The culmination of more than two years of extensive research, design, and consultation with Misty and her husband Larry Dixon, this campaign presents the most complete maps to date of Haven, the Collegium and Palace grounds, White Gryphon, and the world of Velgarth, as well as an official timeline poster with hundreds of entries that cover almost 3000 years of Valdemar history. Plus, we've created new 32mm miniatures, enamel pins, t-shirts, and more to help immerse yourself in the series that spans over 40 novels and countless short stories.
WHY THIS CAMPAIGN?
This campaign exists because we're passionate about the incredible world that Misty and Larry have created over the past thirty-five years. More importantly, this campaign is set up to help us support an author and artist who are now in their 70's. 40% of the funds raised in this campaign go directly to Misty and Larry, while the rest of the money raised covers manufacturing, paying our artists, campaign management, platform fees, and advertising.
ORIGINAL VALDEMAR ART
The art in this campaign is a labor of love from professional artists, sculptors, and designers who are also huge Valdemar fans. Led by Larry Dixon and Care Knyght, the team spent the last two years sketching, revising, reviewing, and then painting the world of Valdemar, from height maps of Haven's hills to the exact layout of White Gryphon. We've debated wall construction techniques, the bell tower location, and stable layouts. And we've made so many sketches of gryphons to get their musculature just right. So. Many.

THE OFFICIAL VALDEMAR TIMELINE
With well over forty novels and many more short stories published over more than thirty years, the history of Valdemar is almost too long to comprehend, covering almost 3000 years of history. Now, it all comes together on a massive timeline map that condenses over one hundred pages of research from Valdemar scholars into an official guide to the major events that shaped the world's history.
Using candlemarks—Valdemar's traditional timekeeping method—this timeline visualizes the world's history as a series of candles, each representing a major trilogy/series.
