Unconquered Kingdoms for COTM!
As many of you know, SkidAce has been active in the forums for a long time, and his campaign, "Unconquered Kingdoms":https://unconquered-kingdoms.obsidianportal.com/ has a good following, 45 fans. Thus it was a surprise to see that this great campaign has not yet won COTM!! I hope that is remedied soon!!!

Editing for typos and importing into adventure logs takes some work...so its a fair bit behind.
The players on average post once or twice a day (excepting holidays or deployments) for about two years now.

The gallery of NPC is a work in progress.
A. I'm trying to get the players to put notes about them in the descriptions, where they met them etc.
B. Hoping to have two levels of NPCs, a full listing with names, professions, and locations, such as this "WIP":https://unconquered-kingdoms.obsidianportal.com/wiki_pages/npcs-and-contacts , and pages for the more "significant" NPCs.
The goal is for the players to be able to use the search function and say "Who is Trafalgar again?" and find a list of links for him.

Here's an example or two of what you don't see....
25 Jenue, Summer 509 PE (Year of the Ravens)
1200 Starday
two weeks before the summer solstice
Logistics and admin had taken up much of the beginning of summer. But the hard work had paid off. There was a stable, and a barracks for the new cavalry unit The Marauders. Their leader, Ragnoc, a Korsic barbarian much like Shylent, had sent his second to set things up and make all the arrangements. During the talks, the topic of whether the Marauders would remain mercenaries or become a permanent fixture had come up, and was currently unresolved. Mercenaries were quicker and easier to hire, but usually more expensive in the long run. The bulk of the Marauders were due to arrive tomorrow.
Messages and notes from Blend had led Nitram to believe that part of the difficulty he had experienced in firming up the security of the local area had its origins in the town of Pike, with a merchant family called Boringfeld. That was all Nitram knew at the time.
Fredrick received another letter, saying to expect Ser Darius to arrive during the summer solstice. Frederick and Dast, after further research, discovered that there were multiple legends of magical spears throughout the history of Kells, and most of them had to do with something vaguely termed “The Light”, although none of the legends were a direct match for Dast’s spear.
Rumil had spend a lot of the time honing the skills, precision, and overall deadliness of the wilderness scouts. The scouts themselves had begun to make a name for themselves among their foes the goblins and the worgs, with many a goblin likely losing sleep every night, if not his life. (free unit upgrade for RP)
Blend had spent much time on the road, and was due to return to Fort Farhills any day now.
Overall the situation in the area was much the same as it had been for the spring and early summer. The grain shortage was worse, and much of Falconaire owed a great debt to Toreador, and to a smaller extent Rivendeep and its capital Highkeep.
The areas around Aerie City, Castrel, and Tennyson’s Tower were relatively safe, as were armed convoys and patrols between each of them. But hte area around Dodge’s Fall, both eastward and westward were extremely unsafe for farmsteads and smaller villages, many of which had evacuated to one of the cities. Talk among the keep at Farhills implied that some of the refugees from those areas were sheltering at the fort.
The king of Falconaire was discussing a joint offensive with Toreador to push from the trade road and Capone eastward, clearing and securing the area as they went. While effective, this strategy would tax the already thin Falconaire forces, and would rely heavily on the assistance of Toreador. There was also talk of requesting assistance from an Imperial Legion of the Varencian Empire.
Oddly enough, there were rumors of a ghost haunting the walls of Fort Farhills. Many claimed to have seen a ghostly woman, who when noticed, throws herself off the walls to the ground outside the keep, presumably to her death.
Rumil, ever on the alert for such things, as were the bulk of his people, noticed that there seemed to be a preponderance of spiders this summer. Messages back to the capital brought back disjointed news, some helpful, some…distracted. It seemed there was a conflict between the natural spirit worship of the treespeakers, the veneration of the philosophies/heroes, and an older more martial sect.
Frederick, with his new found senses for realm magic, felt what could be best described as “an awakening” to the west/northwest. He began to have dreams of large billowing jade colored fogs.
=====
As the group considered meeting together for lunch, Shylent called them to the walls on the north side of the keep. She said nothing, merely pointed. In the distance, in a lone tree, was what appeared to be an unusually reddish in color wildcat of some kind. It appeared to be stuck on a branch nearly 30 feet off of the ground.

Frederick attempted to recall if he’d ever seen a wildcat like that in his readings, or heard legend about them.
“Is it dead?” he wondered aloud

The wildcat began to pace back and forth on the branch, coincidentally answering Frederick’s question.

for some reason, I doubt it’s actually “stuck”
Nitram looked at the creature, trying to remember if he had ever heard or seen of it before. nature check to identify it
Still thinking, the ranger whistled for Serre and a moment later the large griffon was standing next to him on the wall. Some of the villagers seeking safety and shelter in the fort yelped in surprise and fear at Serre’s arrival. Still not used to seeing a griffon, they pointed at the majestic beast from behind any cover they could find. Nitram leapt into the saddle and within seconds was dismounting on the ground out side the wall. He slowly began to approach the tree, continuing to observe the cat and wondering why it was there.

“It’s as big as a large dog,” Blend called out to Nitram as he stepped from behind the tree. “Looks like it climbed too far up and doesn’t know how to get down. I was about to climb up there myself to help it out, but now that you’re here, I figure I’ll let you take care of it,” he smiled at the ranger. “Ten to one it jumps down itself as soon as you get close.”
Blend has been gone for three months and is just now getting back.

“There’s no way I’m taking that bet. Welcome back…I think.” Nitram paused as if caught by a strange thought, “Yes, I’m pretty sure I haven’t seen him around lately. He must have be away…was he?”
The ranger approached the tree and began to speak to the cat in a soft, non-threatening manner. animal handling for now to improve its disposition towards Nitram

Blend sat down on a nearby rock and watched the ranger work his “magic”. “Is this going to take long? I’m not going to catch you if you fall.”

Remember to PM me to get on that list- list closed yesterday for February.
Just trying to help out.
Killer, that was the point I was making, we have posts from nearly every day from June 27, 2015, to today.
But people can't see them. They used to be able to look at the forums for campaigns before the reforge. I wish it would come back.
Maybe I'll start a thread about the idea of having a forums visible toggle available in settings.
