colleague over at <a href="https://www.prismaticwasteland.com">Prismatic Wasteland</a> made a post recently all about coming up with non OGL names for those monsters considered Product Identity by Wizards of the Coast and the Open Gaming License. Check out that post <a href="https://www.prismaticwasteland.com/blog/no-one-owns-these-monsters">over here</a>! But I noticed some... discrepancies, which left me an opportunity for a post in response.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">So the whole premise of Mr. Wasteland's post over there is going through the whole list of Product Identity monsters, cataloguing which legally acceptable names have been used by other games over the years, and coming up with the best new name to use. But I noticed two monsters that I thought were listed as Product Identity which weren't included: the Kuo Toa and the Slaad. Now, this is where the discrepancy comes in. Turns out there's some inconsistency in the listings of Product Identity on different versions of the OGL/websites that refer to the OGL. Namely, the OGL document that he referred to <i>did not include the Kuo toa nor the slaad</i>, but I found them on <a href="https://www.d20srd.org/faq.htm">the d20 SRD</a>, and on multiple online references to the OGL... so what is the truth? It would seem that the law says you can use Kuo Toa and Slaad just fine, but the SRD and just about all online mentions of it include those two. What a conundrum!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">But really, who cares? I sure don't! What's more interesting than the question of whether WotC considers these two monsters to be Product Identity is just talking about the monsters themselves and coming up with names for them!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQmcwZzRgtBXZgq_oQEcGNZSLs6KbtMtG_j2DT9cAobl_3U86VD_HaFvE7xhELf4mztiIpWR-cBZg5_DZ5jH1mMBuvdSy0Xp1YOG7t85vxeVRveb6D3yEBnhteTOpyavpJ_b0UWm8nYjH938tIuP3F_wiRvk4Vic6XfkxFoE3XuTnLS7uZlVW1J0a1/s583/Kuo-Toa.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="583" data-original-width="400" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQmcwZzRgtBXZgq_oQEcGNZSLs6KbtMtG_j2DT9cAobl_3U86VD_HaFvE7xhELf4mztiIpWR-cBZg5_DZ5jH1mMBuvdSy0Xp1YOG7t85vxeVRveb6D3yEBnhteTOpyavpJ_b0UWm8nYjH938tIuP3F_wiRvk4Vic6XfkxFoE3XuTnLS7uZlVW1J0a1/s320/Kuo-Toa.jpg" width="220" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Kuo Toa</b></div><div style="text-align: left;">I already wrote out my thoughts about the Kuo Toa here in an earlier entry in the Goin' Through the Fiend Folio series [which, as an aside, will make a return soon!]. Suffice to say, I think they're my favorite of the many piscine humanoids in AD&D, perhaps tied only with the morkoth.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Dwiz over at A Knight at the Opera has already begun a list of names for Kuo Toa over here in <a href="https://knightattheopera.blogspot.com/2022/12/product-identity-in-my-monsters.html">his response to Warren</a>, including the classic Deep Ones from Lovecraft and Darkest Dungeon's Pelagics. Old School Essentials Advanced Fantasy also uses the term Deep Ones, although they drop some of the more interesting elements of the Kuo Toa lore from the Fiend Folio, basically just making them underground dwelling fishmen led by cultic clerics. A great archetype nonetheless of course! OSRIC, meanwhile, appears to have made an attempt at dodging the Kuo Toa problem; I can't find them or anything like them in the OSRIC monster listing, despite including both of AD&D's other main fishmen types [Locathah and Sahuagin] as well as a number of other monsters from the Fiend Folio. Same for Labyrinth Lord. What gives?!? The Kuo Toa are much much more interesting fishmen than the alternatives, why are they just avoiding them. Outside the realm of retroclones, Pathfinder has the Skum as their replacement for the underground dwelling fishmen niche that the Kuo Toa hold in D&D.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoDrioxGqy0T34eITXR5m953YNT-o7rtB8DojqapZXvbjowQIavNnKXQyRuy3F8cS_IJWj_T4mM5aBWFKWiNFTXsMa6hyVHefAwt2oZsWdBTgPwxcHTK6ozb2bjOLRv8XLsHxw9_USCZbdg58whAGB0ZNXEn-T-y5dqxsw9E7fHdamJwZtZNUPEver/s995/kuotoa-1178334.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="559" data-original-width="995" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoDrioxGqy0T34eITXR5m953YNT-o7rtB8DojqapZXvbjowQIavNnKXQyRuy3F8cS_IJWj_T4mM5aBWFKWiNFTXsMa6hyVHefAwt2oZsWdBTgPwxcHTK6ozb2bjOLRv8XLsHxw9_USCZbdg58whAGB0ZNXEn-T-y5dqxsw9E7fHdamJwZtZNUPEver/s320/kuotoa-1178334.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">(As an aside, as I was scrolling through a PDF of Advanced Labyrinth Lord, I noticed that while they avoided including the Kuo Toa at all, they renamed the <i>thoul</i> of all things, instead calling it a "throghrin". That is SUCH a terrible name, literally why would you use that fantasy gibberish vaguely orcish sorta name instead of the weird Thoul... I just really like thouls, so I figured I'd comment on it.)</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">If I'm being completely honest, while I really like iconic well established names like Deep Ones for the Kuo Toa, I am not inclined to use them personally. I'm honestly just more likely to call them fishmen, or even more likely <b>gillmen</b>. I am a Universal monster movie kid after all! Perhaps another option for the Kuo Toa could be something evoking their dark, cultic, superstitious nature... maybe <b>paranoiacs</b>? Yeah, I think I like that. It makes them feel less like dark masters a la Lovecraft's Deep Ones and more like paranoid cultists. The Kuo Toa aren't really their own masters in the Drow series adventures anyway! Perhaps they could be <b>godmakers</b> (of no relation to the Frank Herbert novel of the same name) due to their psychic ability to create their own gods in physical form.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicUxYoOjoh_ZlwiYOts7etzdwJ0WF6QJ8or2zdwP534BcU1KpUTYdF08aZVoSsqmLgRG5JL_jFEKK3M44RCUq5KktVApzspMaKYtQOzM43Or7ExfVjB7V_SYeuOFH_pXtlCau8PO5W-NfI6o58uWGxKV2KGCj4JkZ24soJ0B2w-QACKZ4225q_FwhD/s286/Slaad.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="286" data-original-width="200" height="286" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicUxYoOjoh_ZlwiYOts7etzdwJ0WF6QJ8or2zdwP534BcU1KpUTYdF08aZVoSsqmLgRG5JL_jFEKK3M44RCUq5KktVApzspMaKYtQOzM43Or7ExfVjB7V_SYeuOFH_pXtlCau8PO5W-NfI6o58uWGxKV2KGCj4JkZ24soJ0B2w-QACKZ4225q_FwhD/s1600/Slaad.JPG" width="200" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">A green Slaad, despite appearances</td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Slaad</b></div><div style="text-align: left;">Oooooohh the slaad. I will save sharing my more detailed thoughts on these nefarious toadies for the future Fiend Folio review post that will feature them, but suffice to say I quite like them. My first introduction to them was actually in the very first D&D book I ever personally owned, the D&D 4e Monster Manual 2, which uh... was not <i>necessarily</i> the best introduction to the game. Nor was it the best form of the Slaad, but I think the basic idea was impressed on me. They ultimately fit into the honestly unnecessary taxonomic impulse in AD&D, as the chaotic neutral inhabitants of the plane of Limbo, but other than that they are honestly more interesting paranormal inhabitants of the outer realms than most demons and devils! Weird sadistic chaotic frogs, coming in a variety of types, led by [in the Fiend Folio version] a strange skeletal warlord riding on a dragon? Vastly prefer these guys to Asmodeus. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrPQvV52eQozjJCOOEDCBAlUYYDjpto4KxABkep8LDmEy0HrPhreuKbRbvjYa1G7oIUOn-p9_eKosWlgxDrlsbb5VJv-wjFjSvIFJIqaMrLQYyAXx2wHXndojWFGVbzK8ryBaPRQe76iiqm-pojHi4klrKtubAZO_MlfyceSXWoiap64ftI4y4SIHH/s412/1e_FF_RedSlaad.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="412" data-original-width="292" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrPQvV52eQozjJCOOEDCBAlUYYDjpto4KxABkep8LDmEy0HrPhreuKbRbvjYa1G7oIUOn-p9_eKosWlgxDrlsbb5VJv-wjFjSvIFJIqaMrLQYyAXx2wHXndojWFGVbzK8ryBaPRQe76iiqm-pojHi4klrKtubAZO_MlfyceSXWoiap64ftI4y4SIHH/s320/1e_FF_RedSlaad.jpg" width="227" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">A red Slaad</td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Now, the Slaad seem to not be featured in the bestiaries of Advanced Labyrinth Lord or Old School Essentials Advanced Fantasy. They also aren't featured in OSRIC, but strangely enough there is a type of devil called "Scaly Devil" that has almost the same colored subtypes as the Slaad; otherwise they don't have anything in common with the Slaad so I'm honestly just confused. They also don't appear in Pathfinder, where instead the inhabitants of Limbo are the serpentine Proteans. A crying shame that it seems most games aren't interested in including these kooky guys!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">On to the new names: maybe something emphasizing their amphibian nature... <b>battletoads</b>, perhaps?</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGf0CEllRCQHrfaCeSRdMYzwrkQz4RZ3tduo-sX9MU46G5K8XRE-ouNrRhTdxGNkucelCk3OFcKSlGEDJr_fj_OloVjjovhhfsLsUkTLQQiFXucswEVrx6oAG6CcLxdp5L6LL4zpYk_BVd3DKE1KU9oQL2n41w2SrJoyG8e6maxZXs66fGHctWWvD_/s2100/MV5BYTFmM2FiMTEtYTlmZS00OWU0LWI0N2QtYTkzMzE4MDk2YzkxXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNjExODE1MDc@._V1_.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2100" data-original-width="1534" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGf0CEllRCQHrfaCeSRdMYzwrkQz4RZ3tduo-sX9MU46G5K8XRE-ouNrRhTdxGNkucelCk3OFcKSlGEDJr_fj_OloVjjovhhfsLsUkTLQQiFXucswEVrx6oAG6CcLxdp5L6LL4zpYk_BVd3DKE1KU9oQL2n41w2SrJoyG8e6maxZXs66fGHctWWvD_/s320/MV5BYTFmM2FiMTEtYTlmZS00OWU0LWI0N2QtYTkzMzE4MDk2YzkxXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNjExODE1MDc@._V1_.jpg" width="234" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Or well, maybe <b>chaos frogs</b> is more honest than a reference to the classic 1991 beat 'em up. To me that evokes the <a href="https://whfb.lexicanum.com/wiki/Chaos_Dwarf">chaos dwarfs from Warhammer Fantasy</a>, a personal favorite of their lesser appreciated armies. If one wants a name in keeping with the sinister otherworldly vibes of the name Slaad, maybe one part or the other of the line from Aristophanes' <i>The Frogs: </i><b>Brekekekex koax koax</b>. More than a bit unwieldy, but maybe that's the point. I could see Brekekekex koax koax as the proper name for these off brand Slaad, while mortals, fearful of their sadistic mischief, call them some more mundane like <b>chaos toads</b> or something more direct like <b>The Terrors</b>. Otherworldly entities like these are a fantastic opportunity for having a more esoteric name only used by wizards and other spirits and a name used in more normal conversation.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">As an aside, isn't it interesting how overrepresented the Fiend Folio is among the product identity monsters? Four on the list are FF originals: Kuo Toa, Slaad, Githyanki, and Githzerai. And only one of those was created by Gary!

I think the incredibly vague and unhelpful word "inhabitants" does the closest thing to justice to the topic of this post, so it's what I went with.<div><br /></div><div>So yeah, this is a setting post for King of Kings about the intelligent inhabitants of the world! It is more of a semi "world bible" of sorts, rather than an in universe statement of lore; the creatures and characters described in this post, and the categories into which they are placed in, are more for my benefit to define what sorts of creatures I use in the world rather than pure world building. I'm personally not a huge fan of the intense taxonomical drive that is present in a lot of D&D stuff, which you can read a very interesting and good post about <a href="https://zedecksiew.tumblr.com/post/693356847419293696/dds-obsession-with-taxonomy">here</a>, from the wonderful Zedeck Siew. Obviously I am still putting things into categories in this post, but I'm aiming for relatively vague and general categories defined more by connections to fictional cosmology and myth than by how D&D races work, taking cues more from groups of spirits and creatures from real world myth and folklore. So there is still a taxonomic impulse, guilty as charged in that regard, but for King of Kings I want to keep taxonomy as light as possible, and instead emphasize geographic location, familial ties, or political/religious allegiance. If I ever make a KoK book in the future, I'd lean more in that direction for that more "official" presentation, but this post isn't the final official presentation, its basically just a collection of notes put together here for my sake and for anyone who wants to read about my setting.</div><div><br /></div><div>Maybe that rant was unwarranted, I don't know, I just think about this stuff a lot!</div><div><br /></div><div>Without further ado!</div><div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjowd3XQmgQzpLOV_G7UOAOr7ywyBsX44VJGgUE6KoGzXVEKPVwQ0-nOJ09jgiZmUrbMWoPxgdV8Im29lQ-0qAVef0oOzzOVC-D59e9d7odWXU0wyVRqNK2lRUpyFUdVgKgHpIIo_qGqFBNL5doFQLUXjdyHDafQ7ov3asSWLRM72J7NG_bk01O5XFB/s768/10054661_master.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="768" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjowd3XQmgQzpLOV_G7UOAOr7ywyBsX44VJGgUE6KoGzXVEKPVwQ0-nOJ09jgiZmUrbMWoPxgdV8Im29lQ-0qAVef0oOzzOVC-D59e9d7odWXU0wyVRqNK2lRUpyFUdVgKgHpIIo_qGqFBNL5doFQLUXjdyHDafQ7ov3asSWLRM72J7NG_bk01O5XFB/s320/10054661_master.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">A person, on a rug</td></tr></tbody></table><div><br /></div><div><b>Humans/People</b></div><div>I think I would hope that everyone reading this post knows what these are. While King of Kings takes its cues from the world of late antiquity and the early Middle Ages, fundamentally people back then were still just people! Humans are the main inhabitant of the world, living just about everywhere, forming tribes and nations and polities together, etc. etc. Not all humans are visually identical, however, and this is where KoK leans into ancient and medieval conceptions. People groups that would appear at first to be very different from humanity, such as <a href="https://savevsworm.blogspot.com/2021/05/the-dog-who-speaks-softly-and-woman-who.html">dog headed men</a>, <a href="https://savevsworm.blogspot.com/2020/10/the-amazon-class-for-king-of-kings.html">amazons</a>, <a href="https://savevsworm.blogspot.com/2020/10/man-of-deluge.html">men of the deluge</a>, and the mouthless astomi, are all still human no matter their, from the perspective of people in the Enlightened Empire, strange customs and appearances. Here I'm trying to lean into ideas of the "monstrous races" from Ancient Greek natural histories and travelogues from Greece, Rome, and the Christian and Muslim Middle Ages. There's a really good book that I'd recommend about this topic that provides a detailed listing of such peoples from ancient and medieval sources, <i><a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Monstrous_Races_in_Medieval_Art_and/DCS0AAAAIAAJ?hl=en">The Monstrous Races in Medieval Art and Thought</a></i>. I find this topic super interesting, honestly kind of deserving of its own post, obviously of even more than a post because its a historical topic that has garnered plenty of attention in like, book length works and such. These ancient and medieval conceptions of people from faraway lands being monstrous are something to be careful about though because they're, yknow, tangential to and prefacing racism that developed in the modern period & etc. I find them to be a very fascinating and fantastical element of how real premodern people perceived their world, and I like using them as inspiration for KoK, as a basis to then provide some real depth and complexity onto, but just as with anything else really it's good to try and be mindful and whatnot.</div><div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5VNgBQK_oV-6xP7lT1Yz9to6s1WEh9-bg5XgOPEqA-xTE8jPgNORyTMfv6K0oIi_4LjVKBJzWkNtTrT2ZLreoAXBfLw9halD-t5Kergp8wLNxY1tXMbS7sRX-SQr4Wsf3xAg63-_duq54M1JRbfrvtlkKd6tIVNk8AJ-vfLeXJsyqpRh8DDiGlUkr/s220/220px-Kievskaya_psaltir_kinocefal.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="206" data-original-width="220" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5VNgBQK_oV-6xP7lT1Yz9to6s1WEh9-bg5XgOPEqA-xTE8jPgNORyTMfv6K0oIi_4LjVKBJzWkNtTrT2ZLreoAXBfLw9halD-t5Kergp8wLNxY1tXMbS7sRX-SQr4Wsf3xAg63-_duq54M1JRbfrvtlkKd6tIVNk8AJ-vfLeXJsyqpRh8DDiGlUkr/w320-h300/220px-Kievskaya_psaltir_kinocefal.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Also people</td></tr></tbody></table><div><br /></div><div>But yeah uh, other than humans like the dog headed men and amazons, there are also humans that are closer to real world ancient human cultures. <a href="https://savevsworm.blogspot.com/2020/11/king-of-kings-city-folk.html">City dwelling Shahanistanis</a>, rural farmers, nomadic pastoralists or raiding warriors, etc. etc. I'm going to make more posts in the future with more character backgrounds and stuff about different polities in different parts of the world, so there's plenty more to say.

Spirits can be basically anything, which is kind of on purpose so that I can encompass all sorts of supernal immaterial entities and atmospheres in here. Jinn are to the world of spirits as humans are to the material world, and so jinn come in just as much staggering variety if not more than people do. They share in all being made from smokeless fire, and have a parallel and often very different society to that of humanity, but are otherwise incredibly diverse.

The sea tyrants are the primordial once rulers of the world, the ancient despots from when the world was wet and the world was young. They flooded the world in an effort to take control of it in its entirety, but were rebuffed when some among them acted as a sorcerous Prometheus and stole star magic to give to mortals. Ever since then, they have dwelled deep at the bottom of the sea and deep in the depths of the earth, while humanity and the traitors to the sea tyrants thrive on the surface. The sea tyrants who betrayed their brethren and stole magic to give to humanity were the amphibians, namely the <a href="https://savevsworm.blogspot.com/2021/06/froglings-of-enlightened-empire.html">froglings</a>, salamen, and elder olms. The froglings live among humans, in their <a href="https://savevsworm.blogspot.com/2022/03/tabur-grand-capital-of-elburz-satrapy.html">cities</a> and towns, and continue to practice magic and  serve as sailors and merchants, while salamen tend to live out on their own in isolated wilderness and swamp communities, and elder olms serve as a potential friendly faction in delves underground.

And with regards to the froglings, I can't help but bring up my love for Frog from Chrono Trigger, even if my frog people here don't have That much to do with him.

The Gnostic Elves rule an empire directly to the west of the Enlightened Empire, the two neighbors being in a constant slow and grinding war that has been going on for generations. They took over the western archipelago and their portions of the mainland a few centuries ago, having come in from across the sea on pale white boats. They wrap themselves up in full body coverings and often wear masks, and believe that the flesh is sinful and must be destroyed, and that through ascertaining hidden knowledge the material world can be transcended. There are, however, heretic sects of elves who reject that gnosis, most notably the Hedonist Elves who dwell underground in isolated colonies.</div><div><br /></div><div>I know I sound like a broken record but yeah keep an eye out for more posts about the gnostic elves and about the never-ending war between the gnostic elves and the enlightened empire. The Gnostic Elves have taken a lot of inspiration from a variety of sources: obviously their religion is derived from ancient Gnosticism, while visually and with regards to their role in the fictional world they take cues from the Eastern Roman Empire (for which I really like to refer to <i>The World of Late Antiquity </i>by Peter Brown and the <i>History</i> and <i>Secret History</i> of Prokopios), and their history of having come here from across the ocean to conquer takes inspiration from the Tarascans/Pur茅pecha of Mexico who have a similar story of coming from across the Pacific, and the Seljuqs who conquered Anatolia from Central Asia.</div><div><br /></div><div>And that's it!

Chief among these were the amphibians, who knew dry land much better than their brethren. The salamanders and the frogs even included some in their number who had visited the First City and dwelt within its walls. The amphibians wanted to keep the land, for they feared that if the whole world became ocean then they would shrivel up in its brackish depths, and they would be consumed by the guilt of the death of humankind. And so, the frogs and salamanders and olms conspired to give humanity magic, to protect them from the horrible flood. It is a frog named Prometheus who is said to have given the first, now long lost, clay tablet of spells to the the thief Keyumars in those long forgotten days. In <a href="https://savevsworm.blogspot.com/2020/10/half-forgotten-times-and-nature-of.html">the telling of events more well known among men</a>, Keyumars simply dove deep into the kingdoms of the sea tyrants and stole it for himself, but those who study the depths of history know better. The first spells for humankind were written in a frog-like hand.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">For this, the frogs and salamanders and olms were forced out of the sea and branded as traitors. The traitor frogs fell upon the First City and its surroundings and built a new home there, and began to live among humanity. The traitor newts fled into the wilderness, willing to go along with the frogs' plan to give humans magic but not as enthusiastic about the change. The traitor olms fled into the depths beneath the earth, since they among the three amphibians did not have the physical forms to survive on land. When the sea tyrants began to take over the underground, the olms fought back and to this day that struggle continues. A giant friendly olm is a fine sight for any spelunker in need.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8cqWg1hguJJGIZZ3z4EtbLaUmL5QJFC7anHAsPG8mmhh9nDOnkCzkgKYBSZvsWIye_W2LidCnYYw8FhxG68sYMxMa5ABodvNKUIiJB6o9Fb2YyLNMABIKAY4wmE_q7YTCQs6FfcW6T0A/s968/e207ab74f21db74ade5f9f6b1ddfe3d9--art%25C4%2583-fantasy-fantasy-places.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="968" data-original-width="736" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8cqWg1hguJJGIZZ3z4EtbLaUmL5QJFC7anHAsPG8mmhh9nDOnkCzkgKYBSZvsWIye_W2LidCnYYw8FhxG68sYMxMa5ABodvNKUIiJB6o9Fb2YyLNMABIKAY4wmE_q7YTCQs6FfcW6T0A/s320/e207ab74f21db74ade5f9f6b1ddfe3d9--art%25C4%2583-fantasy-fantasy-places.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">These mythic days are long behind them all, however, and whether there is any truth in the stories of the deeds of the great heroes of the frogs and salamen is a matter for debate. Since the froglings (as they are now called by humanity, although the name "traitor frog" has not left them) descended on the First City after the end of the Deluge, they have been a consistent feature of urban communities. Coastal areas especially, both within the Enlightened Empire and without, very prominently feature frogling communities. They are exiled from the ocean, but often skirt upon its surface on boats, their sails pushed along by the flapping of innumerable fly wings.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">The traitor frogs, as the premier masters of magic on the surface world, have developed many unique forms of sorcery. Chief among these is <b>Diptomancy</b>, the art of communication with flies (and other small buzzing/stinging/biting things, although notably bees refuse to speak with diptomancers). This began as a form of divination, ascertaining fate through the shapes of poetically-conditioned fly swarms, but it has developed into a science and an art all its own. During the ancient days of the Warring Kings, there were many frogling principalities lorded over by batrachian sorcerer-kings and mage-mothers, and their spell tablets, secreted away in dank depths and crumbling ruins, hold some of the most powerful spells of history.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9kDCiW_A7h87ZBLIN6-WQtWYcPGELVJb6ppMUDbSbhUNJYRX65z39NEpb5XToE8MI-vcLspnI2g4OJlWrQ0rN_BNcJmo2Tx-kEWkhLiR1kS_YzkK5_IzrfgLaHU-_LnUJgaeIq3G1qOY/s550/76404a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="347" data-original-width="550" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9kDCiW_A7h87ZBLIN6-WQtWYcPGELVJb6ppMUDbSbhUNJYRX65z39NEpb5XToE8MI-vcLspnI2g4OJlWrQ0rN_BNcJmo2Tx-kEWkhLiR1kS_YzkK5_IzrfgLaHU-_LnUJgaeIq3G1qOY/s320/76404a.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I don't intend on having froglings ride on giant frogs but aren't these just so good?</td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">--------------------</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I <i>was</i> going to write up a frogling race-class but I'm at a bit of an impasse with regards to what to do with these guys with regards to the players. I could keep them as NPC-exclusive (keeping the game completely human-only as it currently is (technically the amazons, brinemen, and half-jinn are humans)), or make them a race-class (which to me seems a bit weird because they have honestly just as much flexibility as humans do), or fully separate race and class (which I'm worried about how to puzzle through because of how I've boxed myself in with some of the human nations), SO instead of presenting any character information, here are some example diptomancy spells.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><u>BATRACHIAN SPELLS OF THE FROG-KINGS</u></div><div style="text-align: center;"><u><br /></u></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Fly's Last Meal</b></div><div style="text-align: left;">Level 1</div><div style="text-align: left;">Duration: Until caster ends</div><div style="text-align: left;">Range: Touch</div><div style="text-align: left;">When this spell is cast, the caster touches a fly and is able to ask this fly any question relating to what it has eaten and what was surrounding it when it ate it. The caster is able to end the interrogation at any point. This spell is often used to find out what happened at the scene of a death, assassination, or murder.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Gust of Fluttering</b></div><div style="text-align: left;">Level 1</div><div style="text-align: left;">Duration: 6 turns</div><div style="text-align: left;">Range: 120'</div><div style="text-align: left;">A training spell of diptomancy. Any and all flying insects in the area congregate in a point designated by the caster within the spell's range and flap their wings very rapidly. Their fast flapping creates a noticeable wind, which will cause any light objects to be caught up in it. The caster can order the cloud of flies to release a sudden and massive gust of wind in one specified direction, pushing any being or object not too heavy back up to 240'. Doing so causes the cloud of flies to immediately dissipate.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Advanced Gust of Fluttering</b></div><div style="text-align: left;">Level 2</div><div style="text-align: left;">Duration: 6 hours</div><div style="text-align: left;">Range: 120'</div><div style="text-align: left;">The most commonly learned diptomantic spell. Any and all flying insects in the area congregate in a point designated by the caster within the spell's range and flap their wings very rapidly. This maintains the attention of many more flies than the simpler version. Their flapping creates a noticeable wind, which will cause any light objects to be caught up in it unless it is focused in one direction. The caster can order the cloud of flies to release a continuous gust of wind in one specified direction for up to the spell's entire duration. This gust of wind is strong enough to push heavier objects and creatures.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Item: <b>Barrel of Flies</b></div><div style="text-align: left;">A common object kept by frogling sailors, the barrel of flies is just what it sounds like: a wooden barrel filled with flying insects. These are usually caught and barreled at "fly-factories" that keep rotting material to grow flies in for sale. When at sea, the frogling sailor-sorcerer has no flying insects around to provide for their advanced gust of fluttering, so the barrel of flies is a must.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQHWg-V9ku88t2HpZOxSB1KtsgbE_9qQhOrxHELQB-ygwhFXIjkMu5lNuYbt1k7hGEXgWusj3wh3N0RKm_YhyYfVWvRXEYkso7PLrLP2M9TGxUnjN6ZaIsiXy2IvwfrFXTQN1enOA7AIs/s1356/file-20181015-109222-bb8alf.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="668" data-original-width="1356" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQHWg-V9ku88t2HpZOxSB1KtsgbE_9qQhOrxHELQB-ygwhFXIjkMu5lNuYbt1k7hGEXgWusj3wh3N0RKm_YhyYfVWvRXEYkso7PLrLP2M9TGxUnjN6ZaIsiXy2IvwfrFXTQN1enOA7AIs/s320/file-20181015-109222-bb8alf.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Noxious Discharge</b></div><div style="text-align: left;">Level 3</div><div style="text-align: left;">Duration: 3 turns</div><div style="text-align: left;">Range: 240'</div><div style="text-align: left;">A biting insect emerges from somewhere within the caster's robes, and seeks out the target which the caster points at. The target makes a saving throw vs. poison, failing to do so causing them to begin to incessantly spew forth a stinking corrosive acidic discharge, the very same sort that houseflies use to digest their food. They are unable to take any actions in combat other than struggling against their vomiting, and if they fail a DEX check they also begin to take 1d4 damage every other round as they stumble around and cover themselves with their corrosive vomit. The vomit is able to melt through wood and other organic material.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Mayfly</b></div><div style="text-align: left;">Level 6</div><div style="text-align: left;">Duration: Indefinite</div><div style="text-align: left;">Range: Sight</div><div style="text-align: left;">The caster points at a target they can see. If they have the ability to feel romantic/sexual attraction, they must make a saving throw vs. death or be overtaken by the instincts of the adult mayfly. Those who do not feel romantic/sexual feelings are immune. If they fail their saving throw, they are overtaken by intense romantic feelings and the need to have a romantic moment with someone, anyone. However, the moment they so much as move away from a kiss or finish up with a romantic dinner, they will die, having fulfilled their immediate goal.
