• After a year's sabbatical (in the deserts of Kuwait), a new adventure is ready.  Campaign V continues from Kansas, though we begin a new chapter, with new heroes and new adventures.  To prepare for this, a number of pages were expanded and enlarged -- primarily those dealing directly with the new chapter, set in Kashin, Rakore.  Chapter 5 introduces some new people to Gaeleth, as well as bringing back some familiar faces.  One can recognize Edition 3.5 of Dungeons and Dragons by the black background; all such changes took place in 2003-2004.
• Reworked all of the gods of Gaeleth, and added Xynosalionisis -- the God of Memories.
• Updated the Princess Sword, a legendary item.
• Put up the racial stats and translations for Gaeleth, which included translations of the drow and drow'ari.  This allowed for the addition of the different orc types:  frost orcs, sand orcs, rock orcs, and bog orgs.  Also added the duergar of Gaeleth, as well as all the separate human sub-types (Amarans, Chilleans, Slates, Destanae, and Sholin).
• Finally published the over arcing storyline -- the Master Plan history for Gaeleth.
• Rebuilt the House Rules for 3.5 and the new campaigns.

• Posted Paul Watson's character, Bjarne Bearstrider -- a human barbarian.
• Altered and updated the paladins, to incorporate a code for paladins to live by.
• Created a new character race, based off of a concept from Caren Boyd, called the Ticata -- a sort of centaur-like, half-fox, half-feline.
• Reworked the special metals page.
• Crafted a prestige class for druid-sorcerers that use the bow -- the Cadyran.
• Added a new piece of fiction, called Prat's War, about the invasion of Rakore by the Ogre Nations -- and 'other things'.
• Updated and changed my Author's Info, and related pages.
• Altered the Castle Rezjomon entry, to reflect its status in the Dragon Nations.
• Craft a new template -- the Seeker -- for the Inquisition.

• Posted the long-awaited information regarding Gaeleth's Towers.
• Also published the history of the Karatikan Alliance.

(The primary purpose was to put in the regional feats.)
• Editted the History and Calendar of Gaeleth.
• Rebuilt the Rakoran files of Hallis Island, Rilan, and Lok Magius.
• Altered the NPC page for (ahem!) DM reasons.
• Had to update Mistress Brin of the Mages' Academy.

• Added the Hand of Storms magical item -- a spiked gauntlet with some shocking qualities.
• Fixed or worked on: SoulSuck spell, as well as Prayer Shield, Detect Iron, and many more.
• Consolidated the information about the Sea of Kiriath into one site.
• Crafted a new spell at Tristan's suggestion -- Armor of Thorns, as a part of the new Retribution domain, and as a general, 2nd-level defensive/attack spell for sorcerers and wizards.
• Added Norion's Concussive Blast as a new 2nd-level spell.
• Put in Gil Lyle's spellbook. (Not for PC perusal until further notice, as it contains campaign-sensitive information.)
• Placed a new prestige class by Tristan Key, the Rikishi, based upon the sumo warriors of old.
• Created a 'new' domain for Gaeleth's clerics -- retribution. Several gods received the domain in the change:  Yatindar, K'Tath', Phelor, and Rahne.
• Translated the Shadow Guardian prestige class to v3.5.

• Posted the recap to the latest session -- mission 18 of Campaign V.
• Fixed some bugs that became apparent in the Thriblade and Torch of Xoriah prestige classes.

• Posted the stats on Rial Mhenace -- the architect and engineer of Gideon Enterprises.

• Brandy sent me a letter all the way from Oklahoma, where she's undergoing training. Even though unable to join us in the campaign, she sent a letter Jena had written to Cleo. Now all I have to do is figure out when it reaches the party!

30OCT02

• Harry-Mac sent me a new letter, to go with Cleo's thoughts.
• For those of you that have been keeping up with the campaign, the Search for Al Mudim module has grown to eight chapters, and currently encompasses a progression of 1st- to 5th-level characters. Players, keep your mitts out of the module. The rest of you, might want to check all the updates within the module.

26OCT02

• Posted a new journal on the site, for the current campaign. Lucian is the group's arcane firepower, and his story, thoughts, and history are all condensed into a myriad of short little stories.

21OCT02

• Posted the update to the current campaign -- and man was it a messy mental session.
• Changed the House Rules a bit, so that new characters can generate more in-depth characters. Special thanks to Todd Antill for this concept.

01OCT02

• Added a number of updates from the current Campaign V, to include:
• Posted Mac's update for Seamus' Journal.
• Missions 7, 8, and 9 -- a three day blitzkrieg of Dungeons and Dragons for Brandy, before she left for Fort Sill and a month of training at PLDC. The campaign will continue in her absence, and these sessions give us an opt for bowing her character out during that time that few could have imagined in the beginning: Jena is pregnant.
• Updated all of the current character's stats and sheets.

30SEP02

• Added a template to the ships section for Ghost Ships.

24SEP02

• Thanks to a question from a fellow in Manhattan, Kansas, I've added a page that details the making of the maps.

• Added a new item, related to the current campaign -- Kithir al Ye'amen -- a ring with which to find new members of a quest.

04AUG02

• Chapter Four of Campaign V has begun. The latest campaign revolves around the Search of Al Mudim, an ancient artifact whose power rivalled the Godslayer sword -- though no one seems to know just what it is. The Search for Al Mudim should become an epic-level saga of good versus evil. But it could turn into a PC squashing if something goes wrong.
• Oh, yeah -- Happy Birthday, Pam!

26MAY02

• Posted Wuron S'fa -- the Dragon Nation -- and all related notations and changes, to include a short diatribe on the dragons of Gaeleth.

08MAY02

• Posted something that got stuck in my head, after reading CJ Sherryh's short-story, "The Scapegoat." Harry Turtledove's editted a book entitled, "The Best Military Science Fiction of the 20th Century." It lives up to the name. "Keep Going".

03MAY02

• Added the thirteenth and final installment of Chapter Three, from the current campaign. It's the end of a long and hard-fought road, and a sad good-bye to Dan and Diego. We'll miss you, guys.
• Posted the Castle Rezjommon, as an add-on to the final installment of the current campaign chapter. Castle Rezjommon -- a floating castle, powered by the souls of the damned, and infested with golems that can drive a man insane...

10APR02

• Back from sabbatical -- and a trip to the Mojave Desert for a month. Made some minor changes throughout all the pages, and finished up some loose ends. Added the twelfth installment of the current campaign, chapter two -- as well as posting a pic of the guys. Also posted a long-awaited breakdown on the clerics of Gaeleth, and how they work.

04FEB02

• Listed Garalus, the Chosen of Phelor, as an NPC. Garalus is the head of the Church of Phelor on Gaeleth, and as such, represents an historic place in the archives of all religious libraries.

28JAN02

• Posted the Disciple and Chosen templates for Gaeleth.

2001
08DEC01

• Did the background and detail work on the Mule Mountains of Halganath, to include Tugren's Tower, the Order of Devon, and the Clan of the Hoar Frost.
• Redesigned the Gaeleth main page to reflect the campaigns, and reorganized that page to make accessing the current campaign a bit easier.
• Added encounter tables (by Hit Die) for the jungles and undead of Gaeleth.
• Added a separate science page, for those who need the nitty-gritty on how Gaeleth works.

10NOV01

• Issued a major revision to a more art-intensive page, intended to bring in more people and more interest, thanks to the help of the resident artist, Diego Dasilva. Be sure and check out his galleries; updates for both HTML pages and new pics will be maintained. I won't list all the little changes that have taken place since the last update to make the pages flow more easily, but stay tuned.
• Our showcase page is Phoenix, a Player Character whose HTML codeing and graphics will hopefully stand as the example for all future endeavors.

28OCT01

• After purchasing a scanner, I managed to squeeze in some of the pics I took from my rotation to the National Training Center at Fort Irwin in California, from mid September to mid October. Seems like forever ago, since I updated the page.
• Posted the encounters tables to give DM's a guide to the standard run-ins on Gaeleth.

12SEP01

• Posted five new Player Characters for a new mini-campaign I'm running. These guys have never played 3rd Edition before, and this gives them an opportunity to showcase their role-play skills to a new Dungeon Master, as well. Joining us are Paul Watson, Michele Anderson, Tom Jahr, and Brandy and Philip "Mac" McPherson, with special guest appearances by Diego Dasilva. Each of the five is playing a separate class to get a better feel for things, and they're playing, in order, a dwarven fighter named Helcar, an elven ranger named Aerlyn, an elven druid named Kerith, a halfling sorceress named Seraphina, and an elven monk named Artimus. I wish them all the best of luck in the new campaign.
• Added a new spellbook for the campaign, that of Tugren Halbot, a hermit that lived in the Mule Mountains during the early days of the Inquisition.

01SEP01

• Posted Sam, the 'Black Rock Merc'. Played by Diego Dasilva, Sam has a certain character that lends himself well to the campaign.
• Also posted the second mission for the current campaign, The Silent Battles.
• Fixed a few minor bugs in the 'nations' section. FYI, for those of you who didn't know, extreme details are available of the primary nations in which we play, and I intend to add more as the list expands. Current nationalities for campaigns include: Rakore, Vridara, the Alekdan Principalities, the Ogre Nations, and Kur Maeth.

14AUG01

• Added a new campaign character: Cali-bras, as played by Diego Dasilva. Cali-bras is an elven paladin of Phelor that, while not too bright, more than makes up for it in heart.
• Did some minor editting and corrections of the Var Gauf.
• Updated the DM Data in Gaeleth to reflect the new, current campaign, so watch the spoilers, guys.

10AUG01

• Added the fearsome Var Gauf -- also known as the Seekers -- to the list of prestige classes availabe on Gaeleth. Incidentally, they are also available on Jazed, and are perhaps the only class capable of casting arcane magic on that world.
• Updated the city of Kashin, in Rakore.
• Posted data on the halflings of Gaeleth. Up until this point, I had disallowed them as a player race, perhaps more because of 2nd Edition feelings towards them, but also from a 'realism' perspective.

08AUG01

• Added three new campaign characters: Travis, played by Adam Montgomery, Faeradd, played by Ed Shearer, and Phoenix, played by Theresa Shearer. Together, this team of a half-elven paladin, a gnomish illusionist, and an elven druid started off a new chapter in Campaign V: The Silent Battles.
• Posted the general campaign information relating to all paladins on the world of Gaeleth.

2AUG01

• Added some original notes on Campaign I: The War of the Undead.

30JUL01

• Posted the prestige classes of the Disciples, and the Chosen. These are Gaeleth-specific classes, and not intended for use elsewhere because of the incredible abilities they give priests.

29JUL01

• Added a special section for Dungeon Masters intent on running for Gaeleth.
• Translated Grimwoth's Chain Hauberk from 2nd to 3rd-Edition. The hauberk is a suit of golden chain mail that not only protects the wearer, but deals damage to attackers.
• Posted the history of the Storm Wars
• Posted the history of the Inquisition
• Posted the history of the War of the Undead
• Added the goings on of the current campaign, Campaign V: The Silent Battles, which includes my Dungeon Master's notes, recaps, storylines, module components, and more.

18JUN01

• Added a new Player Character, a human tiefling that looks like a half-elf, by the name of Hone. He joins us via Lars Sorenson, of Fort Riley, Kansas.

06JUN01

• Translated the longsword 'Bloodlust' from 2nd to 3rd Edition. Bloodlust is one of those cursed swords that's almost worth having.

31MAY01

• Posted a background story for the current campaign -- Campaign V. When Gaeleth, and the SisterWorlds, came into existence back in '96, I never imagined where it would take me. My writing style's improved a bit, and my story-telling's improved even more. Each campaign has taken place in a different locale, from Texas to Alabama, and the Republic of Korea, to Kansas. Campaign V has helped to fill out more of Gaeleth, and its premier nation, Rakore, than I would have thought possible. It's been nine years, campaign time, since my first Player Character walked the forests of a then wild land. The four PCs that brave Rakore now, do so with a wealth of background set down by other campaigns. And one day, others will build upon what they have created in this story.

08MAY01

• Posted the item known as Carbonar -- a longsword dedicated to Habrem, the Goddess of Music.

07APR01

• Between military deployments and the breakup with a fiancee, the last few months've been hell on this site. But there's always hope.
• Posted the Third Edition translations of the Tomanths, everyone's favorite NPC.
• Posted the NPC page, and the first vict -- uhm -- volunteer, Arkumil Despot, the premier Master Thief of the west.
• Put up the stats on my PCs for Campaign V, Realms of Predjudice.

05FEB01

• Updated the list of gods, and updated and added two new ones -- Argunas, the Demon God, and Mazripos, the Rot Goddess.

21JAN01

• Relocated a lot of the fiction unrelated to the SisterWorlds, to Khavik's folder. Looking into modifying a lot of the weapons styles; Renshai pointed out some /serious/ bugs, though Nariko'nae style seems to be a keeper.

14JAN01

• Added most of the weapons styles common to the Gaeleth campaigns. Each weapons style can be considered a feat, and many of them are cumulative, resulting in devestatingly effective feats -- while at the same time maintaining game play and balance.

2000
31DEC00

• Added a story entitled, "The Lady Shore", highlighting a set of ruins found in the Dorinoc Forests. The story may serve as the foundation for a 3E module if enough people are interested.

28DEC00

• Translating information from 2nd-Edition to 3rd takes time, but for those who were impatient -- or just wanted background information -- the old 2nd-Edition site was added in its entirety. Some images and links may not work, but 95% of the data was reinstated, as per the demand. The link can be found on the main page, in the left-hand margin...

24DEC00

• Added two new items to Gaeleth's page: the 7 rings of Alibazcar, and the ring of images.

11DEC00

• Posted the base stats on the Srik, one of the deadliest insects on all of Gaeleth.
• Posted the Battlerager prestige class.

24NOV00

• Posted info on the drow, as well as other general racial information on Gaeleth.
• Posted the Encyclopedia Gaelica; though incomplete, it gives more detailed listings of specific entries.
• Posted the calendar of events on Gaeleth, as well as the established methods of keeping track of the days and months. An XL '97 spreadsheet is included.
• Posted the falling skill, which allows characters to survive greater falling damage, both intentional and accidental, to the Gaelethic world.
• Posted several PC References, such as Gideon Enterprises, and the spellbooks of Lok Magius.
• Posted the craft poison skill, which allows characters to create various poisons.

15NOV00

• Posted 'SisterWorlds.com', hosted by NetQuest. Information translated from 2nd Edition Dungeons and Dragons to 3rd Edition included on the page. Hosting transferred from GeoCities because of embedding problems. Untranslated (2nd Edition) information available upon request.
