Introduction
Where do I begin?
Fobin is a powerful place. It is the last keep between the Thardic Republic and Themeson Keep--disputed land between the Coranan Senate and the Crown of Rethem. It could be the focal point of the next great war. The legion is always on the move, out to the border to repel raiders, on gargun hunts or just repairing the local roads.
The people of Fobin are nice, even respecting of strangers like us. They don't welcome us, but neither do they gouge us in barter and trade. The people of Tharda are very money oriented. (That's a polite way of saying they're greedy.) But otherwise they are very much like you, or me.
What you hold in your hands is a collection of the lore, notes on the people and the places around this legion fortification. I hope it helps you as much as it did me.
-- Dowrela, Travelling Minstrel

The Date
The year is 720TR. The last update made to this information was in 718TR, but I suspect much has changed in the last two years. Certainly much more will change in the coming two.
The year is broken up into 12 months. They are:
| Spring | Summer | Autumn | Winter |
| 1 Nuzyael | 4 Nolus | 7 Azura | 10 Ilvin |
| 2 Peonu | 5 Larane | 8 Halane | 11 Navek |
| 3 Kelen | 6 Agrazhar | 9 Savor | 12 Morgat |
Each month has 30 days. Each day has 24 hours.

The HârnMaster System
This supplement is written with the HârnMaster system in mind. It talks of magic, psionics, religion and skills. The HârnMaster system has 13 stats, ranging from 3-18 and uses a d100 skill based system. Each skill is based on the average of 3 stats (sometimes the same stat is used more than once) plus an astrological birth sign (called a sunsign) bonus of 1-3. Each skill has a base, and an Mastery Level (ML). The ML is the base times a multiplier plus experience.
To fully use this supplement you need only what you have in your hands. If you wish to expand upon its knowledge, the following publications from Columbia Games are helpful: HârnMaster Rules (version 1 or version 2), The Thardic Republican Module, The Rethem Kingdom Module, The Kandian Kingdom Module. Castles of Hârn (for Geishtei castle) and Cities of Hârn (for Coranan, and information on the red guard and the senate). You will also need a copy of Jonathan M. Davidson's Alternate Army.

Contents
This supplement is divided into articles that build upon one another to form a whole. Each article is individually numbered. The articles are:
- Fobin: A general introduction and overview to the legion town and keep, its economics, staffing and other such details.
- Caer Fobin: The caer, its buildings and inhabitants in some detail. The caer is the residence of both General Horrik Barral and the local Magistrate Brian Wytel.

- Navehian Temple: There is a small band of Navehians in Fobin. While the local legion does suspect their presence, they have no proof. The band has yet to do anything to cause their destruction...yet.
- Scarlet Veil Compound: An overview of the heretical order that promotes motherhood and prophecy while praying to the Evil God of War, Agrik. While accepted by the locals, they try to stay out of a stranger's way. Still many come seeking them.
- The Riverside Chapel: A brief article on the Pennon place of worship in Fobin. It's a little off the beaten path, but just follow your nose - there's a good meal awaiting you with Jarrel and Sharla as eager listeners to the gossip of the outside world.
