Rogahn the Fearless and Zelligar the Unknown



"Many years ago, rumor has it, two noted personages in the area, Rogahn the Fearless (a fighter of renown) and Zelligar the Unknown (a magic-user of mystery and power) pooled their resources and expertise to construct a home and stronghold for the two of them to use as a base of operations. The location of this hidden complex was chosen with care, since both men disliked visitors and intruders. Far from the nearest settlement, away from traveled routes and high upon a craggy hill the new construction took shape. Carved out of the rock protrusion which crested the heavily forested hill, this mystical hideaway was well hidden, and it's rumored existence was never common knowledge. Even less well known was it's name, the Caverns of Quasqueton."  - B1 In Search of the Unknown

I really wanted to do an illustration of Rogahn and Zelligar, so here it is. Drawing mainly on imagination because I couldn't find any descriptions.  It fits in with how I see them any way.  I'm going to run the adventure for my family this weekend using the Holmes Edition of Dungeons & Dragons.

Holmes For The Holidays



I was planning on running Holmes Ed. D&D for my family this weekend.  I really want to start out with B1: In Search of the Unknown, and while doing so web searches I found a wealth of information on this one module.  I may postpone a week just so I can take in some of these extra fan-made work.  Lots of great stuff compiled on Zenopus Archives  and D&D Shack has a great map of Quasketon Tower.  I'm really not sure why the tower was mentioned in the original material but wasn't mapped out?  Then again maybe it was meant to be left up in the air.

I'm looking forward to running the B series and hope to bring in "The Keep on the Borderlands" and others in as well for the campaign.
