Forward
f Forward e
Welcome to the exciting world of the Dragonstone Lands.
Within these pages will be found details of the Dragonstone Lands that the PCs have moulded for themselves.
NPCs of note, details of businesses, maps and plans of all-important areas will be here. The PCs themselves
will have areas of their own, detailed by players and crafted to whatever level of detail they require. As the
material expands so new areas will be added, and thanks to computer technology these changes can be
reflected in a changing and developing work.
And then using this information as a living backdrop, there will be adventures, and the first of these new
endeavours is being written at the same time as this Gazetteer.
Enjoy the texture and flavour of this world, and enjoy the continuing adventure…

Overview of Dragonstone
Overview of

modules and subsequent adventures, the Barony of time date April 1163) are as follows:
Dragonstone has new leaders and a new and
stable economy. Katie 4,291,389
Claire 4,488,594

players are using this material, it is not necessary El’Mordet 1,023,567

recent events since the Dragon Wars. Suffice it to Topper 3,736,467
say that Dragonstone has had its share of unrest Aquilla 1
and is entering a period of relative stability, at least Foedus 4,987,795

Pity was originally the quasit familiar of Falzar

Everhate of the House of Everhate, a Drow. Falzar
travelled the world seeking to understand the
nature of good and why good folk made seemingly
irrational sacrifices for each other. He never quite
understood, but a glimmering passed on to Pity.
Falzar was killed adventuring and is gone for good,
but Pity was re-incarnated as a strange Human
who is really part Quasit. Some of his abilities
remained, some did not. As he could not approach
Dragonstone (he is Demonic) the PCs made him
some gifts of Falzar’s belongings and he went on
his way, north into the wastelands. When he
departed, Topper cast a Stoneskin spell on Pity,
and by some strange chance it renews itself once
per day.
We may yet see Pity again, but certainly not within
the boundaries of the aura of the Tree of Life. Pity
is well disposed to the PCs for their kindness to
“Master” and to himself, but he is still
fundamentally CE, acting appropriately towards
others.
