The MisTy isle of

Albion

Created by Martin "Bragana Escher"Greminger,

inspired on article "Out of the Mists"by Nicodemus Kyme as appeared on o!n

Cryer #$Edited by he Mordheimer$

Shrouded by an impenetrable mist for aeons the secrets of this inhospitable countryare a mystery. But the promise of untold treasures and a powerful magic wrought by

the mystical Ogham Stones throughout the land lures the unwary and the boldest ofsea captains and treasure hunters. Brave to face the perils of the damned, the

adventurers come, some to be dashed upon the rocks or swallowed by a fog fromwhich there is no return. Others fall prey to the island itself. the rolling fens,

impenetrable forests and dark quagmires within which unmentionable creatures arespawned. Yet there is more to this place, a powerful magic, a sense of struggle of a

time to come so believe the soothsayers, and that the fate of the Old World issomehow linked to its mysteries...

Stranded on the Island

Introduction Bac* to the able of Contents

We were on our way to ustria to look out for the riches we had heard of, but our

vessel was led on a different course than intended. Within a storm, we were thrown

on the coast of an island none of us had heard before. Our ship was completelywrecked, and the weather was not at all inviting to go back on sea with the remainsof it, so we e!plored the land to see what was there and where we could find a

possibility to leave again"

o!n Cryer > to Mordheimplayers & at least in a certain !ay$ %d'entures in the setting of %lbion can be played

as ;stand&alone; games or they can form part of e7isting Mordheim campaigns$)arbands stumble across the island of %lbion by chance, enshrouded as it is from

the !orld by thic* mists$ 3erhaps they are crossing the seas as hired s!ords for asea captain pedalling goods to distant Cathay or %raby$ hey may ha'e been lured

by rumours of ancient treasures and set out on a 4uest to reco'er them only to beship!rec*ed and forced to e7plore the island$ /n any instance ?and players are

encouraged to de'ise their o!n narrati'es@ the !arbands ta*e to the seas and bypure chance disco'er %lbion, decide to e7plore, and once they ha'e gathered enough

booty, return to the Old )orld allo!ing the campaign to resume$ o fully appreciate

ad'entures in %lbion, games should be played as part of an on&going campaign inMordheim or +ustria, by any !arband and represent the !arbands e7ploring further

a field before returning to their original campaign setting$

he (ar* hado!s Campaign ?designed for )arhammer@ is placed in a later time,about #>> years after the comet;s arri'al$ %t least, you ha'e the possibility to use

%lbion, too & but it is not really enough for a full setting$ here are unans!ered4uestions !ithin that article about really playing a campaign in %lbion$ his !ritings

shall complete the setting in a certain !ay and therefore uses the one in C # as abase$ o if you !ant to use the %lbion setting completely, you are re4uired to lay

Developer's Notes Bac* to the able of Contents

)ell, the !hole thing began in =>>, !hen Games )or*shop published the!orld!ide campaign for )arhammer 6antasy Battles, !hich !as called Q(ar*

hado!sR in English$ /t came in the form of a boo*let, !hich !as sold in con-unction

!ith )hite (!arf magaine, and you could get the ?then@ limited three specialmodels, the ruthsayer, the (ar* Emissary and the 6enbeast$ / managed to get theset of all three and had the boo*let at hand, and it inspired me to transfer it into

Mordheim, so !e could do something li*e that as !ell$

o !e too* the boo*let, transferred the scenarios to a sie so they could be used in

Mordheim and -oined the campaign in our little circle, mainly !ith the e7isting

!arbands from the ruleboo* and one e7ception the Bretonnian 2ogues !arband /had !ritten some short time before ?mainly for the fun of it@$

)e played the scenarios in the boo*let, !hich left some remar*able impressions,

especially the landing, !hich !e happened to play in a real pond in the garden of

Carlo (i+eonardo, to the probable amaement of the gold fish he has in there$ heboo*let contained si7 scenarios, !hich !e adapted in 4uite an impro'ised manner ?as!e !anted to *eep pace !ith the campaign@$ But !ith the end of the campaign, it

!as all done, and the thing !as laid aside for a !hile$

8ntil they tried to sell the rest of their models a!ay !ith Mordheim, gi'ing one article

as a setting rule set$ / found this to be a 'ery cheap thing to do, but so it !as$1o!e'er, parts of the te7t and the )16B&campaign boo*let inspired me to complete

the setting for Mordheim, including a trading chart, and an e4uipment chart, and aQhomeR !arband and some characters$

ome of it !as easy to start !ith a home !arband could only be a !arband of

%lbion Nati'es, !hich !ould ha'e to be 4uite primiti'e$ hey !ould be something li*e

a Chieftain, a haman and a bunch of !arriors, !ith primiti'e !eaponry ?noblac*po!der !eapons@ and 'ery basic %rmory ?helmets and shields, and thats it@$

he lac* of technology they could use !as made up !ith additional men$

%s a result, also the (ramatis 3ersonae !ould ha'e to be Nati'es, as / sa! no !ay

ho! to -oin an %lbion Giant to a Mordheim !arband !ithout loosing the feel of theGiant$ he typical thing !ould be a lone hunter character, and in addition to this, /

created also a magic character of some interest, gi'ing them names follo!ing thebasic QdictionaryR G) had published !hile the campaign !as ongoing$ o both

names, /m %ba' 9ub as !ell as Ga Er 8nga Og, do ha'e an actual meaning or,actually, se'eral meanings follo!ing the dictionary$ he only thing / had not much of

an idea !as the spell list, so for the instant, / left that a!ay$

6inally, / began !ith the e7ploration chart$ / didnt really feel to re&design the !heel

in a ne! !ay, so those !ho ha'e read the original chart from the ruleboo* and theone from QEmpire in 6lamesR might recognise a lot of things !ith most cases, / only

chose a ne!, more appropriate title and changed the fluff coherently to get a result

!hich !as more or less the same than some!here else, basing on !hat loo*edappropriate for a setting such as this !ithout any more but the slightest hint of a

great, inborn ci'ilisation !ho lac*ed secret treasures and important ancient items$

till, it should be interesting to play$ he main goal in %lbion isnt really to ma*e a

!agonload of profit the main goal is to find a !ay to lea'e the island safely again?at least for those not playing %lbion Barbarians@$ %lso for the player, the main

reason shouldnt be to get a rich !arbandA / am highly opposed to the idea that e'enin gaming, ma*ing profit and designing streamlined, cost&efficient !or*ing units

?!arbands@ should ha'e a ma-or impact$ Of course there are some Q(osR as !ell assome Q(ontsR, but the idea of, say, a *a'en !arband, all armed !ith t!o

daggers and slings, loo*s horrible to me and is definiti'ely not designed to ha'e fun!hile playing$ But bac* to %lbion$$$

%ll the bac*ground information sho!ed the land to be e7tremely poor$ 1ence it!ouldnt be easy to gain !ealth, and it !ouldnt be easy to get certain stuff !hich

is also reflected to a certain degree in the trading chart, especially !hen it comes torarity rolls$ /ts not a land attracting a lot of people !ith the things you may dra!

from it, so 1ired !ords !ouldnt be easy to get ?apart from Nati'es@, and people!ouldnt be that easy to replace at e'ery opportunity$ On the other hand, you had to

ha'e a possibility to add ne! !arriors to your ran*s, and many !arbands can do soby adding Nati'es at the one or other gi'en point$ his led me half!ay to the chart

!ith the supply locations an empty ca'e !ould be an empty ca'e, and you canneither trade nor hire people !hen coming across nothing better than that$ But a

ca'e could as !ell be inhabited, offering possibilities to do some trading and somehiring, but not as !ell as in a 'illage or e'en in Bo!l&a&1at, the only settlement on

the !hole of %lbion the fluff mentioned being something that could be considered ato!n$ o only there you could find e'erything, and trade e'erything, as far as your

purse !ould limit you$

)ith this, / !ent on the old Mordheim forum G) ran that time$ /t earned me only

little comments, !hich in one !ay !as bad ?it caused no real critics !hat could be

made better@, and in one !ay !as good ?nobody said it !as total crap and not !ortha second loo*@, but in e'ery case !asnt really helpful at all !ith one e7ception$

Ke'in Kolbe contacted me, and !ith his help during a lot of mailing at that time, /

could add the %lbion spell chart to the !arband list and to Ga Er 8nga Og$ he spell

list is almost entirely his !or*, !ith a fe! t!ea*s / ga'e it and a bit some renaming once / had the spells as such, it didnt loo* that difficult to use the dictionary againon some of the spells$

/ also found some inspiration from the side of the people in our circle, dra!n fromremar*s such as Q/t !ould be fun if you could$$$R or Q)hy it isnt possible that$$$R,

and / tried to !or* this into the setting !here / sa! a possibility$ ome of this stuffdidnt sur'i'e the discussions !ith Ke'in later, though$

One special remar* goes to the rule of rolling a die to see !hether your !arbandmembers sur'i'e the arri'al on the island or not$ his rule found its -ustification

through the fact that !arbands in general dont see* for the island of %lbion ?the

(ar* hado!s campaign !as thought to be a lot later than QMordheim timeR@, most!ould e'en not *no! about its 'ery e7istence$ 1enceforth, landing there !ould beaccidentally, and as it is often the case, not e'eryone sur'i'es a ship!rec* this had

to be represented in my opinion, but the toll shouldnt be 'ery hea'y, and it

generally !ont$ %lthough statistically possible, / ha'e yet to see the !arband !hichis in serious problems due to that rule$ 1o!e'er, as some people ha'e said this rule

!ould be e7tremely ruinous for a !arband, feel free to lea'e it a!ay if you dont li*e

it and if you find a !ay to -ustify it that four, si7, eight, or ho! many !arbands you

might ha'e in your campaign all ha'e gone ship!rec* !ithout loosing a singlemember$

he !hole setting as such doesnt ha'e a lot to do !ith !hat ha'e been on its origin

any more the )16B campaign boo*let and our adaptations to ma*e its scenariossuitable for Mordheim scale ha'e only a slight echo in it, and it is only in the

bac*ground$ Of course !ith a bit of imagination ?and maybe a fishpond in yourgarden@ you may still play a landing scenario, though$

May your gunpo!der be protected from rain$
