Kalidnay Region

Kalidnay Region

Introduction - This is my first Dark Sun campaign in many, many years! I am using 4E rules and can't wait for the official rules to be released later this year. In the meantime, I am faking the things I don't have or can't find. It's working out fairly well.

In thinking about what I wanted to do for this campaign, I realized I did want to go my own way. And now with more than a decade extra experience since Dark Sun first came out, it was no problem. So, I changed the official history, in many ways. I brought back Kalidnay and its ruler Kalid-ma. I also brought back another city state but haven't revealed that yet since the players and the characters don't know. I used Google Sketchup to create the town, which is pictured below.

As I write this introduction, several months into it, I am mostly happy with how it has worked out. I could nit pick a few things here and there all on my side, but am glad I am able to use Dark Sun for a gaming world as I really like it for many reasons.

What's New!

I have updated NPCs (below), Terrains, Magical Terrains and Raam city information.

Updated NPCs, Draj city information.

THE CITY

I am moving the timeline and start date to go to a time when Kalidnay was not in ruins. Actually, since we never got tons of information on the Dark Sun cities, at least most of them that I can remember, it's wide open. Sure, some of the books and items give some information but not everything was detailed. Therefore, I am having fun fleshing this area out.

It's set in the XXXrd King's Age, in the XXth year. Still haven't figured this out. There are some good reasons to have it be near the original boxed sets year and also some good reasons to have it earlier.

I think I have set it about forty years before the events of the first boxed set.

City Maps

It's not finished but it's a start! So, in this version, I added shadows and also changed the buildings. I think it looks less like a government project. Again, more to do, but I like this!
