Armoury of the Desert Kingdom
The desert of Khôm is a hostile place, crossed by hospitable nomads and camel caravans laden with magically powerful artefacts. The Novadis, desert warriors on noble steeds, rule in tribes over the lands of the Caliph, who unites them among themselves as one people in the belief in Rastullah, the one-god of the tent. On the peaks of the mountains of the desert kingdom dwell barbarians who worship blood and passion. In the fertile valleys of Thalusia, poor rice farmers and rebels wrestle with the tyranny of their rulers.
When a Novadi solemnly receives his eternal companion, the Waqqif dagger, after his Amadah maturity test, a hero is often born as a result. With Kefter Jadra and Mherweder Doppelkhunchomer, clan warriors head out into the desert to chase primeval ruins, tales of jinns and the shadows of a new, great threat. Stone tablets with messages from ancient times bring together wizards of the Caliph and Mawdlis for research over tea made from the finest porcelain cups, while Ferkina shamans drink blood from sacred chalices on vision quests. Sickles and jitten are sharpened and hidden behind silk veils as night falls over the valleys in Thalusia, and somewhere on the horizon a star winks at the Mautaban as he plunges towards the desert realm.
The Desert Realm Armoury presents weapons, armour and other equipment typical of the Novadian Caliphate, Thalusia and the Ferkinas. In addition to survival essentials such as the Sunshield Veil, it contains magical artefacts such as the Star Sword Esravun of Mautaban and the Thousand-Year Two-Handed Sword, as well as sacred talismans such as Rasha’s Blood Chalice and the Veil of Mist. A mystery feature on weapons in the dawning Age of Vengeance as well as detailed background information on caravans and related adventure ideas round off the volume.
This volume supplements the regional game aid The Desert Realm with extensive and generally applicable rules for the special items of the region. Knowledge of the rulebook and the Aventurian Almanac is assumed.
