[QUOTE="Wik, post: 5564874, member: 40177"] My campaign doesn't really have much in the way of animal husbandry, but I'll list the ones I can think of: 1) The Otterfolk raise Clams. As in, lots and lots of clams. Their various weirs have all grown to develop various breeds of clams, most famously the "healing clam" which is the primary component for most healing potions in the Shattered Isles. Naturally, these clams are the primary economic trade item for the Otterfolk. 2) The Selvarene (Think the Wood Elf equivalent of Eladrin) raise giant owls. However, these intelligents beasts are not "domesticated" but are instead treated as partners, and are only rarely called upon to serve as mounts - to transport small strike teams over relatively short distances in a quick amount of time. 3) Not really domestication, but the halflings, who are well regarded as sailors in the isles, have worked out ways to primitively communicate with the pods of killer whales in the region, by dropping fish in certain areas to discourage curious whales from rubbing against a halfling catamaran. There are legends that halflings have used this technique against orc drommonds, and it is certainly true that the orc pirates always give the halflings a wide berth - the only race they ignore, which gives some credence to this theory.
