Message: <blockquote data-quote="Davachido" data-source="post: 5673461" data-attributes="member: 85919">I am running a campaign in a desert setting based somewhat close to that of ancient Egypt. I have plots set up for the necromancers and the liches that make the place their home, and as per typical fashion they are trying to turn the whole world under undead dominion. There is a special type of house ruled magic in the old civilization that has been lost under the sands of the desert based on hieroglyphs.The players will be able to find out things about this old civilization through exploration (its a large scale exploration campaign). However connected to these glyphs are an ancient race of creatures that have taught the old civilization how to use the glyphs for magical purposes. This ancient race are connected to the gods of the desert and were blessed with the knowledge of the glyphs. I have planned a boneyard that the PCs can find that will have the skeletons of this ancient creature race. The only problem I've got now is I have no idea what creature to choose. The desert is part of a larger world run by other DMs so there are some restrictions on what kind of creature I can choose. In this predetermined setting dragons were never part of the plane and sphinxes are a more common occurance and are more like the lions of the desert as opposed to an ancient magic race. So does anyone know of some Mythological Egyptian creatures or some desert themed creatures that seem to fit feasibly a magic casting creature race that they can point me to?One last stipulation the race can't be humanoid.</blockquote>
