Blog Spot Highlight (Chimeron)
When Mad Tom was defeated Bedlam retreated from
the Realms taking everything it had covered with it. This means Lady Dee´s Ye Bar and Wench Tavern
and, on the second floor, Lady Cassia´s Keep of the Scarlet Torch: Gone. Heron´s
rebuilt marble Castle of Chimeron:
Gone. The city of Chimeron
Proper, the walls, the buildings, the roads and villages: All gone.

Realmscraft Project
“For over 20 years [Around 30], players in the
Realms have met on weekends and played characters in a fictional world. We have maps, and imagine that we come from
lands with castles, roads, bridges, towns, and everything else that might fit a
medieval fantasy theme. Until now, those
lands have lived in our stories, songs, poems, and fertile imaginations. This project is an attempt to change that. ‘Realmscraft’ could never replace LARPing, but
with the right approach it can be a tool to make our shared roleplaying
experience deeper and more fulfilling than ever before.”
In service to the Realms,

Notes
Recent additions to server include Shalindar
Keep (Blackwood) and the remaining unfinished towns of Eagle´s Rook. I am currently beginning further projects
within Blackwood. Clontarf´s Hammerstone
and the castle town east of it are underway.
I have also marked off the province of Najena and the Bacon Mine! The Realmscraft server currently sits
comfortably at Minecraft version 1.6.2 which includes the mythical long awaited
horses… The current status of the server can be found at realmscraft.net.
Brief
History
Disclaimer: The
majority information herein was found in the old Library of Chimeron and may
not be completely accurate. For
deviations of what is here written, contact the living members of
Chimeron.
The early 990´s saw the rise of a prominent
centrally located nation. In 991 at the
Siege of Rrathchllwyn (3) Princes Meg gave up her title as Princess of
Valehaven. Meg was then crowned Queen
Meg of Chimeron by her people namely Lady Anne and Sir Taurdhel. Chimeron was declared a Kingdom. In 996 at the 4th Annual Feast of
Chimeron Rhiassa swears fealty to Queen Meg and later at KoEF II Clan McKrye is
formed. Later that year at the second
Black and White Masquerade, the mages and healers present had a dream that the
lands of Chimeron would fall at the hands of fairies: The Chimeron Militia is formed. In 999 at the 5th Annual Feast of
Rhiassa, Queen Meg grants Nathaniel of Rhiassa a plot of land within Chimeron
and the title Lord. Dan´Glecko is
formed.
In 1002, at Feast of Chimeron 10, Queen Meg
begins to stay under The Hill and Heron stays at The Hill to guard Meg. Sir Pyr is made “of the blood” and succeeds
Queen Meg as the new King of Chimeron.
1004 at Queen of Hearts 11 a Waylin bomb is released upon the Realms
which hits Bouquet, an Instectafea, and with it she is sent to Bedlam. In 1006 at the Chimeron court of the 9th
Feast of Chimeron the Azure Guard is formed.
Later that year at the Rites of War Magus Heron is transformed into the
living embodiment of The Hill and The Hill is moved to the Realms underneath
Chimeron Castle.
A year later, 1007, at Feast of Chimeron 15
Pawldo, Cecil, and Sir Vawn are inducted into the Royal House of Chimeron. 1010 King Pyr dies at the Black and White Ball
and becomes King of the Mountain. April
9, 1011 Cecil is crowned the King of Chimeron.
Only two years after King Cecil´s coronation the lands of Chimeron were
covered in a darkness known as Bedlem.
When finally the combined might of the Realms defeated Mad Tom, Bedlem
disappeared from the Realms taking all it had covered with it: Ye Bar and Wench Tavern and the Keep of the
Scarlet Torch, Heron´s rebuilt Castle of Chimeron, the entire city of Chimeron
Proper, and all the tributary roads, towns, villages, and farmsteads for miles
and miles.
Today Chimeron survives but must now rebuild
its once great infrastructure.

The Realmscraft project is not just for mass
builders who seek to construct nations. It
is also for those who would like to enjoy a little tastes of what the Realms
has to offer in a new light. Quests,
dungeons, Roleplaying, and all sorts of other activities are created, and made
available, for those who would just like to enjoy another Realms related
outlet.
