Hi,

While all DMs get to make interesting NPCs, only the BR DM really gets to make his own domains.

I find it immensely fun to write up new and interesting domains, small or large, for use with my BR games. Some replace existing domains as guilds get crushed, chrches og out of favor or realms are rent asunder by war and intrigue. Others grow from humble beginnings to become powers in their own right. And some I simply squeeze into the tiny gaps between existing domains.

I'm surely not the only one who does new domains, and I'd I'd like to hear some of other DM's favourite new domains (or perhaps re-writes of old ones).

Here are some of my favourites (all in Anuire I'm afraid). I'll go into more detail if this thread lead anywhere:

The Wardens - A group of rangers and druids (some with elven blood) that protects the Erebannien. They control law, guild, temples and a few sources in the Erebannien, and have some law and guild outside the forest as well.

The Knights of Haelyn - Located in Endier. Controls some of the law there. Aligned with the WIT. Later they ally with the OIT, and when COunt Kalien goes missing the take over his holdings, making it a very wealthy order (it's kind og Knight Temmplarsish).

The ruler of Ghoere is killed by three of his allies: Ghorien Hiriele, the Sword Mage and General Merran Daulton, his chief general. They split Ghoere three ways - into separate realms, but ones that cooperate against external threaths.
Duchy of Ghieste & HOT - Ghorien takes the three wwestern provinces and tries to recreate the Duchy of Ghieste. With his guild he is immensely wealthy.
Duchy of Dhalaene - Daulton gets to keep most of the law and the castles and the army. He also gets Dhalaene (the capital) and the two provinces next to Roesone
Duchy of Tornilen - The Sword Mage makes himself a "Duke" of the three northwestern provinces, but keep controlof soruces throguht old Ghoere.

The Iron Rider - The two Swamp mages of Osoerde turn out to be a man and a woman, and when they settle their differences they become the Sworn Lovers. They turn their arts to supporting Duke Raenech and the priests of Belinik. They are later defeated by a cabal of good mages. In the power vacuum left rises a new power - the Iron Rider. A chivalrous knight/sorcerer that rides a magical metal horse.

To the BRCS/Atlas people: Maybe this is outside the scope of your work, but it would have been nice if you added something new ;-)
