rules for dealing with intelligent
humanoid non-human characters,
with additional information about the
rest of Ellesland, including Albion,
Ereworn, Glissom, Cornumbria, and
Thuland.
The Forests and wilderness areas of
Legend are home to all manner of
monsters, who common folk often
believe are a constant treat; as they
will steal your children, ruin your
crops, and lame your horse, unless
you protect yourself from them.
Having a non-human player
character in a standard Dragon
Warriors game is therefore
extremely difficult, and almost
impossible if set in a kingdom
dominated by 'The True Faith'.
The referee may allow players to
make non-human player characters,
but only if there is a very strong plot
driven rationale for doing so. Even
then, this option will only work if the
non-human character remains
exclusively in the wilderness, or can
be hidden or disguised in some way.
There is more scope for playing non-
humans characters if the campaign
is set in one of the more distant
kingdoms especially any that are
dominated by one of the 'Old
Religions', such as in Thuland,
Ereworn, and Glissom.
Non-human characters, whether
player characters or important NPCs
are generated by adding a 1st rank
profession template to the average
NPC statistics found in the main rule
book and in the Bestiary.

Living in the Lands
of Legend
Ellesland
Ellesland comprises of five nations:
Cornumbria, Thuland, and Glissom,
and Ereworn. The current year in
regard to the following information is
993AS (Anno Sancto, or 'In the Holy
Year').
Cornumbria
Cornumbria is a modern feudal
kingdom like Albion, but with roots
in a far older culture. The
inhabitants of Cornumbria (as well
as most of Ereworn and Glissom) are
the original native peoples of
Ellesland, who dominated the whole
4
island in ancient times, before being
forced into the fringes by the
invading Selentium Empire.
Cornumbria now follows the Church
of Cornumbria, which is based on
the 'True Faith', but is independent
from the Selentine Church.
In the more remote areas of
Cornumbria, the 'Old Faith' with its
warship of Lahmfada, Kernanu, and
Morkaan still predominates. Here,
priests are still known as druids, and
Petty Kings and their Thanes rule
their lands from their lofty hill forts.
Criggen Varras is a large
bustling city, where the High
King of Cornumbria sits.
Coronach Marsh crosses the
border between Cornumbria
and Albion. It is a treacherous
wilderness area, plagued by
snakes, and is home to
charcoal burners, peat
farmers, and outcasts.
Albion
Albion's inhabitants are decedents of
the various invaders that plagued
the land since the Selentine Empire
withdrew many centuries ago; to
defend its own boarders from
Barbarian incursions in the East.
King Hadric of Albion is a weak king,
and a poor judge of character,
whose misrule has left his ranking
nobles competing with each other
for power within Albion:
Earl Montombre (also known
as the Elfin Earl) controls land
between Jewelspider Wood
and the eastern Coast.
 Dragon Warriors
Lord Grisaille controls land in
the west, between Jewelspider
wood and Cornumbria.
Baron Aldred of Gorburn
controls the land in the north,
between Lords Montombre and
Lord Grisaille's fiefs in the
south, and Thuland.
Other places of interest in Albion
are:
Ongus is the capital city of
Albion, and from where King
Hadric rules the land.
Castorbridge is a city famous
for its university.
Clyster is a free city in Baron
Aldred's fief.
Scardic is a large country town
in Baron Aldred’s Fief.
Other notable cities in Albion
are Breylak and Netherford.
Ostelin Abbey is a Large
Monastery dedicated to the
Selentine Church.
Myrkyn's Castle is home to a
powerful and mysterious
wizard.
Coronach Marsh is a
treacherous wilderness area;
plagued by snakes, and home
to charcoal burners, peat
farmers, and outcasts.
Jewelspider Wood is a large
dense forest known to be the
home of Giant Spiders. There
are also rumours that evil
Oakmen dwell in this forest.
Brave pilgrims often travel
through the Shriven Hills to
visit the shrine of St. Stophin,
the patron saint of storms.
5
Deep within the Fenring Forest
are barrow tombs from ancient
times.
Ereworn
In the far North, the influence of law
becomes scarcer. The people of
Ereworn are mostly descended from
native Elleslanders, with a mixture of
Mercanian and Algandian blood.
The True Faith has no place in this
lawless and dangerous Kingdom, as
Ereworn's inhabitants still warship
the shadowy deities of the 'Old
Faith'.
The lords of Ereworn are either evil
or mad, and are constantly engage
in a war of subterfuge and
assassination.
The 'Clan of Harbingers' is a
secret society of assassins,
who profit from the land's
political instability. There is no
high king, and Duke Darian
claims to be Ereworn's
steward.
Castle Ereworn is the
Kingdom's seat of power, and
is now occupied by Duke
Darian.
Brigand knights roam
unchecked around the foothills
of the Pagan Mountains. It is
said that dwarves long ago
withdrew deep inside these
mountains, and avoid all
contact from human kind.

the land being as lawless as
Ereworn, with large areas plagued
by brigands, led by the bandit
'Conn', who calls himself 'The King of Thuland
the Reivers'. The people of Thuland were
originally settlers from
the Mercanian coast,
and although
wandering priests of
the 'True Faith' often
brave this hospitable
and craggy land, the
'Old Northern Faith' is
still strong in its
warship of Wotan,
Tor, and Loge.
Thulanders have a
highly developed
‘early feudal’ society,
where lords sit out the
winter in smoky
mead-halls,
surrounded by their
Housecarls, waiting
for the summer
months.
Key cities in Thuland
are Brymstone,
Beltayn, and
Katorhelm.
