Myranor
Myranor is a fictional continent in the pen and paper role-playing game The Black Eye .
Development history and description
The campaign world Myranor was only introduced by Fantasy Productions in 2000, but had already appeared in some publications years before under the name Güldenland and was announced several times.
On January 20, 2006, a revision of Myranor was released as a hardcover volume, which not only presents the old texts of the 2000 box in a revised form, but also brings new texts and adapts the rules of the continent to the future rules of the role-playing game Das Schwarze Auge , but is compatible and needs the rules from "Swords and Heroes". This allows players to play on both continents without having to deal with new regulatory mechanisms.
On October 27, 2006 Fantasy Productions announced that from January 2007 Ulisses Spiele will take over the license for Myranor. However, the DSA authors Jörg Raddatz and Heike Kamaris remain in charge , as does the DSA editor-in-chief Thomas Römer . From 2009 to 2017, Myranor was published under a sub-license by Uhrwerk Verlag . Then the license went back to Ulisses as sole owner.
The continent of Myranor is much larger than Aventuria . The name is a self-designation of its residents.
In contrast to the continent of Aventuria, where only classic fantasy races such as elves , dwarfs , orcs , goblins and trolls exist in addition to lizard people, Myranor is home to numerous mixed races such as cat people and other mythical beings. The Myranor game system provides specific data on Güldenland - as the Aventurians call Myranor.
Its cultures also differ significantly from those of Aventuria. There is the empire, an old empire that has existed for several thousand years and from which the dominant culture of the Middle Kingdoms and Horasians in Aventuria is derived. The people who lived in Aventuria before the Myranian colonization were also influenced, but indirectly first by the Horasic and then by the Middle Kingdom rule. The culture of the Thorwals also derives from a Myranic culture, namely from the Hjaldingers living in northern Myranor.
There are also lands of felid (feline) creatures and much more undiscovered.
As so often in the DSA system, there is also a similarity with earthly places and cultures: Myranor often contains earthly borrowings from Asia and Indonesia , as well as partly from antiquity .
geography
Myranor is the largest continent in the Dere game world . It extends from the northern to the southern polar ice, the known area of the continent has a width of 5000 miles, a total of twice as high is assumed. All climate zones are represented. A network of rivers flowing into one another covers the country. Myranor lies west of Aventuria, separated by the Thalassion (Aventurian: Sea of the Seven Winds). The 2000 years ago, built by God Efferd Efferdwall prevent the crossing of the sea by ships myranische while Aventurian Güldenlandfahrern is possible.
countries
The greatest realm of the known Myranor is the Empire . The first empire was founded by the Archaeans around 4800 years ago . In its heyday it encompassed the entire known continent, but collapsed when the pure-bred Archaeans suddenly died out after around 1500 years and only those descendants in which the blood of the ancients is weakest survived. They became the Optimates , a class of aristocracy gifted with magic. A few centuries later they created the second empire, which in the course of time extended over a large part of the continent, but had to grant independence to several countries in the last millennium.
The empire is divided into Horasiate . Era 'Sumu is a big island. This is where the cradle of mankind is to lie. Satu priestesses live in this land. They are considered healers and belong to the House of Icemna. The Horasiat Cantera is located on the sea of the floating islands and its metropolis Balan Cantara is a huge city and also the oldest in the empire. The Horasiat Xarxaron is run by magicians who look down on non-magicians. They form the wall against the Draydal. Tharpura , the southernmost Horasiat, is officially the domain of Thearchen, but an Amaunic upper class rules over the human population in his name. The former Horasiat Koromanthia is a land of anarchy. In the jungle country of Makshapuram , the Amaunir rule over the people. Human priests of the snake gods rule on the islands of the Shindrabar archipelago. The former Horasiat Rhacornos is now ruled by the Leonir. One of the empire's greatest enemies are the Draydal, a people who worship the skull god (one of the forms in which the Aventurian nameless god is worshiped in Myranor). Their land is a barren place that they exploit mercilessly.
