Title: De Principatu Transpodoniae - 5 Leagues from the Borderlands and Silver Bayonet
Post by: Cordvane on January 16, 2023, 12:42:54 PM
Welcome to my first Thread and Post on Lead adventure. I finally found the courage to show you the beginning of my travels through the fictional Balkan country of Transpodonia.


Transpodonia - a short overview

(https://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=139759.0;attach=190250;image)

Named for its location across the mighty Podon River, despite its small geographic size, Transpodonia encompasses a wide variety of landscapes and habitats. Most striking are the mighty Arcadian mountains in the east of the country, where the sources of the Podon and most of its tributaries rise. The sparsely populated deep valleys are primarily home to shepherds and their chamois, as well as bears and wolves. Due to their remoteness, they are also a haunt for countless outlaws.

To the east, the mountains slowly give way to densely forested hills. The trunks felled here are rafted via Raduora to the Black Sea ports or carbonized into charcoal. However, the region's charcoal burners and loggers live with constant concern not to venture too close to the Moarte Marshes. Since time immemorial, these have had the reputation of being a source of diseases and monsters and are considered cursed.

The economic heart of Transpodonia are the wide plains between the Arcadian and Superbia mountains. Wheat, grapes and peppers thrive here under the mild sun. Numerous small villages and towns are spread out between the fields. Due to the large number of former southern German settlers, especially around Hagenstedt, the area is often referred to as the Swabian Plains. But even this idyll is clouded again and again by incursions by the despots from the principality of Superbia in the north, who have been at war with the princes in Raduora for as long as anyone can remember.
Since Prince Coscau III. seized power in Superbia, the border dispute has escalated into an ongoing war and large parts of the north have been devastated and depopulated by repeated military campaigns over the recent years.

Rumors tell of misshapen creatures roaming the devastated towns, feeding on the slain. And even then, they say, the dead don't always stay dead…

Thank you for all your kind words. I hope I won't disappoint the expectations.

"Be quiet." Georgios hissed. Gesticulating frantically, he shooed the rest of the group off the road and into the undergrowth.
The others looked at each other questioningly until they heard it too: A hissing and chattering as if a leaking bellow was talking to itself. Cautiously they stalked ahead and soon a small ruin came into view. "What in the name of the Prophet... ?" breathed Asker.
"Ghouls." Georgios replied. "The last thing we need right now."

Here come the first painted miniatures for the project, some old LotR Goblins who will be the stand-ins for a broad range from degenerate Cultists to some freakish ghouls.

And some WIP Goblin Chieftain:

I use the same figures for ghouls, to me they’re much better suited to that than goblins. You hav done a great job on yours! I love the setting you have created, too!

Also, that’s an intriguing idea to use the 5 Leagues mechanics to run the campaign (at least I’m assuming that’s the nature of the crossover). I’m reading the 3rd edition and it seems like it would “re-skin” quite easily to other periods/ backgrounds (now that you’ve got me thinking in that direction!)

Thank you. At the moment the only thing I did to convert 5 Leagues to the 18th century is that I use the profile of Self-bows for pistols and that of crossbows for muskets.  :)
Depending how it works with the original rules I might use the combat mechanics of silver bayonet If I loose to badly. But at first I have to start building my 3x3 battlefield before I can start playing.  ::)

Officially, Transpodonia is a Christian country, but especially in the remote valleys of the Arcadian Mountains the old traditions are not yet completely forgotten.

And even where the sacred groves were cut down centuries ago, many old superstitions are often hidden under the thin cloak of Christianity.

In particular, the custom on All Souls' Day of taking the heads of the deceased from their graves and carrying them in solemn procession through the community causes incredulous horror in many foreign visitors.

After the procession is over, the skulls are often placed near the gravestone so that the deceased can enjoy the sights of the world. Meticulous care is taken that they look in a different direction every year, so that the dead do not get bored.

Looking forward to this.  In line with the background of your campaign, there really was an outbreak of "vampire mania" in the eastern Austro-Hungarian Empire (Balkans) during the 1720's.  So on your map, it could be marked "Here there be monsters." 

 https://www.ozy.com/true-and-stories/the-great-vampire-epidemic-of-the-1720s/69297/

  Below is from the Kabinettskriege blogspot:

   "These Serbian communities were protected by militiamen in addition to regular Austrian military forces. These militiamen are occasionally referred to as "hajduk" (today "Hajduci") a term possibly derived from the Ottoman word ""hajdud" meaning Polish or Hungarian soldiers.[1] These soldiers served as border guards against renewed attacks from the Ottoman Empire. One of these Hajduk, Arnold Paole, was one of the first of a series "reported" vampires in the region in the 1720s and 1730s."

"Arnold Paole, a Hajdu and former refugee, claimed that he had been visited/attacked by a vampire near Kosovo, before traveling to the village of Meduegna, near modern Trstenik, in Serbia. Likewise, another Serbian, Petar Blagojevich, possibly from the modern town of Kisiljevo, reportedly died and then began to prey upon his family members as a vampire. In both cases, Blagojevich in 1725, and Paole in 1732, Austrian local government officials responded to the events as a serious crisis. Austrian Kameralprovisor Frombald, (first name, alas, unknown), traveled to the village in order to deal with the crisis. Local peasants petitioned Frombald and the parish priest to permit the exhumation of the body, which after some initial hesitation, they permitted."

  Frombald explained in a report:

"Since I could not persuade them otherwise, by promises or threats, I went to the village of Kisiljevo, taking along the priest from Gradisk, and viewed the freshly exhumed body of [Petar Blagojevich], finding in accordance with thoughtful thoroughness, that first of all I did not detect any odor which normally accompanies the dead, and the body except for the nose... was completely fresh. The hair and beard, and even the nails, of which the old ones had fallen away- had grown on him; the old skin, which was somewhat whitish, had peeled away, and a new fresh one had emerged under it... Not without astonishment, I saw some fresh blood in his mount, which, according to local belief, he had sucked from the people he had killed."[2]
The stunned Frombald looked on as, perhaps unsurprisingly, the villagers took the sane precaution of driving a sharpened stake through Petar's heart, and burning his body. [Of course, I jest. Modern medical analysis indicates that such signs in a recently deceased corpse are rather normal.] However, in the borderland between the Austrian and Ottoman Empires, numerous fears regarding death and violence trumped the rational concerns of the Kameralprovisor.

Around the same time, Serbian Hajdu Arnold Paole reported being menaced by a vampire, but that he had employed folk remedies to free himself of its dark influence. In 1725, shortly after returning to his home village, he died after falling from a hay wagon. Almost immediately, villagers began to complain of being visited by Arnold in vampire form. Four villagers died under mysterious circumstances, and the local village Hadnack ordered an exhumation of Paole. His body displayed almost the same symptoms Blagojevich, and the villagers performed the same remedy, repeating it on the four individuals who were supposed to be his victims.

The matter was considered closed, until around 6 years later, villagers in Meduegna once again began to die under mysterious circumstances. 13 villagers died after brief illnesses, and their deaths were reported to Lt. Colonel Schnezzer, the local Austrian army officer. He sent for Imperial-Contagions-Medicus Glaser, who ignored the vampiric assertions of the villagers. According to the villagers, both of the young women who had initially died were infected during their time on the Turkish side of the border. According to the villagers, in the Turkish lands, "Vampires were everywhere, in great strength."[3] Glaser began to investigate the deaths and concluded that the deaths were a result of malnutrition and extreme Eastern Orthodox fasting.[4]

Thank you for for the vampiric overview. 👍
Indeed I have planned for some vampires, I hope that one of the more prominent ones is painted soon.
The hajduks got me thinking, I'll build some foreign Militia-Men but I think I will go more for a Bashi-Bashouk-look. But  who says they can't be vampires too...  :D

The protracted war in the north of the principality has almost completely exhausted Kasumir IV's small standing army. He is increasingly dependent on the private armies of the nobles and the troops of the towns.

These vary greatly in equipment and competence. A rather positive example are the dragoons of Count Mischulik - even if they, like all soldiers, are said to have a very loose relationship to property rights.

At the Moment there is slow progress, but nothing to show so far. Therefore have a few bottles of 'Hagenstedter Dorn' a blackthorn Schnaps from Hagenstedt that is popular throughout Transpodonia:

That's my problem, I like building but I'm a slow painter...

High in the north of Transpodonia lie the ruins of Raduvar Castle. Once the pride of Radu I, the legendary founder of the principality, today only a single tower remains. Weathered and dilapidated, it defies the ravages of time as a reminder of the transience of earthly pride. Ivy and legends entwine around the tower, which the locals have christened 'The Last Guardian': Supposedly, the entrance to Radu's lost treasure is hidden beneath it. But no one has ever returned from the search...

Very nice tower indeed.

Ooh like that tower  8) 8)

Love the tower :-*

Thank you very much. Started painting it today, Stonework should hopefully be fast to paint.

The tower is really great. But seriously, who cares about old towers (most probably haunted) and supernatural beasties when you can sit around and have a bottle of 'Hagenstedter Dorn'?!  lol

The Problem is that after drinking a few 'Hagenstedter Dorn' checking out some haunted woods or ruins seem like a good idea. I mean, what's the worst that could happen?

Every good adventure begins in a tavern...

The tavern "Zum grünen Baum" near the town of Hagenstedt has gained an excellent reputation over the years. Whether from near or far, rich or poor, everyone stops on the way between Raduora and Hagenstedt to taste the excellent food and especially the home-made "Hagenstedter Dorn".
And to this day the phrase 'Zna Grinbaum' (Let's go to the green tree) means to embark on a booze tour.

Lovely piece of terrain! Since The Silver Bayonet makes it pretty clear, that the officer is the model representing the player, I’d go for some roleplaying: I’d just sit around there all day, have a bottle of Hagenstedter Dorn and some good local dishes (gulash with nockerln or something like that) and send in wave after wave of my troops to clean the forests of unholy vermin.

Ah, the tried and tested Zapp Brannigan-Style of Command. 😅 Hope those troops don't come back as wave after wave of undead.

Great work! 👍
Thank you.

For the moment I'm struck down by the plague which limits productivity but at least I played around with a coat of arms software and made some coats of arms for Transpodonia and Superbia.

Transpodonia coat-of-arms is based on the one of the house of Radu with a fesse of counter ermine superimposed to signify his princely status. It is also thought that the two azure pales left and right signifies the lay of Transpodonia between the river Podon and the black sea.
(https://www.tabletopwelt.de/uploads/monthly_2023_03/shield.png.b59d2e3468e27772ca145930e488e892.png)

True to it's name that could be translated to the Latin word for pride or arrogance Superbia sports a full field of ermine and two chevrons of gold with a rampant mountain goat alluring to it's mountainous geography. Therefore a common slur for Superbians is 'goats' or similar graphic allusions.

A strange young man from Germany has appeared in Transpodonia. Accompanied only by his dog Fritz, he roams the entire principality and asks everyone and everything about stories and fairytales. The old people in particular are happy about the unusual attention the stranger is giving them. But secretly they are not sure whether he is more than a little crazy to risk his life in the wilderness of Transpodonia just for a few old tales and nursery rhymes. Don't they have their own fairy tales in Germany that he has to collect theirs?

The lonely homesteads and hamlets of Transpodonia are constantly exposed to dangers: storms, crop failures, disease, bandits and worse.... Most are therefore a miserable sight. A few warped huts and barns surrounded by rickety walls and fences that at least offer a deceptive sense of security....
(https://www.tabletopwelt.de/uploads/monthly_2023_05/IMG_20230506_174720-01.jpeg.14f91009a275f7b56eac1efd99c40fc3.jpeg)




The wilderness surrounding these wretched villages is hardly less desolate.
And no place for arachnophobes.
The transpodonian wolf spider is the largest known European spider species. It owes its name to its greyish taint and the fact that they hunt in packs. For a long time, therefore, it was considered a mystical mythical creature that had sprung from the overheated imagination of frightened peasants. It was not until 1954 that the first scientific description was made by Mikhail Lamerkov. Lamerkov was also able to prove that they do indeed hunt smaller mammals and amphibians such as rats and frogs, but that they also attack larger animals and humans when they feel threatened.

Thanks a lot. They are from gripping beasts 18th civilian range.

A rumour is increasingly rampant in Transpodonia: Anyone who does not die free of sin will fall to the eternal prince with body and soul - forever condemned to serve in undeath.
In many places the priests can hardly cope with the rush to confession, often the frightened people ask for forgiveness of their sins several times a day. The people feel this threat so urgently that the metropolitan of Raduora has announced that he is permanently praying for the forgiveness of all the sins of the entire country and that no one needs worry because God's grace is stronger than all the imaginary horrors. But even this assurance cannot reassure all people and many seek additional protection through all kinds of amulets and protective spells.

Remains of Greek culture can be found all along the Black Sea coast, including in Transpodonia. The Temple of Poseidon near Apasat is particularly well preserved. In future centuries it will become a tourist hotspot, but for now it is shunned by everyone.
Everyone but some very superstitious sailors who grasp for every kind of supernatural protection.

Well the old printer was an old and extremely modified Ender 3 I got from second hand so it was only a matter of time till it ended it's Frankenstein-existance. Me trying to install a new extruder probably didn't help.  :?
As far as I can tell the new generation of FDM printers are much more beginner-friendly. Got myself the Anycubic Kobra 2, it was as simple as screwing it together in 15mins and switching it on. It prints well to 0.12mm, enough for my terrain demands. May try to print something in 0.08 but haven't found the time yet.

There is a ton of potential here. Looking forward to seeing what you do with them

Thanks, I hope I won't lead them into serious trouble.

The Heroes and Zombie-Dogs are finally primed (streak of bad weather) and I also found some time to print some ruins. These will hopefully feature in my first round for the campaign... Maybe even this year.  ::)

Thanks you all! Have myself painted in a corner with some Imperial Fists I need to finish the next few weeks. But after that I hope I'll finish the ruins and the Heroes.
