I’m back with more Dungeon Crawl Classics conversions of my Calvenor setting (if you have no idea what I’m talking about, check out the links above). I’ve got remarkably little preamble today, so let’s just jump right in!

The Demon-God Orthuun, the Blind Sovereign

Thanks to my protagonist Alric Mistsong, this expression of the demon-god of darkness and oblivion made for a relatively easy write-up. In fact, I’m inspired enough that I’ll adapt Alric’s future DDM mishaps—and possibly even spells—to be consistent with some of the tables here. Fun fun!

Comparing a cleric’s experience of Orthuun to a wizard’s is always interesting when creating these parallel entries. As a patron, Orthuun is vastly more destructive, generally in a wider area and affecting more people. Clerics, meanwhile, are slightly more sinister and able to dominate opponents one-on-one. That’s not a distinction I intended when embarking on the write-ups, but I think it’s cool.

Enjoy!

Wait, does the nav block sit on the footer for this theme? That's bold.
