About Anarea

The Valdrean Empire

Anarea is a fantasy role-playing universe, which I, Philip Wild, have been running since 1979 and is now in its 6th game year.  This website is intended primarily as a reference source for the players, but anyone else who is interested is welcome to browse it.

Certain information on this website is marked (usually in the top right hand corner of a page or document) as * Restricted Information.  This indicates it is not generally known to characters.  The categories to whom it is generally known may be indicated.  Whilst players may browse such information, they should bear in mind that it may not be known to their character, and reading it may therefore affect their ability to play in character.

The DM Says...

News, Winter 2404-5

We have concluded the Season of Winter 2504-05 and started on Spring 2505.  The ongoing storyline is entitled "A Darker Nature: Tooth and Claw".  The News for Winter is now available.  We have finished the month of Destri 2505.  Players should submit experience claims and any outstanding plots for Destri 2505 and their plots for Kemel 2505.

Rather than require plots to be run within a set meta time limit, I am now stating the Game Time date the leading players have run to on this homepage, and will not accept any plot submitted for a date more than 1 month behind the current Game Time.  The pace at which game time will move forward will be dictated by the plots of the majority of players and my free time to run those plots.

Email me about Anarea to dm at anarea.com.

I have an ongoing programme of defining Spells, and will highlight newly-defined ones here.  Today's Spells of the Day are Prot. vs. Magic and Magic Resistance.

The Story So Far...

6 Kemel

Reports are emerging of fighting in the Taramkhazād-Valga between Hill Dwarves loyal to King Dorin and their Mountain Dwarf allies against insurgent Hill Dwarves supporting the exiled former King Borin.  Most of the attacks have been on small garrisons along the approach roads to Taramkhazād-Dūm from Barrakizdīn and Tumunzahar and the insurgents are said to have been using the Creeping Death on their fellow Dwarves.  Dorin claims to have driven off the rebel attacks, but there are unconfirmed rumours circulating in the cities of whole towns and their garrisons having gone over to Borin and attacked the Mountain Dwarves.

Meanwhile in the Gaprillīki, the Gnomes, KOROS adventurers and Werebears have reoccupied the deserted village of Mind without encountering any great number of Cold Ghosts and have sent scouts ahead to Kro on the edge of the Forest.  The High Elves of the Aldaliė say that the main Army of Ghosts is busy fighting Giant Spiders on the far side of the Forest near the Golden Lake, but significant numbers remain elsewhere in the Forest.

Day 58 (7 Kemel)

In the War Zone of Hulmo a new, semi-fluid frontline has become established between the sieges of Fort Invincible and The Spire.  In between stretches the Zur Salient, where a series of largely inconclusive battles have been fought between Orcish and Hulmo armies, with entrenched defenders mostly holding out against wasteful frontal assaults.
