Return to AD&D Central Player's Secrets guides | Birthright Fiction Some close-ups of the fantastic cover art of the accessory books BROWSE MY BIRTHRIGHT ITEMS CURRENTLY IN STOCK   "TSR has never before created an AD&D world quite like that of BIRTHRIGHT. Here you can be a king, noble, prelate, guildmaster, great wizard, or royal herald. You are the leader of your own kingdom and domain. And it is you who has the power to wage war or preserve peace. At a single command, armies march and kingdoms fall. Thus, the BIRTHRIGHT game is a mixture of strategic war gaming and role-playing.  Birthright Campaign Setting [BOX SET] When buying these sets used, pay attention to the contents. There's a LOT of stuff in this box. Most often missing is the little fold-up box ("War Chest") for the cards. The 112 cards come in two packs, labeled "Set 2" and "Set 3" - there is no Set 1. Deep-dive into the Birthright core set over at my photoblog: BIRTHRIGHT Box Set (1995): Collector Guide to AD&Ds Kings Campaign -Wayne CONTENTS: The Atlas of Cerilia: 32 pages detailing the history and features of the continent. The BIRTHRIGHT Rulebook: 96 pages of information on royal-blooded characters, governing kingdoms, and the Cerilian pantheon. The Ruins of Empire book: 96 pages describing kingdoms waiting to be conquered. Two poster maps illustrating the lands of Cerilia. A Battle Mat and 112 War Cards for resolving all types of military clashes, plus a custom-built War Chest for storing the cards. A four-panel DM Screen specifically for BIRTHRIGHT campaigns.

The DM screen shows the full scene, and the books each take a different panel as their covers. -Wayne  Cities of the Sun [BOX SET]
"Ever since throwing off the yoke of Anuirean rule centuries ago, the land of Khinasi -- the Sun Coast of Cerilia -- has been a land of promise for bold adventurers. Here sea means life, the city-state means power, and the working of true magic is the most honorable profession of all. The remnants of the ancient Masetian civilization keep watch over the new culture grown up in its place. The land's many monster lords, called awnsheghlien, keep watch too -- with a more sinister purpose in mind. This expansion to the Birthright campaign setting contains: New rules for war and trade at sea! Portraits of each domain in Khinasi including complete naval information for both Khinasi and Anuirean lands! Over 100 new War Cards including new ship cards for all the Cerilian powers! A Battle Mat for resolving naval battles as well as a full-color poster map of Khinasi. Plus a complete adventure to start you off on your first Khinasi campaign." 1995 ... Rich Baker ...

"Sprawling endlessly beyond the northern borders of Anuire, the Rjurik Highlands harbor undiscovered wonders, secrets, and dangers. Tracts of untouched mountains and forests offer breathtaking vistas; riches in the form of trade goods and untapped magical sources lie quietly for those brave enough to seize control of them; extreme weather and hostile humanoids await their chance to test any who might venture into these pristine lands. The frozen north offers challenges and prizes beyond compare -- but only the most ambitious and stalwart will persevere! This expansion to the Birthright campaign setting contains: The Rjurik Highlands - A 96-page book covering the history, geography, political alliances, major characters, and tribes of the northern regions. A full-color poster map of the Rjurik Highlands. 110 War Cards of new Rjurik and humanoid armies. Six cardsheets of major Rjurik cities and player aids." 1996 ... Anthony Pryor ... TSR 3121 ... ISBN 0786903953 Check Wayne's Books Inventory  Havens of the Great Bay [BOX SET]
"Wrapped along the shoreline of the Krakennauricht, the nations of Brechtόr thrive on -- and are challenged by - their relationship with the waters of Cerilia. Undisputed masters of the sea, the Brechts have carved out a niche as merchants, traders, and seafarers, avoiding imperialism of the Anuireans and the predations of the awnsheghlien. The Brecht ports promise a steady flow of heroes, villains, goods, information, and oppurtunities. Whether characters are looking for adventure, a place to disappear, lands to conquer, or magic to control, they'll find it here -- if pirates, monsters, and double-crossers don't find them first! This expansion to the Birthright campaign setting includes: Havens of the Great Bay - 96 pages of history, geography, political alliances, major characters, and traders and seafarers of the Krakennauricht. A full-color poster map of the realms surrounding the Great Bay. 110 War Cards of new Brecht, elf, halfling, and humanoid armies. Six cardsheets of important Brecht locales and player aids." 1996 ...

"Otto van Riede, captain of the Brechlen, fixed his gaze on the pirate cog that fled before him. He'd combed the Krakennauricht for a week, searching for the Icedrake, and now he intended to run her to ground. His lookouts had sighted the cog an hour after sunrise, beating her way into the bitter north winds. Van Riede had immediately turned in pursuit. Now the cog was only three or four cable lengths ahead and quickly racing into dangerous shallows. Van Riede smiled; the pirate vessel would have to turn and fight or run herself aground. "Sound general quarters," he ordered. "Archers to their stations! Clear the catapults! And ready a boarding party!" As his officers and crew clattered to their stations, readying the Brechlen for a fight, van Riede folded his arms and nodded. "Keep an eye on her, helm. She'll be turning any moment now..." Every land in Cerilia depends on the sea for military strength and trade. Many times, the quality of a regent's fleet and the naval power at his command prove the deciding factors in his success or failure as a ruler. This supplement expands the Birthright domain and War Card rules to handle sea travel and combat. Players can use the sample navies included for Anuirean, Khinasi, and Rjurik kingdoms as guidelines to tailor fleets to meet the needs of their own domains. Special maps illustrating the maritime areas surrounding Cerilia make it easy to add a naval dimension to any campaign. The Birthright Naval Battle Rules contain: The Seas of Cerilia, 16-page book detailing the rules for naval battles in the BIRTHRIGHT game, including sea movement, ship types, naval armament, sea trade routes, and battles on the water. A set of 51 naval War Cards featuring game statistics for the vessels of all the lands of Cerilia, as well as special wind cards governing movement at sea, and cards describing naval war magic. Counters for indicating crew capacity and ship movement rate. A full-color, poster-sized naval battle mat for ship-to-ship combat. (These naval battle rules first appeared in the Cities of the Sun campaign expansion. If you already own that product, it is not necessary to purchase this one.)" 1996 ... Rich Baker ... TSR 3134 ...

This book, designed for the Dungeon Master, is a guided to the most dangerous creatures on the face of Cerilia: The awnsheghlien.

"Vosgaard remains one of the truly unconquered, untamed regions of Cerilia. In the frozen landscape of the heartless north, only the hardiest will survive -- and few of those will thrive. Would-be rulers face the double threat of Vosgaard's climate and its denizens, each dangerous on its own and deadly in tandem, neither willing to be conquered. Even those who venture into the wastes only for adventure must step lightly. The snow-choked lands keep an icy grip on their secrets and their victims. Some say that only Belinik and Kriesha can hear the pleas of their faithful above the winter winds, leaving the region truly godforsaken.

"Priests are more than mere physicians tending the wounded and healing the sick - they are defenders of the realm, champions of their god, and the politicians of Cerilia.

For the power of the Blood comes from the gods, and only their priests can make a king!

Not only is it taking place in the PCs' kingdom, but before the festivities can even commence, someone wages an attack on Prince Avan and kidnaps his daughter. And to whom do the regents turn to rescue the princess? The hosts, of course!

"High in the Stonecrown Mountains, a new source of dark magic stirs, wakes, and spreads its wings to shroud the land in shadows. The Warlock of the Stonecrowns, an awnshegh regent who is as evil as he is powerful, is draining other regents' sources of magical power, choking their ability to cast the most powerful form of magic of all - realm magic! If that isn't enough, the Warlock threatens to close the only pass connecting the trade-kingdom of Cariele to the rest of Anuire.

"On the border between Anuire and the land of Khinasi, the Three Brother Mages fight an ancient and immortal awnshegh, the Chimera. The game of cat and mouse has recently begun to draw regents from the entire region. Rumors say that the blade of the last Amuirean emperor, the Sword of Roele, has been tracked to the Chimera's domain, the Chimaeron. The fact that the Gorgon's armies are mustering in Kiergard seems to support the rumor. But choosing sides between the Chimera and the Three Brothers is no easy matter. If the Chimera drives the Brothers out, the trade routes through the Chimaeron may be sealed, leaving the seas free for the Khinasi to monopolize trade. If the Brothers are drive the Chimera from the magical sources that give her strength, they may establish a beachhead for the Khinasi traders, who are slowly gobbling up the lands of Anuire just as their own lands were once annexed by the empire long ago. Who will you and your comrades ally yourselves with? Who is the true enemy? Can you recover the Sword of Roele before anyone else does, and lay claim to the Iron Throne? This Birthright adventure is suitable for use with any party of three to six characters of levels 5-8, including at least one regent.

More than simply an adventure collection, this 160-page book enables you, the Dungeon Master, to turn ordinary domain actions into oppurtunites for heroic exploits. Each of the eleven 'legends' set forth here is based on a different random event from the Birthright Rulebook. Don't allow a mere die roll to decide the outcome of a blood challenge, rebellion, intrigue, or magical event - make the PCs forge their own destinies by confronting a madman who is 'Blood Hungry,' wresting the 'Fang of Kriesha' from its evil wielder's grasp, thwarting a rival regent's 'Double Dealing,' and saving all of Cerilia from 'The Gift of Azrai.'

"Untamed by the laws of man, the Giantdowns region remains a buffer zone between the ruined empire of Anuire and its northern neighbor, the Rjurik Highlands. The Great Downs themselves are the stuff of legends: Giants, they say, are buried beneath the mounds, awaiting some call to rise and battle once more. But in the meantime, other forces threaten the Downs. A new awnshegh, the humanoid known as Ghuralli, strives to make his small kingdom a rival to the neighboring Gorgon's Crown. His armies of humanoids, giant-kin, and monsters stand ready to strike at the few human settlers brave enough to live in the shadow of the Great Downs. The Rjurik settlers need a leader, someone who can defeat Ghuralli and forge a kingdom out of their scattered clans. They need someone to step forth and become King of the Giantdowns. This 64-page adventure accessory contains detailed information on the Giantdowns region, the people, monsters, and places that can be found within, and several adventures for beginning and experience players alike." 1997 ... 64 pages ...
