One-of-a-kind Arduin items[edit]
Hargrave's death in 1988 left many Arduin items press-ready but unpublished and/
or incomplete. A few items he created on a whim for those he especially liked or
was close to. Among these are the following:
The Book of the Shining Land
Created December/January, 1980-81. Dedication and signature inside front cover.
This is a complete campaign area, designed as a generic adventure campaign
suitable for insertion into any RPG, written by David for his longtime friend, writer
Paul Mosher. The Book of the Shining Land comprises 118 handwritten pages of
101⁄4 × 77⁄8 quad ruled paper in a composition style notebook. It includes a
Master Map of the area (approximately 100 miles square) and 59 "keyed"
adventure area maps all cross-referenced off of the Master Map.
The Book of Dreams of Lost Sardath
Created October 1981. Similar in size and concept to The Book of the Shining
Land, this work comprises 158 handwritten pages of 10 × 77⁄8 quad ruled paper in
a composition style notebook. Includes a Master Map of an area approximately 100
miles square. This work was written by David for his longtime friend, writer Paul
Mosher. It comprises a "lost" island kingdom containing 136 villages/towns/cities
cross referenced on the Master Map as well as 79 adventure area maps, of which
31 are "keyed".
Lancer's Rest
Created October 1987. One of the last game-related items created by David A.
Hargrave before his death in August 1988, Lancer's Rest was Lance
Mazmanian's personal burial chamber, a very large single-level dungeon adventure
which included an Arduin "Hell Spiral"[5] and a 3,000 ft (910 m) pool where
Mazmanian's corpse was entombed. Created by Hargrave as a tongue-in-cheek
tribute, the adventure itself was essentially a quest to gain life-prolonging treasure
while avoiding Mazmanian's wandering Avatar, an extremely powerful Lich-like
entity who would either attack or help a party on random percentage roll.[6]
Per Emperors Choice Games & Miniatures Corp.: Lancers Rest has been fully
developed and written and art completed in 2023 and is to be released with the
new Arduin Bloody Arduin rules system in 2024.[7]
