Feb 04, 2009 22:36:33 Hey all -

As I am still fairly new to the Realms (compared to many of you, of course!) and far more experienced with the Dragonlance and Ravenloft settings... in your best opinions, where would the minotaur-centric lands be? I have not seem much clear indication of this in either the FRPG or the FRCS.

Thanks!

Feb 04, 2009 22:38:43 You are right... there's nothign in the campaign guide point that out. i made mine from Durpar. Lots of monsters running around there.

Feb 04, 2009 22:54:04 The only reference I can find in either the FRCG or the FRPG is on page 85 of the FRCG: "The Great Gray Land of Thar remains a desolate breeding ground for orcs, ogres, and minotaurs." [Thar is north of the Moonsea].

The Beastlands is also a possibility, though there's no background specific to that area (I agree with Dragon9 that Durpar would work)...

Feb 05, 2009 6:44:26 The Vilhon Wilds is also an area that is wild, untamed and thoroughly spellplagued... there are doubtless Minotaurs there too... my Orc comes from there! :D

However... you'll probably find that the biggest Minotaur settlements will be in some area that doesn't have a player background available... it'll probably turn up in a CORE module sometime.

Feb 05, 2009 16:30:39 I'm a bit disappointed that I couldn't have my Orc come from the kingdom of Many-Arrows.

Nor actually worship an Orc god.

Ah well.

Luruar is close but not exactly the same.

"Me from Luruar. Northern Luruar. Really, really northern Luruar. Borders not so clear up there." ;)
