Snail People of Uod

Back soon.

A few useful notes on farming in general. Iron Rations for parts of Uod.

"Oh good point. Potentially, so also are Dragons and Giants, which is why I implied in one of the many WFRP books I wrote that Dragons, Eagles and Giants were the original inhabitants before the Old Ones arrived - certainly true of Dragons** and Eagles. The myth it appeared in suggested Eagles were of the air, Giants of the land and Dragons of beneath, but anyway, the suggestion was that only the Old Ones creations (elves, dwarves, lizardmen, humans, ogres) were taintable...except for the Halflings, which they got RIGHT after all their other mistakes. Only problem was, by putting all their effort into making halflings incorruptible, they left them short on everything else. Which is why it is important that, mechanically, they kind of suck. Once you understand WHY they suck, you understand the genius of it all. **I'm pretty sure the Old Ones LOWERED the world's temp, which is why all the dragons went to sleep - they were cold blooded and couldn't survive without the war...

If D&D 4th edition is "Points of Light", I want Uod to be "Points of Darkness". 1000 of them.

Dr. Thoad would love this, as would any sorcerers dabbling in vatwork: http://www.arcdream.com/pdf/freakmachine.pdf

Recent earthquakes have uncovered a pass in the mountains north of Narrosh. Expeditions from the Commerce Guild have found ruins of a small city or ceremonial center once called Luumb (to the best of their deciphering). Small amounts of gold jewelry have been recovered among the squat towers and domes. The ruins lack staircases and have numerous murals of red-eyed faces along the ramps that take their place.

Large circular pits are scattered throughout the center, each having scattered remains of humanoid, large quadroped, and small rodent bones. According to Heteri history, Putuv II ruled the mountain tribes of this region that his father had conquered. There is no mention in their legends of a city or location called Luumb.

Along the frigid coast of the North Sea, where the Gose River drains out from the mountains, sit the Eastern Wastes. Centered around the ruins of Demenian, a city that the Storm Mother all but wiped from the land in her wrath, are small villages and roving bands of Maetah and mixed blooded people left to the wilderness. While not as barren as the Plaguelands of the west, the xenophobia of the inhabitants can be just as dangerous. During the height of the Chlendi Empire, their fear of a return of the grey plague led them to migrate disease populations (no matter how minor) to work camps in the peninsula by Demenian. As the bureaucracy spread, political enemies and undesirables joined the populace. As the Chlendi might waned, the villages of the Eastern Wastes were left to their own direction and communication with the cities of (now) Argaevaligne and the Minkush River Valley ended. The villages became isolated and inbred, and some joined the Kuzak mountain tribes, a Heteri people t...
