Lately I have become really taken with the idea of giving a facelift to all my old Birthright material and using it as a basis for my new homebrew campaign to commense with the release of 4th ed. Do any of you know of any great resources online for information on Cerilia? Maybe some maps without the old domain information on them. I intend to do without the PCs as rulers of kindgoms theme and just pull from the rich history of the world.
Thanks

I really like the idea of the divine essence that leaked into the mortal population serving to explain heroic characteristics and not rulership over the land. The bloodlines would enable the casting of true magic (spells higher than 3rd level, or 0 level I havn't decided), access to heroic classes and other things. It would also enable the crafting of magic items, something that was once the providence of the gods alone. This would go a long way to explaining the rarity of powerful magical items that I like in my games. Lay magic and possibly weaker artifice type magic would be the only types availabel to the non-heroic citizens of the world.

Well, there is a good lot of stuff over at birthright.net
I would also recommen looking at the dragonmark feats from eberron for a 3.5 way of covering the blood abilities.
Also, I highly recommend using the birthright setting as is, and just ignoring the regents part of it. Nothing prevents you from just adventuring there. When you get to high enough level, and you want to carve out a kingdom, you can.
