Well, with all the talk of pirates and ships, bumping this with some more information on piracy in the Core. I was curious to know where pirates lived since that was brought up in the Blaustein topic, so I looked at the coastal domains to see if there were any mentions. Turns out there are quite a f...

Just a random thought, but would the whole Blaustein/Pirate association have happened had the darklord been named anything else? If he had been named Lord Blaustein? Aside from that, I like cure's ideas. It's a good way to balance it. I think that any sailor or anyone wishing to live on Blaustein wo...

Also, it's worth noting that Bluebeard may well be an actual person, Giles de Rais: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giles_de_Rais Note that the "real" Bluebeard was a lieutenant of Joan of Arc! Wow. What was Bluebeard the Darklord's history again?.... The Darklord's history is pretty much th...

While he sure lures them to his island or waits for them to arrive (easy with the ability to place a suggestion in such candidates), I wouldn't say he is that charming. His appearance is unsettling and ugly. Imho he is a brute and a thug at heart with a penchant for what i would call poetic justice/...

A few things I had in mind about Blaustein. I'm currently building a version of it for our Persistant World, so I've been fiddling with it quite a bit: Blaustein: According to the few descriptions we have of Blaustein, it's a rocky island in the Sea of Sorrows. Blaustein literally means "Blue S...

There's also whatever's left of Dominiani's keep in the former Gundarak.
It was converted into a military prison (Gaz I).

COTN:Vampires has an unamed asylum in Port-a-Lucine.

Doctor Wilhelm Mikki runs an asylum in Chataufaux, but I don't think it's ever given a name.

So we have a few wizard types, many warrior types, a few rogues, a few experts and aristocrats. Not one clerical type yet except Leo Dilisnya who imnsho is very misrepresented by his Gaz1 stats. Well, Tavelia poses as a cleric of the Overseer. And Marla was a Halan healer in life. (PS - I don't hav...

Is PotM still relatively hard to advance in level? I remember trying it out and not being able to do anything on my own except kill rats. I also remember dying resulting in a very severe punishment in getting XP decreased. I also had a hard time getting help as I knew nobody that played, and everyo...

It's a Persistant World. It works a bit like a MMORPG, whereas you can play without a DM around, but unlike MMO's, the focus is truly on roleplaying and not grinding. We do have quite a lot of active Dungeon Masters who run events, fix issues, involve players, etc, but they're not mandatory. It's li...

We're still working on NwN2, but also focusing on the NwN version. At the moment, I'm working on integrating Dementlieu into the module though I'm mainly focusing on Port-a-Lucine. We've been centered around Barovia but are expanding to include Hazlan, Dementlieu, G'Henna, Markovia, Bluetspur and Ha...

Nobility in Barovia

Hello, This one has been nagging me for a while. Nobility in Barovia is defined in a few lines in the Gazetteer and some brief mentions are made here and there, but I'd like to know if there is more to know about it. Mainly about the old noble bloodlines of Barovia (beside the Romuliches and the Wat...
