Hârn is a lavishly detailed medieval fantasy world, published since 1983. In tone, it is a cross between Tolkienesque fantasy (with elves, dwarves, and magic) and historical England of the early middle ages. What sets it apart is the mass of carefully-constructed detail which is paid to the regions, cultures, and races of the world. While I read Hârn and Hârnmaster since early in their development, I only played in a campaign set in Hârn much later. My first campaign was game-mastered by Jim Chokey, and was set in the village of Cuthren in the Kingdom of Rethem. My second campaign was game-mastered by David Johnson, and began on Cherafir on the island of Melderyn.
