CymruGovernment: Kingdom <Kleptocracy> Pantheon: Celtic <Welsh> Leader: Owen XII <King tmao> CAPITAL: Caerdyv (Pop.: 60k) Other Cities (and pop.): Cardigan: 50k Chester: 30k Pembroke: 20k Loc.: Aeropa (Avillonia) Language: Kelltic dialect Pop.: 1,250,000 Flag/Emblem: Flag: Red wyvern armed && crowned gold, && breathing orange flames, on a white field. Coinage: G: crown; S: drake; C: common; B: spur Important Persons: The Archdruid of Cymru, great nobs, high clerics, lords mayor, etc. Alliances: Five Crowns. Hostilities: None at present. Intrigues: Unknown. Magickal Devices: There are known to be several very powerful magickal devices held by the Cymro, && these incl. the Lute ov Tangled Ways, the Web ov Time, the Achllech Ring, the Lost Verses ov Tydell ap Pennys, && the spear Far Seeker. Alignment: Neutral Thumbnail Sketches: Cymru is a beautiful land ov mts. && hills, thick forests, && small rivers && lakes. Over 1/2 the land is wild, covered with forest scrub ov near-barrens. In this portion ov Cymru there are elk, bear, deer, boar, wolf, && the occasional panther, + abundant small game && game fish. The nation is comprised ov 15 administrative districts, most ruled by a nob, && some 75% of the pop. is ov peasant class && engaged in agriculture, mining, fishing, || similar work. Few are NOT free. The freeman class (as the middle class) is small, for there is neither much ov the merchant || gentry tier present in Cymru. Its aristocratic class is lacking in knights, but this is not much to the detriment ov the land, for it has ample strength in contingents ov both longbowmen && stout spearmen from the peasantry. King Owen is currently undertaking a plan to build the navy, for there is great lack in this respect. Agriculture produces good yields ov oats, wheat, barley, turnips, potatoes, && veggie crops, but little fruit is grown in Cymru. Very fine horses && ponies are raised && are much in demand beyond the kingdom's borders; so too the fine cattle && sheep ov Cymru, && dairy && meat herds, as well as great flocks, are common. A few goats are also bred, but both swine && poultry are virtually neglected. Fishing is practiced, with catches ov both sea && freshwater sort being good. Timber is harvested regularly for all purposes, much going as export to Albion. < chris107 is the God-King ov Albion> Coal, iron, copper, tin, led, silver, && gold are produced by Cyrmu's mines. Quarries provide xcellent slate && building stone.

Roedd arwyddion saith yn reidio ar saith seren, Saith o ffyrdd i ddod o hyd i'r beirdd golli hir Saith diwrnod Daeth saith mlynedd Tra mae Pocus yn chwerthin ac yn galw gwatwar budr Saith gwaith roedd ef wedi melltithio eu dagrau saith Til bob un ar eu hofnau saith Beth yw colli yw erioed wedi ennill eto Dwi yn bwrw sillafu y dywedodd eternity chadwyno Dim mwy o grio o enaid farwol Bellach mae'r llwybr astral yn eich rôl drwy hap a damwain- by King Chris

Castle Redstar could indeed by situated on the Island. Most likely on the West Coast of Wales (Cymru). The present day town of Aberystwyth with its views over Cardigan Bay most acuratly reflect Strenn and the Strenn Basin.

For those who don't know about the CASTLE REDSTAR campaign setting, it is one of the most awesome mega-dungeons of all time, a Lejend in it's own right, like Castle Greyhawk. If you Love ADVANCED DUNGEONS & DRAGONS, Yea, I verily attest: This is the real AD&D!
I hope that, one day, it will published, in full, for the enjoyment of future gamers.

Theory: A brief analysis of CASTLE REDSTAR, on Aerth, in Cymru, from the point of view of the Pantheologist. One of the amazing things about CASTLE REDSTAR is that it involves the DDG in a significant way. I am hesitant to provide details... I do not want to reveal the mysteries of the campaign! That said, it is OK to say that in the CASTLE REDSTAR campaign, there is "The Piazza of Christ". Now, the Abrahamic religions were never part of Gary's vision of Aerth. That said, I have introduced them, to be inclusive of the totality of the possibilities of 1e, to Aerth. Three regions: Phillistia, Rome, Yarbay. That's it. '2/222'. So, in a nutshell: I would highly recommend NOT including the references to Christianity, within the context ov Mythical Cymru. Perhaps, it is like the 81 Tao18: staying true to Gary's vision, while, at the same time, deviating from it. Prespos Ps. Myself, I am Christian (Texas Christian, as in MINISTRY). And, Yes, all of my girlfriends are Christian, too, including Dominique the Dominatrix, who, herself, is of Welsh descent. Well, former girlfriends: thank God that I have found freedom! They all wanted marriage, except, perhaps, for Dominique, though, perhaps, she thought about it. Anyway, no worries: ADVANCED DUNGEONS & DRAGONS is a game, and, a very good one, at that, too. I remain steadfast at my attempt to be a good Texas Christian, though, I might fail. Only the New Test, Only Jesus. No worries: Apocalyptic Christian Cult. 5th Sunset, St. Prespos Ps. Sorry, I went off on a rant. Let's git back on topic: Cymru + AD&DNow, in future posts, we shall take a look at FR2 Moonshae.

Bossonian Marches Wales, with an overlay of colonial-era North America. Possibly from Bossiney, a former parliamentary borough in Cornwall, South West England, which included Tintagel Castle, connected with the Matter of Britain. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyborian_Age#Etymology

Will try to move that post, but, officially, for now, everyone has only 1 realm to rule over. (Exceptions: tmao, Anti-Steve, and chris107 each have 2 realms) However, feel free to post to your heart's content in the Russ thread! Prespos Ps. The reason to limit it to 1 realm per person, is: in the long run, everyone gets a chance to become Lord/King/God. Ps2. I am having fun with this...! It's something that I think will be of benefit to the forum, in the long run, overall. Ps3. We got 2 new members, yesterday! Yay! Ps4. Please don't consider anything I write as WRITTEN IN STONE. This is form of experimental PbP/Forum gaming, so I will make mistakes... suggestions are always welcome!
