Lexicon of Klarkash-Ton, Hierophant of Atlantis: Lupanar

 This time, we follow the good High Priest to the far future, to the final continent of Earth, Zothique, for a a tale of ennui and love: Morthylla.

Without impulses, other than that of an urgent desire for solitude, he turned his steps toward the suburbs, avoiding the neighborhood of taverns and lupanars, where the populace thronged. 

A lupanar is a brothel, so called because the ancient Romans supposedly likened the sounds of whores to the howling of wolves. Of course, if your brothel happens to be a hideout for werewolves, calling it a lupanar is more than appropriate. 

Lexicon of Klarkash-Ton, Hierophant of Atlantis: Calenture

Clark Ashton Smith makes me very thanksful for electronic readers; I've never read anything by him that didn't include at least one word I'd never encountered before.  He is, of course, the author that inspired X2: Castle Amber, a fun-house dungeon much beloved by many grognards.

As a glossary of words gamers might find useful, I begin with his short story "A Vintage From Atlantis":

I turned giddy; and a sort of dark confusion possessed my senses by degrees; and I seemed to hear and see and feel as in the, mounting fever of calenture.

 According to Miriam-Webster, calenture is "a fever formerly supposed to affect sailors in the tropics."

While you could use this as part of the name of a spell or a plague ravaging the Isle of Dread, I think it might also make an excellent name for a succubus or night hag.

The Bramble Marches

 The Bramble Marches is a campaign I've been working on that's meant to include TSR-era exploration and end-game content into 5e D&D. A friend of mine has actually done more with it so far than I have. ;p

The basic premise is that a thousand years ago, a great dark empire crossed the Mistweaver Mountains and destroyed an Arthurian-inspired kingdom, force-marching the survivors to the far south.  Those survivors eventually threw off the yoke of their subjugation and have been slowly expanding their new territory ever-northwards with the goal of reclaiming their ancestral lands.  In the meantime, the old evil empire collapsed, leaving those old ancestral lands a wild wilderness full of ruins and monsters.

The Bramble Marches is the furthest north territory of the survivors of the old kingdom, and its current northern borders are on the southern borders of the old kingdom.  

The map was made in Inkarnate.
