The Stone Circle

-

  Heiligsheld was not always called such. In 2155 Imre Jenz a veteran of the battle of Hel Fenn, died defending the sacred stone circle off in the forest from followers of chaos. Imre was already well respected in the village but when he managed to kill Grazak The Unclean a champion of Nurgle and later died of his wounds, the villagers, so grateful for his sacrifice at both Hel Fenn and right here in the village decided to rename the village in his honour. Since this renaming was never sanctioned by the Emperor, it is not official which no doubt goes some way to explaining why Imperial cartographers have not placed it on any maps. The stone circle is a site holy to Rhya, or as the villagers refer to her, The Mother. Rhya is the wife of Taal, (another of the villagers favoured deities) mother of Manann, Morr, and Verena.   Those who worship her view Rhya as the deity of fertility, childbirth and the family. The Stone Circle predates the village and not much is known about it. W...

Why do I Like Oldhammer and what even is Oldhammer?

I think for me with most oldhammery type stuff, it is the buy in factor, which in turn is influenced by the look/style. I want to believe the things I see, they should make sense and have a logical purpose. There needs to be internal consistency with any setting or the setting itself is not to be believed.  The Townscape buildings being a perfect example, I can very easily believe that people would build them: The fortified manor is just a bit too toy like and too high fantasy for me. This Skull Tower model; no chance: Yet this Skull Hill; yes: But why, they both have mad big skullz?! I think I like a feel of WFRP 1st edition to my WFB. WFRP really brought the world to life and I prefer that version to the WFB take on it. I find it to be more about context. Quality over quantity. The Skull Tower and The Skull Hill to me appear as two very different ideas, executed in two different styles. For me it comes down to buy in, if someone asked me to place the models ...

The Stocks Inn

-
Image
  Sabine and Mikael Stockhausen purchased the inn when they moved to the village just over a decade ago. Sabine was employed by one of the larger moneylenders in Nuln and Mikael was a former trader, they decided they wanted a simpler quieter life for them and their daughter Lottie. They had enough funds to go pretty much anywhere in the Empire and when they heard about an innkeeper wanting to sell up and retire they leapt at the chance. The Stocks Inn however is not its original name. It was since its building over 200 years ago known as The Wicker Man. For the longest time, the yard in the inn was where criminals were held in stocks until a roadwarden came to take them away to Leicheberg to face trial. However when the barracks for the Counts men was built in the village proper, criminals were held there instead as they seemed to miraculously escape less frequently. (some say vanish is a better word) As such the stocks became unused and languished propped up against the ...
