Mind Your Manors

Dive into the intricate world of Harn as we explore the latest updates in HarnQuest Q2. Join host Kerry Dolan and guests Rick Ivansek and Brent Bailey for an in-depth breakdown of new occupation articles, settlements, and maps. Whether you are a long-time fan of the setting or a Game Master looking for realistic medieval inspiration, this episode covers everything you need to enhance your tabletop campaign.
We begin with a massive 14-page exploration of the Masons Guild. The team discusses the deep research that went into this article, from the specific terminology of stonecutting to the realities of medieval construction sites. You will learn about the seasonal nature of masonry work and how to incorporate specialized NPCs like the master masons of Dyrisa into your story. We also look at the included quarry expansion, providing practical tools for GMs to bring a working construction yard to life.
The conversation then shifts to the settlement of Cosyuh Keep in Melderyn. This 18-page article offers a unique perspective on the role of a Sheriff in the Harn setting, focusing on non-hereditary appointments and the complex legal systems of the Shire Courts. We also dive into the expansion for the Hooded Raven Inn, which hides a fascinating mystery involving an ancient cult and a local secret society.
To wrap up, we check out the latest Atlas Harnica maps for the Horadir region. This episode is packed with world-building lore and adventure hooks designed to make your game world feel more authentic and lived-in.
