Hârn is a good campaign setting: Kaldor

In this first chapter delving deeper into one of Hârn's kingdoms, we look at the overall geographic outlook of Kaldor. What is this place? How big is it, and how big is it relative to the rest of Hârn?

very sad you haven't made any Harn videos recently. I bought Harn in the 80s and always felt that it was the best. I love it. I know this comment is 5 months late. but, had to say it. I love Harn.

I've been Harn curious for years or decades but haven't properly stepped in. Now I decided to get pdfs and started from Kaldor, Tashal, Gardiren, Silver Way etc. The pdf's are prohibitively expensive but of course the quality is super high.

Thanks for the cool video! I really appreciate the Britain /Harn comparison.

Thanks for this video I have been playing Hárn for decades it's one of my favourite settings

Well I will probably not be able to back your Patreon for a few weeks, but I am looking forward to it.

Harn is a setting I have long liked in theory, but never really worked with. I have read about it but went no further. That quality of open space is what is most appealing in any setting. It is rare I invest in a setting more than its basic setting guide. As a content writer of 30 years I prefer some conflict suggestions, a few NPCs, and geography.

I really enjoy your Harn and Traveller videos. So happy to see you are covering Harn again!

[shaldlay]

I can’t wait for more episodes. Would Tharda be next?

[abstractbybrian]

Those two maps @3:56 where are those from?

[derekburge]

Vital question yet unanswered, noble scribe: what fallen empire(s) is Kaldor built upon?

[AnthonyEmmel]

I prefer either Rethem or the Republic myself, but good video.

[PhilRezanow]

Why Kaldor over the other options? I'm an old man, new to Harn, and curious where to start building my campaign.

[freddaniel]

Do you have any comment on more "historical" settings like Pendragon or Dark Albion?

[bluebird]

We had a Kaldor but it is a dollar tree store now

[henrykorvus]

Excellent presentation. Kaldor, with Pathfinder 2 Playtest ruleset?, thoughts?

[pappabear]

I don’t like that it’s landlocked. I have a home brew campaign which was settled long ago by people of another continent. I want to use Harn as that mother continent but am thinking of using Kanday.

[seanhillman]

Good stuff. Will be sure to kick some duckets over when I can.

[SSNewberry]

Not to put too fine a point on it Danes = Ivinia, Danelaw = Orbaal

[cadengrace]

I like the presentation but you get several of the nouns and pronoun pronunciations incorrect.

Avael for instance is not AVAIL. It is AH-VAY-EL. If we assume that these elves are travelers on the way into the west from Middle Earth, this language is Quenya and that means the name of Avael is translated into the Forbidden Elf Land.

You pronounce Khuzdul as Kud zool. In the Dwarrow speak it is pronounced CUZ-dool, and you might hear CAZ-dool dropping the H sound. But that would depend on which Dwarves you were speaking too, west or east of the Misty Mountains.
