Velhara's Mirror

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Beast Valley is under attack. Ancient magic that for centuries protected the region has faltered and its enemies bite deep into the heartland. It is not just one foe, but many, and they fight equally amongst themselves as against the beast men. Perhaps it is from this disorder that hope will spring for the beast men, or will it lead to chaos and destruction for all.

It is 1627. The strategically important Beast Valley is centerstage in the machinations of its neighbours. The delicate balance of allegiances, informal agreements and old loyalties start to unravel as a power vacuum left by the weakening beast men draws each side closer to conflict.

Velhara’s Mirror follows on from The Ruins of Bonn Kanach and forms part two of the Beast Valley campaign, however it can be used as a stand alone resource. The booklet has three main sections:

  • a description of each of the relevant factions listing their relationships with the others,
  • a collection of six scenario seeds indicative of the challenges that engulf Beast Valley,
  • and a complete adventure Velhara’s Mirror, a HeroQuest hunt for the affections of the goddess Velhara.

The goal for the game master is to set the stage whereby the adventurers are compelled to commit to one or more factions and make full use of Loyalty, Devotion and Hate Passions to drive home the adventurers connections and conflicting motivations.

Hi Adrian, the titular scenario could be played in one evening, but it would be best to stage each scene between ongoing adventures. The first half of the book provides a framework for adventuring in Beast Valley so a GM could pace this out to several sessions tailoring each adventure to their own group.

I was thinking about doing it for a Con session, so it would be a stand alone.

Hi Adrian, while I'm sure you could adjust the scenario to run at a con, it's format may not be best suited to what players expect a conventions.

Hi Michael,
thanks for your input, it's at Continuum if that makes any difference, but I think I will try something else and get this when I start my own game proper! Or sooner if I have the spare cash.

Thanks very much, good luck with sales, though I am sure you don't need it.
A.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
