I'm running a 4e game set in 1388, the Year of the Tanarukka.
As a result, I'm looking for as much information on the Tanarukk as I can find. I've found the entry for them in Races of Faerun 3.5.
Is there any other information on them anywhere, and has anyone already done some homebrew translation of them as monsters or PCs to 4e that they'd like to share?

I myself am thinking of a way to incorporate them into my campaign now myself. My players havent seen them yet and it should keep them on thier toes. As far as the Fey'Ri.......fantastic. BTW Sage, are you going to open the store again? |

As I recall, it was Eric Boyd who invented the fey'ri. |

Tannarukka does sound better.
Glad you created them - who created the Fey'ri?  |

I'll confess I just wanted something different to infest the ruins of Hellgate Keep and figured slightly-fiendish fire-resistant orcs who could manipulate PCs' watchfires would be different enough from the norm....

who still grumbles they took away the alternate plural spelling of tanarukka he prefers over tanarukks |

They surrounded my party for about a year of real time. Couldn't get out of our keep. REALLY annoying lil bastards. :) |

Didn't Kaanyr Vhok and his horde also feature in another novel immediately after the WotSQ (which I found odd - it's as if two authors used the same group at the same time, and then they had to 'fix it' afterwards by speading it out a little - at least thats how it felt to me).
It may have been in The Last Mythal series, or that newer one featuring his pet succubus, Aliisza (The Emperyean Idiocy? ). I haven't read either of those, so it could even be both for all I know - I just remember hearing something else about them after the events in WotSQ.
Edit: Just checked Wiki (at least it's good for something) - it was The Emperyean Odyssey. |

Ah, excellent find, I'm guessing this is the canon reason for the year's name, will serve as good inspiration for my changes. |

yeah, they could be but nobody ever really used them for anything. |

I think they're a neat concept; I've just never really thought of anything to do with them. |

The first appearance that I recall of the tanarukk is in the module, of AD&D, Hellkeep Keep. |
