Not to mention ambassadors "puling out the axe, I am going to make my vow" infront of the Phoenix King helped much.
[Albion]
What was the resolution of the Albion campaign back in 2001? What would it's current state be in terms of occupation?
I'm coming up with ideas of where to set a map based campaign, a return to a part of Albion seems most feasible due to the players' armies. I'm yet to think of a reason for the setting, but knowing what its current state is would help.
Good guys won but only barely.
The Island is divided between Orcs in the south, Dark Elves in the West, Empire in the East and Lizardmen in the North.
Just as a suggestion if you wan't to have a campaign why not base it on the Wight Island of the coast of Albion. It might not be Albion but is still a big place to fight a war.
[Albion]
And there are some magic items for the Dark Elves, High Elves, Empire and Dwarfs.
That's what they should teach us here, he thought, turning over on to his side, how girls' brains work ... it'd be more useful than Divination, anyway.

Actually, the Lizardmen AB details that Kroq-Gar purged the island of warm-bloods, and Albion is fast becoming a lush jungle thanks to Mazdamundi's Geomancy.

This question came up in the rumour boards recently, and is something I've always been curious about...
Is Joseph Bugman still alive? Or more specifically... When was Bugman's Brewery destroyed?
I've always wondered if there was an existing answer to this. I've been unable to locate any reference in any of the three generations of Dwarf Armybooks... however, I've never yet owned an Empire armybook and since Bugman's Brewery was within the Empire, perhaps the answer (or at least clues) might be in there.
Personally, I've just always blindly assumed the Brewery was trashed during Grom the Paunch's rampage through the Empire.
Does a date for this event exist? If not, are there enough clues to figure it out?
Just a thought...
His brewery was the scene of a famous battle, the Battle of Bugman's Brewery at which the Master Brewer was thought killed, but he turned up years later, unanounced, at the gates of Karak-Varn. After just one taste of the beer his identity was proved beyond doubt and the King reformed Bugman's Dwarf Rangers and immediately set out on a crusade to re-establish Bugman's Brewery. Joseph Bugman and his epic journey to Karak-Varn is the subject of numerous dwarven epic poems and drinking songs.
Umm... what was the name of the 4th God of Law? What was his "trade", how about Arianka, what was her part in the great scheme. Alluminas was the God of Light, right? And Solkan was the God of Vengeance and justice.
"There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half full, say: this glass is half full. And then there are those who say: this glass is half empty. The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass!"
-Terry Pratchett
IIRC Arianka was the Goddess of Discipline. Apart from that I don't know about an official 4th God of Law.
[Gods Of Law]
I’ve found references to a 4th law God called Somorphia, but I think she’s fan-fic. Goddess of Truth and beauty; clearly set up to be anti-Slaanesh.
Arianka was the Goddess of discipline, harmony and lying in a crystal coffin. She was imprisoned by one of the chaos gods.
See this thread for more gubbins on Law and how it might fit into the Warhmamer mythos as it stands today.
“Who knows what horrors lurk beneath the Trapdoor?”
[Gods of Law]
Arianka was created as part of the Kaleb Daark comic strip, and so is currently occupying the same circle of copyright hell as Malal and old Kaleb himself.
To my knowledge, Somorphia is nothing more than fan-fic.
Tell me everything you people know about the lands of Estalia; it seems to have been left out.
That is, if you wouldn't mind
...and not a single damn was given that day.
The Kingdom of Estalia lies in the south-west of the Old World. Close to Araby, it has many trading contacts with that land. The Iranna Mountains lie in the heart of Estalia, with the Abasko range to the east. The people, a dark-skinned race, are divided, many small independant city-states embroiled in internecine warfare. They consider themselves to be the original human settlers in the Old World. The two largest city-states are Bilbali and Magritta.
The Estalians mainly worship Myrmidia and IIRC her main temple is either in Bilbali or Magritta. Otherwise not much is known officially I fear...
[Estalia]
Magritta has one of the most powerful fleets in the Old World, much to the dislike of the Tilean states further east.
Much of the action in Zaragoz takes place in the eponymous city, a minor territory in the south-east of the Estalian peninsula.
Estalia was also invaded by Arabyans around IC 1500, precipitating the Crusades.
Cool, thanks people. I take it you would represent them using the DoW rules or would Brettonia or the empire suit them better? In other words how technoligically advanced are they and what would be their "real world equivilent".
...and not a single damn was given that day.
Their real world equivalent would be Spain and maybe Portugal during the 16th century (Habsburg Spain).
Using the DoW rules would be mostly fitting. In WFB 3rd ed. Estalia had 'Hombres Villanos' who fought with sword an buckler, 'Bandolleros Gringos' who were equipped with hand-guns and 'Caballeros' who were knights armed with lance and light or heavy armour. WFRP 2nd ed. describes the 'Estalian Diestro' as swashbuckling fighters with rapier or foil.
Just use duellists as 'Homres Villanos' and the 'Diestros', use crossbowmen as 'Bandolleros Gringos' (just say their hand-guns have not the punch of the imperial or Dwarven version, but a slightly increased range due to a longer barrel or whatever...) and use the mercenary cavalry as 'Caballeros'.
The main gods of Estalia seem to be Myrmidia and Verena and I remember that they have a poweful Inquisition in Estalia, but I am not sure whether thats official or fan-fiction (from 'Mad' Alfred Nunez probably...).
The Estalian Inquisition? You're kidding right?
Did they come with surprise and fear as standard equipment with the option to buy rutheless efficiency at 3pts or nice red uniforms at 5pts?
...and not a single damn was given that day.
