Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nebuchadnezzar" data-source="post: 425486" data-attributes="member: 1938">Regarding awakened (and talking) animalsSomething from my homebrewed campaign-world:The Forest of White Shadows: The Forest of White Shadows, located north of Ecliptea, is one of the most dangerous forests in Mardukia. Ever since the War of Fiends, the forest has been a sanctuary for devils and demons alike. The fiends have brought the eternal conflict between their respective races with them to the forest. The forest is now (and has been for a long time) a battleground between demons and devils. All the creatures of the forest have sided with either the demons or the devils, including a group of evil druids who call themselves the Claws of Eavyra. These druids have awakened all the animals of the forest, using them as servants and soldiers. This makes the forest as bizarre as it is dangerous. The forest has twisted the minds of the animals, rendering them insane and hateful of people from the outside (as they call any anyone not of the forest). At first the animals keep themselves hidden from visitors. They then begin to whisper amongst themselves, sharing taunts and mocking the outsiders. The birds of the forest are especially infamous for their cruelty. They poke out the eyes of weary travelers who have fallen asleep and cackle taunts so spiteful they could unnerve a demon. Anyway, I really like the idea of talking animals, and plan to include quite a few in one of the cities in Mardukia. This city is governed by cultists of Socothbenoth (a demon prince from Armies of the Abyss with the portfolios sexual perversion, prostitution, taboos, exploration). The rulers have awakened a few animals which participate in vile sexual pursuits with the innhabitants of the city. Once every week there is a "Festival of Ecstacy" in the city, where people commit horrible sexual atrocities against each other. Also, there are caverns in a mountain, which stand directly next to the city, where people come to experience the true nature of Nothingness and spiritual emptiness. This is part of the twisted game by the cult to ultimately both tantalize and torment the city's innhabitants.</blockquote>
