[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 8638090, member: 19675"] One of the last times I homebrewed a campaign with a “lost” civilization, I used a conceit that the ancients in question had left no known artifacts or architecture that depicted themselves, and their writings were not exactly clear either. There was a race of primitives- I used a D20 version of Seshayans- that had legends about the ancients, but even they were uncertain about what they looked like. Turns out, the ancient civilization was Seshayan, but a cataclysmic war had caused a collapse (cribbed loosely from the legends of the fall of Atlantis). I suggested an entirely different take on a setting like this a decade or so ago to another ENWorlder. The natives of the new lands had a society similar to Plains Indian culture post the introduction of the horse by Europeans. Except in this setting, horses were replaced by domesticated dino raptors or large flightless predatory birds like moas. [/QUOTE]
