  Welcome to the Bloodstone Lands Campaign! We will be playing a 3rd Edtion conversion of the H-series modules "The Bloodstone Pass", "The Bloodstone Mines", "The Bloodstone Wars", and "The Throne of Bloodstone" by Douglas Niles and Michael Dobson. For the Mass Combat, we will use Cry Havoc, written by Skip Williams. The characters used will be the survivors of the Ravenloft Campaign. A Nation ShatteredBarely thirty-five years ago, in FR1347, a calamitous event in the wastes of Vaasa rocked the stability of the entire region. In a single night, the evil fortress Castle Perilous arose on a lonely crag only 60 miles north of the Galenas and the Damaran border. Out from this bastion of wickedness stepped Zhengyi the Witch-King, a lich of unspeakable powers. The Witch-King claimed the sovereign powers of the kingdom of Vaasa. Winning the cold hearts of the countless goblins, orcs, and giants living in the mountains, the Witch-King pulled them all into his fold. Zhengyi enlisted the aid of powerful denizens of the lower planes and surrounded himself with the foul priests of Orcus, who could raise and command legions of undead. With this vast army swiftly assembled, and further aided by the infamous Grandfather of Assassins and his foul guild, the Witch-King prepared for war. In the summer of FR1357, Zhengyi's forces faced off against King Virdin at the Ford of Goliad. The King was tricked and murdered, leaving Zhengyi a clear path to conquer Damara. Zhengyi had spent ten years preparing for this day, and he didn't hesitate. Calling on the forces of the Grandfather of Assassins, the Witch-King instituted the second phase of the destruction of Damara. It took only one bloody night for the most loyal and powerful nobles of Damara to be slain. The "peace" that ensued was not favorable to the conquered. The Witch- King granted a veneer of independence to the feeble remnants of the Damaran houses, dividing the southern reaches of the old kingdom into six poor baronies; poorer still after paying tribute to their conqueror, the Witch-King. Zhengyi gave control of the Galenas to the Grandfather of Assassins, then tightened his own evil clutch on the north. A stream of refugees trekked south as best they could. Meeting:This is strictly a Table-top Pen-and-Paper Role Playing Game, we do not play by e-mail, and playing in this campaign is by invitation only. Meetings will be arranged by the DM. If there is ever any doubt as to when we are meeting, contact me. Below are some useful supplements that will help the players out:
 The characters involved are the lifeblood of the game. Without their interactions, and unique outlooks there would simply be nothing to roleplay. Click on each character's name to find out about his/her background. Below is a nice table outlining all the player characters that have been involved in the game:
  Here are my comments and a brief summary on all of the adventures the party has played out so far:  I will post Journal Entries as they are made by different characters. XP is awarded for in-character journal entries. More journals are coming soon!
