![]() Welcome to the official online home of the fantasy world of Hârn and of the HârnMaster role-playing rules system! This is the only web presence authorised by the creator, N. Robin Crossby.
The following is a HarnMaster Gold Character Portfolio system designed to help folks keep track of character data. The BASE file contains the six pages that are most often needed. Additional pieces of the portfolio can be downloaded and added to the character's notebook as desired. Hope you like it. Cheers, Ken The headquarters of the Chélemby City Testrad, the committee of the Parliament of Chélemby that oversees the running of the City. It includes the offices of the Mayor, the Harbourmaster, Bondmaster and the Captain of the Chélemby Watch. The Town Hall (En Téstradhem) has a permanent staff of about a dozen. It stands in the Old Citadel quarter of the city, on the site of the old Vúldenar market square. Its main features are a massive ceremonial hall which functions primarily as a banquet and ceremonial chamber. This chamber is overlooked by the impressive first floor gallery, which is surrounded by the offices of the officials of the city. Cellars and stores are located beneath the hall. The map of the hall is a single page, multi-layered document. Different levels can be viewed by selected the buttons on the map, or viewing specific layers. This map is a pre-release document for the upcoming City of Chelemby module. It is also one of the last maps produced by N. Robin Crossby in its entirety. Salónen Ekàtriása is a renowned Chéler cartographer, based at Kolâdis. He has expert knowledge of the seas around western Chélemby, and a good knowledge of other areas of the western Gulf of Shôrkýnè. Since the fisheries upon which Chélemby and Kolâdis in particular rely migrate seasonally and intermittently, he spends considerable time verifying and updating his charts, which are in strong demand from fishermen and other seafarers in the region. Attached to this Lore article is an example of the Charts that Salónen produces - although he is unlikely to provide all of the data on the attached map to a single customer - but rather sell more specific information and charts on an "as needed" basis. More information about Salónen and the fishing activities around Kolâdis can be found in the Kolâdis module.

It's taken longer than we had estimated or plannend -- but the new kelestia.com Webshop is now finally online. Accordingly, all official World of Hârn and HârnMaster modules are available for purchase again. Please have a look around. Why a new online shop? -- Several reasons; the most important two are: The new shop is much more user-friendly and it supports tangible products -- that's right, actual printed, physical products. To give you an idea why this latter function is important to us, I have attached a little "appetiser" to this story. It's a preview sheet for an exciting new release.
Some of you mentioned they would much prefer a Saturday time slot for our regular HârnChat online meeting. We have decided to give it a try for the next couple of weeks, starting this Saturday, August 30th. If it's going alright, we might even change the time slot permanently. What will remain the same is the time of day: 22:00 GMT/UTC, open end. See you at HârnChat. As many of you will by now know, on 23 July 2008, N Robin Crossby, the creator of Hârn, HârnMaster and the universe of Keléstia, passed on to Yàsháin. Robin had been suffering from liposarcoma or fat-cell-cancer in his bowel that was discovered in January 2006. He underwent surgery followed by chemotherapy, and was briefly in remission in 2007. Robin is survived by his wife Sharon, his three daughters, his three siblings, his father and many friends all over the world.
You are hereby invited to join us for HârnChat XXI in our online "Tavern". We are planning to talk about Robin, his great vision and how it has affected us -- and how it will be kept alive and continued. As usual, the chat will start at 22:00 GMT/UTC. You can check the countdown timer in the "Next HârnChat" block to see when that is. Direct link to the chat (starting Sunday, July 27th at 22:00 GMT/UTC) On July 23rd 2008, Robin succumbed to his cancer at a hospice in Coquitlam, BC. Rest in peace Robin, we'll all miss you. NOTE: Please direct any further comments on Robin's life and what he meant to you to this thread: http://www.kelestia.com/?q=node/291 Thank you. |
