A.J. Soltare

“A.J. Soltare is one of our authors of whom we’re very proud. He has worked with Bulwark under my father and my uncles Rupert and Sebastian. He claims I’m the easiest `boss’ with whom he’s ever had to work, but I suspect I let him get away with more as he’s been around the offices [...]

Kharndam Guide: Brief History

Kharndam: The Ages of Reason
Consider how the day is long to a child awaiting a parent and that is how long history truly reveals a world. Consider how the day is short to a child reveling in play, and that too is how short history spans a world. To view a world through only the [...]

Kharndam Guide: The Phendarm Protectorates

The Phendarm Protectorates became a monarchy in the Sixth Age when Phendarm the First drove all his enemies from these lands and received the crown as his divinely-inspired reward. He built his royal castle Lantor by 207 OD upon the Connarin Plateau and ruled from on high, his capitol of Mervan growing around him over [...]

Kharndam Guide: Twelvelands

Twelvelands

The Twelvelands, while founded in 1,360 OD, have only the most tenuous of political foundations as a state. Still, the military might and independence of its people are well marked by the Dragonforces in Lluranal to their south. The bowl-shaped depression of the area creates a large freshwater lake at the heart of the Twelvelands, [...]

Kharndam Guide: Tsarnus

Tsarnus

Once called “Kharndam’s Katar” due to its pointed shape, the Lartharn Peninsula was home to very few crowns until Tsarn the Patient took control of the land from Naak-Ost-Chyl-Nyit the “Sablewyrm” in 89 OD. Tsarnus became a state in 93 OD, and it took over a century before Tsarnus became the ruling authority for the [...]

Manthar’s Notes: Kharndam Calendars (Part III)

The Low Race Calendars:
Dwarftime (DT), Rhamathreckoning (RR), Drakereckoning (UD/OD), Sovereignty Flight Years (BF/IF/AF), Impramark (IM), and Eaglereckoning (ER)

While there have been more than nineteen major calendars or ways to mark history by the many non-progenitor races, only six have any major relevance or dominant use on Dharual today (even to scholars). While the centaurs of [...]

Manthar’s Notes: Kharndam Calendars (Part II)

[Continued—Calendars of Rokhal’s Progenitors]

Blazetime (BT) is the solar-calendar of the giants, started with the rise of First Kalsiddar on the continent of Shael. There is one Sunkeeper for each tribe or clan of giants whose sole job is to record history for that clan or state. Sunkeepers also map the sun’s changes and details and [...]

Manthar’s Notes: Kharndam Calendars (Part I)

Manthar’s Note: “The matter on which you enquired I have excerpted from Volume the First of Ajra of Mnoll’s To Traverse the Rivers of Time: An Historia Rokhalica. Fascinating really—the provenance of the copy in Drakesfall’s Incandescent Library. Ajra himself wrote the books between 7870 and 7900 Aureckoning (see below, dear lad, and all shall [...]
