[QUOTE="Sanglorian, post: 5866041, member: 83822"] I love the alternative monster origins that we've got going on. The information on the Lion's Day makes me wonder if there's some material that should exist outside of hex entries (that’s what you’ve done with the Long Night). As a DM during a game, the last thing I want is to be chasing religious lore through dozens of hex entries. Anyway, I read through the whole document and picked out all the references to monsters, gods, celestial events and the Twelve Nations that I could find. There are upwards of a hundred monsters mentioned so far! [B]MONSTERS[/B] Half-breeds are listed under their non-human full breed (e.g. for half-elves see Elves (half-elves)). Types of bird are listed under Birds; types of insect are listed under Insects. 00.00: More than one of this creature can be found here.
