Daniel McCluskey on Sazdorf

Daniel:

>Haunted Ruins)
I have to side with Peter. Lacking Haunted Ruins, I have to rely on the information in RQ2 Troll Pak, which dates the formation of the current clan to 950, but already south of the Indigo Mountains.
>The Current pathetic remnant is just a few refugees from a

This much is correct. They entered in 1562 after a crushing defeat against the Telmori.
>Close as I was able to figure it, they owned most of NE sartar (before it

They held the Division Woods, just east of Torkan's Last Fort.
David Weihe replies to my

>Submitted, hell. A lot of them were happy to assist, too.
True. These adopted the urban ways, served as mercenaries in the siege of the City of Black Glass, etc.

Yep. For one of my sessions, I wrote up how the Hendriki bandits marched to the aid of Arkat, fighting off some resistance from the lowlanders and out of the Footprint before ruining an ambush laid for Arkat by falling upon the ambushers from an unexpected direction.
I'll have to add this to my campaign page...
Peter:

>More like placing Eastern Europe under Russian control. Romania and
>Hungary were Axis allies, so they might have deserved it, but Poland?
Think of Czechoslowakia, left to Hitler by England and France after diplomatic exchanges...
>Maybe the Hendriki in this analogy are Yugoslavia, which didn't have

Makes me wonder who was Arkat in this analogy. Stalin seems to be cast with Kwaratch Kang...
Erich Schmidt seems to have explored God Forgot in some detail. Any chance of learning more aobut your campaign?
