The main continent of Hökaland.

Welcome to the Hökaland Wiki. Please see the introduction for more information on the world. It's currently just populated by Leord (Gunnar Petzäll), the crazy sod who created the setting, but may or may not have additional authors in the future.

This wiki covers everything about Hökaland; the world itself, history, geology, religions and important characters. It also covers the Hökaland "meta game" (that is still not permanently mothballed) as well as Hökaland the online web strategy game. Currently the wiki has 507 pages of which includes 173 articles.

A large focus on this wiki is unsurprisingly on Dungeons & Dragons as wells as Pathfinder rules, since the setting was originally conceived as a campaign setting and then just took off on its own. This includes attempts at making DnD/PF more adapted to the slightly darker and low-magic world of Hökaland.

This material supersedes and replaces whatever is left on the Obsidian Portal page for this setting.

Please note that this wiki is NOT in the public domain, and neither is any content created; see copyrights. To contact the author, see the about page. Contributions are greatfully accepted (well, if it fits).

Below are links for each section relating to the setting.

NOTE: If you want to help editing, an account needs to be made for you as the wiki is locked down to avoid spammers.

Division of information

The wiki is divided in to several sections, including different types of information. General information about the world of Hökaland will be separated from any type of rules relating to any game I place there, such as the roleplaying (currently using DnD 3.5 and Pathfinder), the possible future game of houses (also referred to as the "meta-game") and my dream of finishing the web-based game.

The World

This section introduces the world of Hökaland.

Note about information in the wiki

When reading articles in the wiki, please keep in mind that it is unlikely that any characters in the world or one you play will know these things. The wiki is written very objectively: This is how the world IS, not how people conceive it.

 ==News==
+News updates are '''[[News|listed here]]'''.
-=== Content Continues ===
-In the past few months a lot of content has been added, which includes copying notes and writing new content (such as the [[Sickle]] and expanding [[Artipellin]]. I will move the News section to a separate page as well.
-We also added Daniel Engh to the [[IPO]] campaign. Let's hope he is as good a roleplayer as he is a converser.
-[[User:Leord|Leord]] ([[User talk:Leord|talk]]) 16:58, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
-=== Loads of content ===
-A slight update in that I have made a load of minor updates. Noting [[Healing]] for a combined article on house rules and [[Generator]] for worldmaking. Also very large updates on [[Capitoleum]], the [[Sabenius Order]] and much else.
-[[User:Leord|Leord]] ([[User talk:Leord|talk]]) 19:29, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
-=== Factions and religion ===
-So, for the [[IPO]] campaign, I have also made numerous minor updates to the wiki to make it more readable from my old notes as well as written new material. Especially on:
-* [[Religion]]
-* [[Gods]]
-* [[Faction]]
-* [[Governors]]
-* [[Court of Houses]]
-The team is all but done. One character that needs some polish and one that needs most work done. Next Sunday is the first session.

-=== Content and campaigns ===
-Some friends at work have shown interest in playing, and we have begun building characters and I have begun planning a campaign. Exciting. As such I have also made some more updates to the wiki. :)

-===More Spam; now sorted===
-I haven't had the energy to work on this wiki since I got my job, just after the last post, and progress will continue to be slow. However, I did find and plugged the last spam issue as I had forgotten to remove anonymous editing. That's no longer possible.
-I may make a separate wiki that only I can log in to and have stuff that I don't want to be public be there, but that will also have to wait until I magically have the energy to finish that book...
-Anyways. Always a pleasure to log in here. See you!

-===Dwarves!===
-I have started working on the finer details of the [[Dwarf|dwarven]] homelands, which are really unknown to most non-dwarves. The massive [[Gabilgathol]] "gem" populated by dwarves. To do so I also needed to specify [[Material#Pitch_quartz|pitch quartz]], the material of which it is made.

-===Spam prevention and Flora===
-The wiki had its first spammers a few days ago so yesterday I changed the wiki so you can't add pages as anonymous and you can't create accounts. However, if you (who are reading this) would like to help out for whatever reason, contact [[User:Leord|me]] and I'll just make an account for you.
-Also made a massive update on [[flora]].

-===Domain/hosting move===
-Not noticeable in the wiki (fortunately), but took a great deal of time was to move hokaland.com from being my main domain for me (I'm using [http://gunnarpetzall.com/ GunnarPetzall.com] as the main domain now) which meant making a new wiki installation and fiddle with the database backup. After much ado, it's at least working fine again in the same location on the web (and a different location on the server) and any links work fine as far as I know...<br>

-===Content rush===
-Added a lot of content and editing/moving existing stuff into useful shape.<br>
-[[User:Leord|Leord]] ([[User talk:Leord|talk]]) 16:52, 7 September 2014 (UTC)
-===A start===
-Added last links from the [https://hokaland.obsidianportal.com/wikis/main-page Obsidian Portal page] for Hokaland. Starting on adding content.<br>
