A wealthy man had a harem and was getting bored with his wives around about wife number 20, so he started collecting wives from nonhuman races.  Starting with Elves, Gnomes, and Dwarves, then Orcs, Hobgoblins, and Bugbears, each successive wife became more and more unusual.  His vampric Illithid wife was the last one..!83. Foxbird's Majestic Bestiary of The Arcanely Augmented: This low building is comprised of several towers, greenhouses, netted enclosures, stone sections, and tented areas all linked together in a somewhat labyrinthian conglomerate.  The owner and proprietor of this residence/business is Allieuwishimicai Hiarreimus Foxbird: "Sorceror, Summonor and Artificier of Majically Blended Hybrid Beasts" as he bills himself.  He creates fanciful creatures for use as pets, mounts, work animals, and guards.  He doesn't make intelligent hybrids as he feels that to do so is unethical, he also makes sure that all his creations are sterile. (again, to avoid the unethical practice of unleashing his creations upon the natural ecology)  Allieu(*cough,cough*)icai gives guided tours of his creations (3 sp per person, children for free - must be acompanied by their guardian), will sell select creatures to interested (and wealthy, they're not cheap!) individuals, and even take commissions for special creations that interest him. (if you have to ask the price then you can't afford it!)84. The Home of Hansel and His Wooden Wife: This cottage has a charming, well-kept appearance. a short, stone paved path leads from the white fence to the wooden door of this white house.  Inside lives Hansel Morrottin, a simple labourer at a local warehouse.  Several years ago his wife Alecia fell ill to a terrible wasting sickness for which there was no cure.  Long after her death, poor Hansel was still deeply depressed and dispondent.  Fearing that his son-in-law would waste away unto death through a simple unwillingness to go on living, Alecia's father (an archmage) constructed an animated wooden automaton in the likeness of his dead daughter for his lonely and inconsolable son-in-law.  This was intended to act as a reminder of his deceased wife and hopefully ease the grieving, however it was a stronger reminder than the old mage would have predicted.  Hansel took to the wooden woman immediately, treating it as though it really were Alecia.  The archmage initally attempted to explain to Hansel that this wasn't really Alecia returned to him, but Hansel became so agitated that the older man thought it wise to leave him be.  Hansel is happy and contented now, living in marital bliss with his wooden wife.------------------------------------------------------------Coming Soon:The Glistening Pools of The MerikulioThe Fabulous Bolistche GardensKoss and his Marvelous MusiciansSee it all here in this very thread! </blockquote>
