Main Page
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 coves 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 it has 173 articles and 507 pages (includes all types of pages such as categories).
A large focus on this wiki is unsurprisingly on Dungeons & Dragons as wells as Pathfinder rules, since the setting was originaly concieved 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 supercedes and replaces whatever is left on the Obsidian Portal page for this setting.
Please note that this wiki is NOT in the public domain; 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.

Dwarves!
I have started working on the finer details of the 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 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 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 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...
