Hey all
A newbie here!
I was thinkinh of dusting off my old copy of Bone Hll, converting it to 3.5 and then dropping it into Faerun?
I DM'd alot in the North, Moonsea and The Dalelands.
Any suggestions to where somewhere different location I could use that would fit?
Any background to that are would also be great!
Thanks in advance!

Bone Hill takes place on a coast, so anywhere would be good for that.
The first place I thought of though when I read your post was simply making it a small coastal village in Sembia. |
The Old Grey Box and AD&D for me! |

I love Bone Hill, an excellent sandbox module for starting up a new campaign.
Lets see: How about at the far end of Sunset Vale allied to Berdusk, or on the trade way near Candlekeep near the sea, or at the south end of Khedruns Vale and therefore nominally allied to Silverymoon but far enough away that the 'big city' doesn't loom to large in the place?
I think it is easy to drop into any place within the Realms that is just on the 'border of the civilised place nearby' (The Baron of the Stonelands new hold just north of Gnoll Pass perhaps?)

Gods, all this writing and he's running a constant fantasy version of Coronation Street in his head, too. .

Just looked at the map - the eastern end of the Dragonmere seems ideal.
Depending on how close to civilization you want it, you could place it east of Suzail itself, down the coast a tad and in the foothills, right on the mouth of Tun River, or all the way over by the Bridge of fallen men (so the town would be at a widing of the river just before it turns north). You'd have to place Restenford no matter what.
Personally, I put Restenford right where you see Valkur's Roar on This Map. Thats a 4e locale, but presumably there was an independent town there before Cormyr annexed the entire area. It used to be called Redmist, but that is quasi-canonical and has never appeared on an official map as such, so you can go ahead and call it Restenford in the 1e/2e/3e era. You just have to say those rivers are so small they do not appear on the Faerūn map (along with all the other local terrain). Its far enough out of the way to still be believable, but yet still close enough to Cormyr proper so low-lev PCs won't have to worry about larger threats (much).
Edit: Then if you move unto L2 (The Assassin's Knot), you can place Garroten somewhere in the Grittstone Moorland.
EDIT2: It should be obvious, but then you can place L3 (Deep Dwarven Delve) in the area where those foothills meet the southern tip of the Stormhorns.

Thanks folks some great Advice and ideas?
Markustay, is there any background on that area? or is it standard Cormyr stuff? |

Had another thought- The Border Kingdoms on the the southern shores of the Lake of Steam or Lapa Liiya On the Southern Shores of the Shining Sea!
Both have not been used much in the campaigns and history (too much) of Faerun!
Is there anyone out there with any background or stories I can use/adapt please!

It wasn't part of Cormyr in 1e/2e/3e, but it became part of Cormyr between 3e and 4e (and is now known as Valkur's rest). The information I got about it formally being Redmist was from a Neverwineter Nights game, and I am not sure if Brian was aware of that and giving the lore a nod, or if it was just by chance he happened to place the 4e locale where the non-canon VG material was located in earlier times.
THIS is some of the unofficial VG material, as well as THIS. Just google Redmist and Valkur's roar and you'll find a whole forum dedicated to the region (and those servers). I've already tried asking BRJ about it in his thread but he's yet to respond. As far as I know, there is nothing on Valkur's roar, and what little we have on Redmist is from the NWN guys. This is why it would be ideal for pasting the Lendore isle material onto that region. |
