Bestiary of Azmoth
Lieutenant Kije:
So after another quick reading of the intro material I found that according to this...
--- Quote ---All observed examples have shared some traditional traits. They are meat eaters, and therefore prey frequently on domesticated animals. They tend to be solitary, and are never observed in more than a family group. All of them retain the wings of the bird heritage and are capable of flight, making them exceedingly dangerous. All observed samples have also had the posterior of a mammal, though scholars theorize the potential for reptilian griffons.

...griffons may be more common than I supposed. This, though, is where I got the idea of griffon cavalry to be rare/unheard of:
--- Quote ---There are even rumors of tribal peoples who ride griffons into battle.

(speaking of peoples in the North.)
Spriggan:
A few more ideas that I'm thinking of.
Huge Elefant sized insects (probaly beetles) that have herds in the deserts. Insects need less water then other animals so I think this might be a nice addition to a desert planet. Also sometime relay big ones (weither or not their the same specites or look the same is something I have yet to decide upon) wander in from the southern wastes (ie past that 800 mile mark) that are as big as some small houses.
Second is what are our plans for Ghosts, entities and undead in general?
The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers:
big insects = cool
ghosts and the undead. Well, we dont' want to eliminate the possibility, I don't think. But I don't think we want whole nations of undead. The supernatural should be uncommon. If you want to refer to the undead, like a land where the dead walk, or a famous ghost, or something, leave it as superstition and rumors for now, I'd think.
Spriggan:
I was planning on haveing some old ruins that were haunted, and maybe a ghost caravan that wandered the desert at night seaming to interact with something that no one else can see. I don't realy care to have many of your standard D&D undead but I do want to have spirits or ghosts in places. Most not being able to interact with the material world almost as if you're looking into the Spirit world. But if it's not what you want to do I can scrap that.
The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers:
well, it sounds good. Is there any reason why the main write up can't be 'travellers report' or something? So when we actually do adventures or stories there, we can make it real or false reports about the ghosts
That way, thde main setting can be vague, but we can make it surprising when we actually need to detail it. more of a showmanship/suspense thing than anythign else.
