[QUOTE="Tonguez, post: 8395643, member: 1125"] Thats essentially what I did with one of my homebrews, in the modern era the PCs started uncovering ancient ruins with statues and hieroglyphs of serpent headed ‘snake people’ and eventually uncovered a tomb of mummified snake men (called Lamia imc) who of course were undead. The Church however suppressed any suggestion that they were signs of an ancient serpent civilisation. essentially the worlds prehistory was dominated by the Lamia Queen Nakasha, high priestess of the ’Great Devourer who Encircles’. The Lamia empire was a theocracy where females were priesthood and males were warrior-overseers who conquered and dominated other races. The Lamia enslaved the Saurials (Lizardmen and Tri-horns) to build their Ziggurat temples and made alliances with Dragons (leading to Lamia/Dragon and Lizardman/Dragon crossbreeds). Anyway when mammalian races started to appea they were initially treated as food and then as enemies, but then some mysterious cataclysm occured and the Queen Nakasha fell into a slumber and the Lamia Empire collapsed, ther Lizardmen rebelled and the Dragons withdrew from the mortal world. The Lamia who remained become tyranical despots and were eventually overthrown and forced into hiding, using their shapechanging ability to live among the warm-bloods Leading to legends of dopplegangers and vampires. Nakasha has slept for thousands of years but is now awakening and wants to reclaim her empire … That however was backstory to a otherwise standard fantasy world, not one created from the ground up to be dominated by reptiles [/QUOTE]
