Ankündigung Projekt Reamlsbound: https://www.patreon.com/posts/143943909
Was können wir erwarten: https://mythmakers.com/realmsbound/

Bin gespannt was da auf uns zukommt und welche Richtung er damit einschlägt. Werde ich auf jeden Fall im Auge behalten. Interessant finde ich auch, dass sie mit den Dalelands starten, da diese ja erst Teil des neuen Adventures Guide sind. Was haltet ihr davon?

Mages & Sages sprechen mit Eric Menge und Ed Greenwood über das Thema Realmsbound: Podcast Videos auf YT
Freut mich sehr, dass auch ein paar der älteren Veteranen an Bord sind, wie z.B. Eric L. Boyd. Sehr beeindruckend und freut mich massiv dass das Artwork eher traditionell gehalten wird. Kapitelintro in Farbe und der Rest als schwarz/weiß Bleistiftstil angelehnt an die 2E. Nach den Dalelands soll eine Region aus dem Areal "Inner Sea" kommen, möglicherweise Dragon Coast mit Westgate oder Thesk bzw. Impiltur, aber vielleicht auch Sembia. Das Ziel von Realmsbound ist es abseits der Schwerküste, die ja schon ganz gut ausgearbeitet ist, andere Regionen auf den Stand der 5E (1501 TZ) zu bringen, quasi den Fog of War zu lüften, wie sie es im Video nennen. Print on Demand wird angestrebt, hier sind sie in Verhandlung mit DMG.

Der Launch des ersten Buches erfolgt im März und danach im 3 Monatsabstand bis Ende 2026 die nächsten Bücher. Die nächste Region für 2027 wird auf der GenCon 2026 Juli/August während des Candlekeep Panels präsentiert.
Die Übersichtskarte der Dalelands schaut richtig gut aus. Werde ich mir einrahmen lassen!

Ein paar Eindrücke der Artworks:

Cleric of Chauntea
"In a trampled field, a humble Cleric of Chauntea stands her ground, her scythe wreathed in holy flame. Before her, a Malarite druid twists mid-transformation, flesh and shadow pulling into the sleek, predatory lines of a black panther. It is harvest set against slaughter, the quiet endurance of the land rising to meet the raw hunger of the wild."
Artist: Ben Mehlos
Writer: Thomas M. Costa


Mount Thalagbord
"Water thunders down the stone face of Mount Thalagbord. A pegasus wheels and prances through the open air before the falls, its pale form graceful and unburdened by the roar behind it. Yet beyond the curtain of water, something watches. Here, the nesting grounds of the pegasi have become a trap for those who mistake splendor for safety."
Artist: Ben Mehlos
Writer: Erik Scott de Bie


Dalelands Heraldry
"Rooted in Ed Greenwood’s original sketches and visions, and updated to align with Adventures in Faerûn, the heraldry of each dale stands ready to be woven into your campaign."
Artist: Lori Krell
Writer: Ed Greenwood


When Maps Become Stories
"Every map in RealmsBound is presented in full color, designed not only to orient, but to inspire narrative. The Guide to the Dalelands includes an overall regional map, an economy map, and individual maps for each dale, offering both a broad perspective and meaningful local detail. Each dale is further grounded by an isometric map of its capital or most prominent settlement, providing a stunning visual for your storytelling. All of these maps are hand-drawn by our amazing Art Director Lori Krell."

Ein paar weiter Eindrücke:

Chief Donabar of Daggerdale
"Chieftain Donabar Brightblade is a dwarf of impressive bulk and density, making him look as if he were chiseled directly from the mountain he mines. His face is wide and granite-like, dominated by a magnificent, heavily braided red beard streaked with iron-gray. He is rarely seen in anything but work attire; his outfit typically consists of a custom-forged, thick iron apron worn over heavy leathers, with a substantial mining hammer looped to his belt, ready for use."
Artist: Chloe Andriuzzi
Writer: J.E. Thetford


Teaching Priest of Hap
"Warm lamplight fills the shrine at Hap. At its heart stands a modest altar, with a single tear-shaped shard of amber hovering above it, glowing with a soft radiance; the Blood of Lathander. Beside the altar sits Norin Brit, an elderly halfling priest with a sturdy frame shaped by long years of work and service. Around him, children of the dales gather in quiet attention, their faces turned toward the light and the lesson alike."
Artist: Jorge Santiago Jr.
Writer: Diane Hazlett



Grimtooth of the Broken Bones clan
"Grimtooth of the Broken Bones clan waits within the ruins of Castle Krag, chain armor clinking softly against the bones that festoon it. A single rotted tooth shows in his wicked grin as he watches the shadows, ever alert. He will do what he must to protect his plot from would-be heroes."
Artist: Jose Ortiz
Writer: Jose Ortiz



Battle of the Sharp Knives
"Steel flashes as Sharp Knives goblins surge forward, a bugbear roaring beneath a rain of wicked blades. A Zhentarim warrior staggers under the assault, while behind him a hooded mage in black recoils, half-seen and already under threat. From the edges of the clash, more blades and spearpoints strike inward, hinting at enemies still unseen."
Artist: Jorge Santiago Jr.
Writer: Thomas M. Costa

Dagger Falls, the fortified capital of Daggerdale and the seat of Lord Kirkland Morn’s precarious rule.
