Dominions: Kamminer Bay

The conquered southeastern coast, held by the Heldannic Knights since AC 1010 and part of the Heldannic region of Heldland [Alm-Kamminer]. By AC 1019 the Order is in civil war, which is reshaping the whole south. Stat blocks are from the AC 1019 Almanac.

• Area: about 51,378 sq. mi. (133,069 sq. km.) under Knight control.
• Population: 42,400: Landfall 10,000, Forton 5,100, plus homesteads and Antalian-descended natives in the wilds. (Oceansend’s 45,000 lie outside Heldannic lands.)
• Languages: Thyatian (Hattian dialect, official), Heldannic, some Alphatian around Landfall.
• Coinage: Heldannic Standard (groschen = 5 gp, gelder = 1 gp, erzer = ep, markschen = sp, fenneg = cp).

• Government: military theocracy; member of the Heldannic Empire.
• Ruler: Landmeisterin Helga Schonberg of Heldland.
• Important figures: Hermann Adalard (former Landmeister of Oceansend, now a prisoner there); Thomas Stilldorfer (Landmeister of Landfall); the Grenzmarschalls Siegfried Lenz, Ulrike Bethmann, Dirk Hollweg, and Erich Barthold.
• Economy: agriculture, cattle, mining, sheep, lumber, hunting, and war.
• Flora & fauna: coastal and inland woodland and grassland; blighted, corrupting growth near the Mengul Mountains and the Denagoth plateau (vampire roses, grab grass, whipweed); sheep, caribou, moose, grizzlies, lynx, wolf packs; giants, goblinoids, lycanthropes, and sasquatch in the hills north of Landfall; red and a few white dragons from the northern mountains.
• Recent history (AC 1018-1019): the Knights backed Dikhoff around Oceansend and fought Wolkenburg and other rebels; after Landfall fell to Straßenburger’s forces, Grand Master Wulf von Klagendorf and Anna von Hendricks secured Thyatian aid, and Heldannic forces withdrew from Oceansend (keeping only Kildorkak).

The port of Landfall

Landfall has no separate AC 1019 Almanac entry; its detail comes through Heldland (above), the earlier canon, and the fan gazetteer. It is a city of 10,000 under Landmeister Thomas Stilldorfer, the old pirate-and-thieves haven [Alm-Kamminer] [CM1] [LoZ-R2R]. In the duchy’s name it is still held for Duke Lernal “the Swill” of Alpha, but it has fallen to “Straßenburger’s forces” in the Heldannic civil war and the Knights are expected to depose Lernal [Neri-TG] [LoZ-R2R]. For street-level play use JTR’s downloaded gazetteer, The Streets of Landfall [JTR-Landfall], linked from Sources, and the Landfall maps.

County of Wolkenburg

Almanac AC 1019 · wolkenb2.html

The Heldanner resistance: a free county of villages holding out against the Knights in the Finsterwald.

• Location: Brun, north of Landfall.
• Area: 2,993 sq. mi. (7,750 sq. km.).
• Population: unknown, believed 2,000 to 5,000.
• Languages: Heldannic, Thyatian (Hattian), Elvish (Shiye).
• Coinage: none; barter only.
• Taxes: none; Finsterwald folk give what help they can to the count’s forces.
• Government: an agglomeration of self-governing villages under the count’s protection.
• Ruler: Count Helmut Jaschke [Gander-Dom].
• Flora & fauna: bear, bobcat, deer, fox, wolf, and birds; rarer decapuses, giant spiders, owlbears, and griffons near the Wyrmsteeth; goblin tribes in the northern and western hills; maple, birch, poplar, elm, and evergreen, with strangle vines and archer bushes.
• Recent history (AC 1018-1019): a smaller Heldannic assault inflicted casualties but failed to drive deep into the Finsterwald; the Knights held and fortified the eastern fringe they had seized, and the Heldannic civil war makes a large invasion unlikely soon.
