of devotion upon the death of Sir Edren Quarne eight years ago.

Will in the Way is a HârnWorld adventure module for HârnMaster, but is generic enough for other rule systems and can be fit in other game worlds. The adventure is set in northwestern Kaldor, a feudal kingdom in eastern Hârn and involves the manor of Goffin and the hamlet of Henewes southwest of Olokand. Most of Hârn’s common people toil in the soil on manorial fiefs, and their lords often have differences with each other. The Lord of Goffin, Sir Edric Quarne, is a caring knight of mediocre fighting skill. Eight years ago the local nobility was surprised when Sir Edric’s father granted a subordinate hamlet to the powerful Church of Larani as a sign of his piety. Now plots have ripened as someone is concerning themselves with the Church’s management of Henewes and the burdens that they have inflicted on the hamlet’s serfs. They are looking for some loyal people of character. Can there be an end to the Will in the Way?

Hmmn. Is this part of the official game or some fan created stuff? I'm a bit confused. Maybe I'll just click the link and take the risk...

[Edit] Interesting stuff, well worth a look.

It is semi-offical. (I write for the offical publisher, but like many of its free-lancer writers release stuff for free. This allows me to work on an article I want to see published. The maps, art, layout and contributors are all the same of in offical products, the only difference is that it is free.)

Thanks! Feel free to pass it on.
