• Orgaladh 1. Nénimë.cloudfree sky, fresh breeze, 8°, no rain,full moon.We are surprised to find a flowering Finhereg, which the easterlings call "Tûlaxar", but the flower seems strangely twisted, it's leaves are dotted with small eye-like red spots and have black, almost bone-like looking stalks.We camp the night near an area of rumareth-grass.

• Orithil 7.Nénimë:single clouds, light wind, -4°, no rain,almost halfmoon.We come upon a troop of diminuitive men, the Easterlings call them "Grolms" and apparently have no high opinion on them.They think of them as greedy, homeless layabouts.We riddle if these Grolms could be a forgotten folk akin to the halflings or Drúedain though we are not sure if they have not some degree of goblin-blood.The Grolms leader, Tuva, wants to sell us an amulet he tell us, is an official permission to travel the great eastern route and all lands controlled by the Golden army.We are in dire need of such a permission to avoid further trouble and ensure a safe travel, but the Grolm's price is high... we spend the night near a farmhouse which seems to have been abandoned just recently.
• Orgaladh 8.Nénimë:single clouds, windstill, 19°,no rain, halfmoon.We seem to be far off the road as we come to a place of strange cottages which seem to be abandoned but have some distinct elvish air about them.We wonder if this could be a place of the Avari.The night we realize that our campsite lies within the hunting grounds of Pards.
• Ormenel 9.Nénimë:single clouds, windstill, 19°, no rain,decreasing halfmoon.We are startled as we come upon what seem to be tracks of some unknown animal and then seem to become tracks of mannish feet.We camp the night near an ancient Stone-circle.
• Oraearon 10.Nénimë:densely clouded sky, fresh breeze, 5°, dry, decreasing moon sickle.We find a seemingly friendly and trustful animal, the easterlings tell us this is a "Mongbat".The Mongbat keeps up appearing to us, we wonder if it has some sort of intelligence... The night we camp in the open Steppe, a pack of Bûkandas Wolves is near.
• Orbelain 11.Nénimë:cloudless sky, windstill,11°, dry,close to new moon.We meet a camp of armored Orcs led by one Murkha who seems to consider us potential prey, the night we spend near a small wood where we meet a leather-clad man named Salfand who tells us that this is his sacred grove.
• Orgilion 12.Nénimë:cloudless sky, fresh breeze, 5°, close to new moon.We meet a man who camps near a large rock, he tells us he is Khagrôd, a follower of Ûtha, seemingly an easterling spirit of Knowledge, and is here since quite some time to examine the old runes and carvings of the place which are written in a script unknown to him, he asks us if we could be of help.Apparently we are on the right track again.We camp the night at a secluded glade near a small river.
• Oranor 13.Nénimë:single clouds, strong wind, -+9°, dry,Almost new moon.We have arrived at a large easterling settlement.We believe this to be the place of Lond Gondobal, once the farthest outpost of Gondor in the east, built under Turambar Rómendacilion.The city however shows only few signs of former gondorian grandeur, it looks pretty run-down, teeming with run-down clay-shacks, although the local temples of the Nameless and Ôrash-Sagra ,the Governor,'s palace look impressing.The town is nowadays known as "Bolgund-Stroh", and we are told it is the most important local river haven.We had indeed expected another inland sea, but the "Nâvbrukh" is little more than a large lake and a navigable steppe-river connected to the great Talathrant in the east.We are surprised to see Orcs openly walk the Streets at night and we hear there are trolls being held in barracks below the city.However the amulet the Grolms sold us serves us well and the local guardsmen are asking no more questions , though the Cityguard asks us to put down our weapons, aparrently it is not allowed to openly wear arms in the "Golden realm".We say goodbye to our easterling friends and look for a river-craft taking us further east.
• Orithil 14.Nénimë:clouded with gaps, windstill, 14°, heavy rain,almost new moon, At the "Squirrel and badger", a tavern, we meet an easterling river-captain named Durban who owns the "Ioghul's pride", a type of vessel the locals call a "Pultic river-runner" or "Pékalog".Now that we do not have to disguise ourselves as caravan-members anymore everything goes far easier for us, though the harbor is jammed by large craft and our departure is somewhat delayed.
• Orgaladh 15.Nénimë:Dense clouds, light wind, 5 °, dry, New moon.One of the passengers, Hisala-Pôs," is the snooty servant of some local order and demands expressions of admiration, but most of the other travellers seem sociable.We are somehow bewildered how many of the locals are tall, blonde and light-skinned... apparently many of them could easily pass as men of the west had we met them somewhere in northern Eriador or Rhovanion, though still most of the easterlings are smaller, hirsute, swarthy and stocky... apparently the more northerner-like appearance is a local trait of the Kyn-folk and the easterlings pay no or little attention to their look or are used to it.All in all local tribal divisions and ethicity seem to be of far lesser importance among the eastfolk than they are in the realms of the Dúnedain and Northmen.
• Ormenel 16.Nénimë:sunny weather, single clouds, light breeze, 3°, no rain slightly increasing moon.We socialize with Chofang,one of the wandering traders on board who has some cheap offers but nothing special.The Nâvbrukh is small but well navigable and our boat so far makes good progress, me meet few other craft or men though.
• Oraearon 17.Nénimë:cloudless sky, stormy, 3°, no rain,slightly increasing moon.One of the passengers , a scholar named Orb-Makôw who seems confused brabbles continually of "elvish-intrigues...".
• Orbelain 18.Nénimë:densely clouded sky, -5°, stormy and strong snowfall,slightly increasing crescent.The ship has to anchor along the river bank for the night, near an old ruin.A local goblin tribe, the Gong-Barguyat approaches us, we are unused to goblins trying to openly barter with men, but probably they deem the ship's crew too dangerous to get into trouble with so their leader Grazókh prefers to act amicable.
• Orgilion 19.Nénimë: clouded with few gaps, 2°, storm and heavy rainfall,Slightly increasing crescent.Again we have to anchor near the river bank and spend the night near a peasant's house, though the building seems to have been abandoned just recently.
• Oranor 20.Nénimë:Clouded, rainy, windy, 2°,nearly half-moon.We arrive at "Fólagul", a small river-haven near the western rock-outcroppings of the lower kyn hills.We leave the ship and go on land as we do not wish to follow the ship's route northeast towards the Mouths of the Kól.The town looks decrepit, the local animals make strange noises, there are barking dogs, screeching cats, mooing cows... we choose to saddle our horses and leave this place as soon as we can.
• Orithil 21.Nénimë:clouded sky, slight rain, light breeze, 3°,Nearly halfmoon.We cross a bridge guarded by a troll named Babûga, but she is satisfied with collecting a toll.We spend the night at a guesthouse named "the grey veil" with deafening creaking wooden floor.
• Orgaladh 22.Nénimë:clouded with gaps, stiff breeze, ,dry, 6°, halfmoon.We meet a man named Ôran-îbar ,who professes to be a judge on the way to a village-tribunal.We spend the night near a hunting-lodge containing a small shrine of the Hunter-spirit Pael.
• Ormenel 23.Nénimë:sunny, cloudless, 1°,inceasing moon.Again parts of our rations seem to be rotten or infested by maggots.We spend the night at a recently abandoned campsite.
• Oraearon 24.Nénimë:some clouds, fresh breeze, dry, -5°,nearly fullmoon.We are attacked by a pack of hungry plains-hounds.The night we spend near the wreckage of an old wain.
• Orbelain 25.Nénimë:some clouds, fresh breeze, dry, -8°,Nearly full moon.As we pass a decaying tree a branch snapping off nearly hits Rhûrandir on his head, luckily his horse is not injured.We rest the night near the remains of a nomad campsite which seems to have been raided by Orcs, men or both, though it's people stay silent and repellent.
• Orgilion 26.Nénimë:clouded with gaps, soft hreeze, light rain, -3°,Nearly new moon.The night we camp near a lair of great wolfspiders, we are not attacked but a sudden windblow flares up our campfire starting a small conflagration, nobody is seriously hurt.
• Oranor 27.Nénimë:cloudfree, strong wind, dry, 16°,nearly new moon.We hear a child shouting for help for a crashed and injured person.We rush to help and are able to help Marig's,an easterling boy, father Taikhu, a nomad-hunter.We stay the night at their refuge, a small cave.
• Orithil 28.Nénimë:cloudless, fresh breeze, dry, 14°,almost new moon.Our new friends tell us a bit more about the locals, they are part of a people known as the "Rahiwenna", free nomads who are oppressed by the Cityfolk and ferociously hate the "smiling God", who seems to be the indigenous identity of the Nameless.They tell us today is the "Day of renewal", a local holiday and a great bazaar in the towns and cities, though all larger settlements are at least three to four days away, yet we choose to depart and continue our trip.
• Orgaladh 29. Nénimë:clouded sky, strong wind, heavy rain, -6 °,new moon.We are advancing slowly, luckily we find refuge under a ramshackle hut.Azgor has been infested by fleas!
• Ormenel 30. Nénimë:clouded with gaps, windstill, dry, 11°,slightly advancing crescent.We find a spring with an immensely beautiful maiden sitting beside it, singing an enchanting song in a language alien to our ears.we believe she , her name is Kashôhăn,must be a dryad or other friendly spirit.We can refill our waterskins and rest for the night only to be visited by a great cat,believing it to be one of those Trilkhun we had heard the easterlings speak of.

Súlimë (Skhôr)

• Oraearon 1. Súlimë:clouded with gaps, stiff breeze, heavy rain, -5°,slightly increasing moon.We meet a small group of people led by a beggar-nun named Orlit, of some Peonian Order who tells us her folk were the victims of a raid and asks for alms and charity.At last we know civilization is close... we spend the night near a small hamlet named Arsh-Úbesh on the edge of Ûrsh-Ata, what seems to be a large underground-tomb complex.
• Orbelain 2.Súlimë:clouded with gaps, light wind, dry, 15°,increasing moon.We arrive at a walled town called "Old Ashkir" , it is the main settlement of the central Kyn Hills.In the city we come upon a tantalizing tribal dancer named Yeshan-Sâhd.Some cur from the surrounding crowd seemingly misunderstands her attitude as an offer only to find himself cut down by her scimitar... at once the mob angrily demands the death of "that murderous harlot"... later we find the "Broken spear",a sufficient guesthouse where we are invited by gambling easterlings to join their round, seemingly they use small painted animal bones as Dice.We also convince Azgor to take a hot bath and get rid of the fleas.

• Orgilion 3.Súlimë:Single clouds, fresh breeze, dry, 0°,increasing moon.We prepare to leave town for the hill-country getting new provisions and renewing necessary equipment as the Easterlings beget a Festivity of the local guilds.All Guildmasters have gathered and the Guild's ark is carried through town in a large procession ending at the Temple of Sûr, the smiling Lord of Gifts...
• Oranor 4.Súlimë: single clouds, light wind, dry, -1 °, increasing moon.We have entered the hill- country and are surprised by a sudden hailstorm.Luckily we find a place to camp at a sheltered clearing, putting up out tents Banaid is surprised to find a Mandrake.
• Orithil 5.Súlimë:densely clouded sky, stiff breeze, a few flakes of snow, -2°, nearly crescent moon.As we make our way we come upon what we first thought to be a frozen corpse of a man, but examining closer it seems to be a sort of lizard-like creature, possibly in rigor of cold.Again we camp at a forsaken farm, we see swampstars far away in the horizon.
• Orgaladh 6.Súlimë:densely clouded sky, strong wind, no precipitation, -4°, crescent moon.We meet a strangely dressed young woman named Dinu who offers some help if any of us was in need of medical treatment,though she does not appear to be a professional healer, she has a bearing which makes us suspect she may be some sort of witch.Again we camp near some old standing stones.Our host tells us about a dragon-hoard, ist must be the same we have already heard about before.
• Ormenel 7.Súlimë:clouded with few gaps, windstill, no precipitation, 5°,waxing moon.We descend to the lowland steppes, from afar we see a strange appearing horse, feeling were being observed.We find a place to camp, the region is home to Sandcats.
• Oraearon 8.Súlimë:closed cloud cover, soft breeze, no rainfall, 3°, waxing moon.We come to a small encampment of easterling noblemen who relax from traveling and hunting, the leader is a woman named Magochil .It is a strange kind of beast called a "halflizard" they are looking for.
• Orbelain 9.Súlimë:sunny with single clouds, stiff breeze, no rainfall, 1°, nearly full moon.At the far horizon appear the shapes of hills.We come upon two Wolfriders, the night we camp at a place where what easterlings call "teargrass" grows.
• Orgilion 10.Súlimë:clouded sky with few small gaps, light wind, no rainfall, 8°, nearly full moon.We have come to a hilly country and believe this must be the southernmost Langurian Kyn we heard about, named after an ancient Tribe of men who lived here some millenium before.We come upon a group of small, but very burly goblins, they seem to think of us as too dangerous to attack and propose to barter... we still are not used to be approached by Orcs in a seemingly amicable way, we do not trust them, but we trust our amulet which they seem to recognize as a badge of some authority and remember how the easterlings interact with these fiends.We camp not far from a herd of wild goats.
• Oranor 11.Súlimë: sunny cloudless sky, windstill, dry, about 25° we are surprised how unexpectedly hit is is, nearly full moon.We are surprised by a spectre seemingly descending from the sky in shape if a giant Bear, but preparing for battle it just vanishes.We hear a a faint and monotonous female singing voice but cannot make it where it comes from.This can only be some sort of illusion spell.We camp the night near an old but cold fireplace, people must come this route on regular terms, we must still be on the right road.
• Orithil 12. Súlimë:sunny cloudless sky, strong wind, no rain, -2°, full moon.We still travel a land of steppe and hills.No singing birds, no insectsounds, even the wind seems to be mute.We find a field of teargrass to camp safely.
• Orgaladh 13.Súlimë:single clouds, stormy, no rainfall, -12°, full moon.The hills on the horizon almost look like the shape of some sleeping giant.We find an uninhabited cave to camp for the night.
• Ormenel 14.Súlimë:Single clouds, sunny but stormy, no rainfall, 8°.We encounter a trek of wains, one if the wagon breaks down with a splintered wheel, we ask the Caravan-master, one Málban, if we can help out but it's a common thing to happen to treks and the easterlings are well prepared.The nearest settlement cannot be far too far away,maybe a day's ride.We camp the night with the wain-easterlings but find their food detestable,though we try to be polite and eat wgat is kindly shared with us.
• Oraearon 15.Súlimë: clouded sky with few gaps, stiff breeze, dry, 11°, full moon.We have come to the Talathrant Crossings, there us a quite large settlement here the natives call Vrai-Kól.Street urchins, small children really surround us as we enter town, staring amazed at us and our equipment.Not for long time and as they gave vanished we realize some things from our saddlebags are missing.We find a Tavern named "the black Tankard" the furniture is surprisingly well made, true craftsmanship!
• Orbelain 16. Súlimë:single clouds, slight breeze, no rainfall, -3 °, slightly descescending moon.Vrai-kól is actually a pretty large city with a huge riverport and many fine buildings, but the run-down shanties of the poor are also sprawling out wide into the hills... we are not booking passage on one of the ships but take a ferry to the Talathrant's east bank where local priests are walking the fields, blessing the crops.
• Orgilion 17. Súlimë: densely clouded sky, fresh breeze, no rain, 8°, waning moon.A large travelling coach drawn by fout large black horses claims the entire width of the road, we step aside.The country is starting to be more and more wooded now, no doubt on the horizon stretches a large forestland, but we don't want to lose much time to bypassing it north or south as we have no idea of the woodlands real expansions, there certainly must be a road leading through it...
• Oranor 18. Súlimë:sunny, cloudless sky, fresh breeze, dry, 10°, waning moon. Following the track through the more and more dense getting woodlands we meet a company of rough looking lackeys led by a man named Hûndish professing to be on the hunt for some escaped Thralls.Seemingly the woods do not only provide an obstacle for travelers but also serve as a home and refuge. Kirgai the natives call it which translates just as "tall Forest", and indeed... aside from shorter birches and a thick undergrowth the forest is dominated by very tall pines that dwarf most trees we saw before in the many smaller woodlands which dotted the steppes... we camp the night at a secluded glade.
• Orithil 19.Súlimë:densely clouded sky, windstill, heavy rain, 10°, nearly half-moon.Despite the dense forest, which however proves little shelter as long as we stay on the proper road, the heavy rain is an extreme discomfort. We observe a rugged, bearded and hairy man as he moves silently along the lower trees and less dense thickets... he has noticed us, watches us but passes on silently. As we camp we hear loud voices of birds and other animals from the forest.
• Orgaladh 20.Súlimë:dense clouded sky, soft breeze, drizzling rain, 3°, crescent moon.we find mushrooms but do not recognize them as edible or poisonous.We find an empty woodman's shack... so many caves and huts along the roads serve as shelter for travelers, who leave some food and other useful stuff for the next guest.An interesting custom this "steppe-code".
• Ormenel 21.Súlimë:densely clouded sky, windstill, no rain, 12°, waning moon.Following the road we come to a tall tower rising high over the sea of leaves, but we cannot enter, we decide to move on and camp near what we believe to be the remnant of a forsaken but not forgotten ritual place.
• Oraearon 22.Súlimë:sunny single clouds, windstill, no rain, 18°, waning moon.We meet an arrogant armored horseman, Kaufang, some kind of Knight who asks us for our destination and reason to travel, we spend the night at a clearing with a small river.
• Orbelain 23.Súlimë:some small gaps on the clouded sky,light wind, no rain,17°, almost new moon.Along the road we notice a tree with strangely marked signs, likely some sort of "totem" or "taboo" of the local woodland-tribes. We camp at a grove, the trees are adorned with strange cords and markings, some small figures made of clay, others of bone, seemingly this is a sort of religious place, or maybe it was made to keep something in the forest and away from the road?
• Orgilion 24.Súlimë:single clouds, stormy, no rain, 3°, almost new moon.We encounter a group of men in robes led by one Músrach, they look like priests or monastics though they are heavy armed like soldiers too.They ask us questions about the spirits of the dead and the "dead men of the forest" but we don't know anything and haven't encountered anything notewothy.The forest now is becoming less dense, soon we see larger areas of short grass.The night we stay at a small settlement of loggers who live near the forest eaves.
• Oranor 25.Súlimë:densely clouded sky, stiff breeze, heavy rain, 1°, almost new moon. Passing smaller wooded areas we are now back in the steppes,in a way we feel more comfortable and safe here, where you believe you can see a potential enemy from afar and don't feel constantly threatened from whatever might be lurking in the thickets.Thinking so we are surprised to suddenly encounter: an Elf! He approaches us critically but decides we are not hostile.His name is Ôlandêr and he is able to converse with us , though he does not speak Westron.He is surprised and amazed that Rhûrandir knows Sindarin and although he does not profess to know the language he learns amazingly quick and soon he and Rhûrandir talk in better Sindarin than the plainstogue gibberish we got used to.Unluckily the other three of us do not understand a single word!Ôlandêr leads us to a large tree whose foliage and undergrowth serves as a natural cave-like shelter.We camp the night here.
• Orithil 26.Súlimë:some cloudholes, stiff breeze, no rain, 6°, waxing moon.We travel along with Ôlandêr who tells us that his people are the Kindi, "plains-elves", and they knew of us and our journey since quite some time,even before we had crossed the Talathrant or "Paldarattâ" as Ôlandêr pronounces it.His folk shun mortal men and especially the towns and large cities, but a few on and off have contact with the Nomads.He tells us that "Intondo Colindo" wants to see us and we will likely meet him at a place far east called "Linimer", but he also tells us that "Fimardi and Linimer are not safe anymore" and there is War and a kind of Siege.He leads us to a safe cave where we can camp for the night and refill rations,he will however not travel,any further with us as there are "men always nearby" and his folk shun the roads.Apparently there is a "great town of evil" about a week eastwards... but that is exactly where the roads lead to."We will in the east meet again" he says as a sort of goodbye.
• Orgaladh 27.Súlimë:cloudless sky, fresh breeze, no rain, 22°, waxing moon.A group of rugged, armed men led by one Hasdûrm, camps alongside the road, we believe they must be mercenaries as they stare at us hostily.The night we camp at the ruin of an old house.
• Ormenel 28.Súlimë:few cloudholes, windstill, no rain, 11°, waxing moon.We hear cries and sound of fighting... a group of travelers had been waylaid by steppe-bandits at first unsure which side to choose we enter fight at support of what we believe to be the travelers, forcing the brigands to flee... luckily they were not that many and the travelers were not as weak as they appeared.The troops leader Bolranth thanks us for the support, apparently he and his fellow travellers are on the way to "the great city" , we are asked to join them ... well, why not? Obviously there is safety in numbers.
• Oraearon 29.Súlimë:Sunny, cloudless, soft breeze, dry, 21°. Close to cescent.Our new friends seem friendly enough, Bolranth proves to be a good conversation partner, though he asks if we are "Nû" and "Westlings".We decide to cheat and pretend that we come from the lands surrounding the "great Inland sea", west of Govedalend, Bolranth certainly believes us and assures us "there are many good people there at the great Sea" , however he certainly seems to hate the "devils of Ond" and the "blood-drinking strawheads" of the western lands, "Slaves of the white furies".Of course we agree.We stay the night at a wooden House along the road.Bolranth honors the "steppe code" by exchanging some of the left provisions with some of his own but angrily swears as he notices a small shrine of Vadan in a corner of the house "we should put that away, i would burn it but i dare not to!".Instead of putting it to the fire he takes it out of the house though we notice he does not throw it away but hides it carefully behind some foliage... who is he afraid of and why?
• Orbelain 30. Súlimë:cloudfree, stiff breeze, no rain.8°.half moon. We arrive at a small village named Ára-Alík, people seem to be reluctant and timid.Some of the buildings have been damaged by a storm recently.We spend the night at a sort of guesthouse named "the Green staff", there is a minstrel named Niônye who plays only sad songs.

• Tuilérë: cloudfree, strong wind, no rain.3°. Increasing moon.We move on along the great road, a sort of great canopy shelters a clumsy troll named Óbakh who demands road-toll, we pay.At the evening we arrive at the Great city of Palisor, Dalgob-Fhagoi, the "city of the plains".We enter it's great golden gates, a woman named Gyônyü in long white robes enlightens every visitor about the local laws and the non-tolerance policy against the sacrilege of magic and witchcraft.The city streets are jammed by humans and animals, people from all over Rhûn and beyond come here to trade or for all other sorts of business.The quarters of the poor are in terrible condition, armed patrols can be seen on every corner.The quarters of the wealthy are almost palace like, but heavily armed men (and orcs!) also here.We spend the night at a Meadhall named "Broken Thorn", the owner's cat seems to be quite infatuated with Rhurandir and doesn't stop to jump on his lap and prowl around his tankard and meal.We do not like this city.If we recollect our days of travel rightly it is Orgaladh today, this means today is the high festival of tuilére, but we spend it in a run-down enemy city, yet we share some waybread and brandy and Rhûrandir insists on the standing silence, only Azgor is a bit grumpy and turns away.

Víressë: (Ördö)

• Oranor 1. Víressë:densely clouded sky,stiff breeze, slight rain,1°.increasing moon.The people of these lands call themselves the Kûl-Ahar, yet we still see bronze-clad warriors everywhere and they seemingly come from many tribes and peoples, the locals speak a dialect of an ancient language called Aharian, but almost all higher officials write and converse in a form which is no doubt heavily influenced by the Black Speech, still all travelers, nomads and merchants know the plains tongue.We leave the city just as a local warlord named Mubhârikh returns home with his host in a triumphal ceremony and procession, no doubt from some victorious campaign against some pityable rebels.But so nobody pays attention to,our small group and generally the Kûl-Ahar seem to be people who ask few questions and tend to mind to their own business.Refreshed and with new provisions we leave the ugly behemoth of an easterling city and follow the road, outlying poor shantytowns follow sprawl put into the steppes, but they become smaller and look more lost hour after hour and before we notice we seem to have left the last outlying shack behind us and are back ro the vast grasslands.We breathe the cold air and already feel more free.

Notes

The route does not use the scale of Pete Fenlon's artistic map but more realistic measurements of approx. 4777 miles, for which the small fellowship, traveling mostly by pony or light wagon needs ca. 370 days. The lands roads are not paved but marked by tall wooden signposts, well traveled and held in acceptable condition by Sauron's armies and easterling caravans.Various caves and lodges along the route provide safe shelter and are taken care of by travellers themselves.

Apart from MERP the campaign made use of the travelling system from the Dark Eye and found the "Hordelands" setting from D&D's forgotten realms and some elements from Earthdawn's "Barsaive", The Dark Eye's "Orkland" and "Shadowlands", 7th seas "the East" and "Ussura" and Conan's Zamoria and Shadizar useful to flesh out the underdescribed Wild Lands of central Middle-Earth.Outside of Roleplaying material turk and mongol mythology and folk and fairytales, Prester John, and the Conan comics set in Turan and Hyarkania proved good reads.Computer games in Worlds similar to Middle-Earth, describing travels in Lands ruled by Orcs or oppressive regimes, influenced by asian fantasy or medieval eastern europe were some minor influence: Ishar I-III and Gothic 3.Also nice: Steppe Warrior or "Sword & Saddle" movies such as "The Secret of the Black Dragon" and Marco Polo movies and documentaries.

All in all "the Rhûn" in this campaign started off as a vaguely tolkienized-Mongolia or Persia but pretty soon evolved into an oppressive dark theocratic realm in many ways closer to an early czarist-russia or a largely fictionalized version of the early Ottoman empire rather than a Khaganate.

Donjon actually provided some nice tools which came to use on and off:[1]
