Life in the frigid north of Svalbard is difficult, but the resilient Muscovite people have long-prospered there. Their diet consists largely of gebbak, a tuber as tough and resilient as the Muscovites themselves. Raw it resembles the root of a particularly ugly old tree; cooked, it is very much like a potato in flavor and […]

Sniper drakes are small, dragon-like flying reptiles the size of a large bird. Their leathery, bat-like wings span three to five feet across and are a darker shade of the creature’s overall color. Sniper drakes usually come in pastel greens, blues, yellows and reds. Their head is long and thin and dominated by very large, […]
Legend has it that hundreds of years ago, the town of Quainsbrook was besieged by kobolds. They were only saved when Canis, the lord of hounds, sent a pack of fifty wild hounds to help defend them. The villagers of Quainsbrook, to this day, have an amazing rapport with canines of all types, and Quainsbrook […]

While the characters are traveling through unfamiliar lands, a strange little creature pops out of the bushes. It looks vaguely like a grey rabbit, and has long, floppy ears which drag on the ground behind it as it skitters across the ground.
If the players acknowledge the critter, it will stand up on its hind legs […]
Off in the distance, the players hear dogs barking. There’s also another sound, somewhat harder to make out… a high-pitched voice with a bit of a growl to it yelping out “Help! Help!”
If the PCs investigate, they discover a lone kobold clinging for dear life from a root poking out of a rocky wall. He’s […]
