Does anyone know if Cromm's Hold and Redhand Keep are different names for the same location? I believe it was first refered to in Under Illefarn as Redhand Keep, the stronghold of Baron Cromm Redhand. In Ghosts of Dragonspear Castle a sight that is in approximately the same location is referred to as Cromm's Hold. I can't find a definitive connection, but they sure seem like the should be connected.

Redhand Keep is the correct name. It belonged to Baron Cromm. Arguably you could say Cromm's Hold is the name of the area surrounding Redhand Keep.

Seeker perlmugp,

I looked into Under Illefarn and it came back as Cromm's hold. The only part in the module I could find a reference to Redhand, was the following:

quote:
7. Baron Cromm Redhand has been hunting dinosaurs (and maybe lizard men) in the Lizard Marsh. (0)


It seems that perhaps Cromm was his first name, and Redhand his last, but I can't find anything that says that definitely. I've looked around and there is little on it.

Eric, out of curiosity, what tome did you find that info in? :)

Best regards,



Higher Atlar
