[TAG] Hellfrost - Land of Fire: New Races


--- Zitat von: Mac ---Back when the kickstarter for land of fire was going I made a deal with you that if we got Land of Fire to be a "go", that you would provide a brief description of the new races so I could start integrating them into the ports and what not.

I've been anxiously awaiting this for almost a month now. Figured this could serve as my "poke" on the topic.

--- Ende Zitat ---

Here ya go, Mac!

Cakali -- bipedal jackals; nomadic race. See free preview for full details.

Element-Touched -- broad name. Devoted call them jinn blooded, while Faithful call them god touched. Admired, respected, feared, and hated in equal measure. Humans with very basic innate elemental control. Not a true race, as they must still be Bedu or Hadaree in origin.

Human (Bedu) -- nomads.

Human (Hadaree) -- generic title meaning "person of the town." Basically covers any non-nomad. This is not a unique culture, but rather an umbrella term for all settled people.

Hyaenidae -- bipedal hyenas. Family-oriented nomadic scavengers with a bad reputation among other races.

Sand Goblins -- short, hairy, splayed feet, have a hump like a camel. Lazy, thievish race considered untrustworthy by others.

And that's your lot.


--- Zitat von: Werecorpse ---Why 2 anthropomorphic canines ( not others ie snake, lizard, crocodile, birds of prey etc) and no demihuman variants?
Not many human variants either?

( not criticizing just wondering about the thought/ design process)
--- Ende Zitat ---

That's just what came to mind when I was writing. There are lizardmen, gatormen, ophidae (snakemen), and minotaurs, but they're bad guys.

(Anmerkung: Hyänen sind trotz ihres Aussehens Katzenartige. Demnach gibt es genau genommen, nur die hundeartigen Cakali)

[...]

Probably worth adding something about religion, since it effectively doubles the amount of races (as major viewpoints change depending on one's beliefs).

* Faithful worship the 13 gods (and lots of minor ones) and disdain magic.
* Devoted follow a philosophy rather than gods, and openly acknowledge magic as a spiritual (but not Spirit-based) path.
* You cannot follow both creeds.
* You cannot follow neither creed.
* You cannot be a Faithful mage.
* You cannot be a Devoted cleric.
* Both creeds honor Suleiman as the father of their belief system.
These are immutable facts in canonical Al-Shirkuh.

What happens in your game is up to you.


--- Zitat von: McCurmudgeon ---So are the Bedu, Hadaree, and Element-Touched all different races with different race abilities, or are the Bedu and Hadaree more like cultural differences like Saxa and Anari
--- Ende Zitat ---

Bedu and Hadaree are humans with cultural differences, like Anari and Saxa. Element-touched are essentially human, but come with a few tweaks, and have their own specific entry rather than being listed under Humans.


--- Zitat von: Greentongue ---Minotaurs? as in Camel-Men or Bovine-men?
--- Ende Zitat ---

Bovine (hence "taurs"). Desert centaurs are camel-related, rather than horse-related.

Danke! Es ist immer noch schön zu hören, daß meine Karten nach einem halben Jahrzehnt und trotz der (mageren) offiziellen Battlemaps der neuen Version immer noch bespielt werden.

[TAG] Hellfrost - Land of Fire: Tidbits

Al-Shirkuh has simply bathhouse (no hamams), that know no gender or other segregations.

Egyptian, Babylonian, Mespotamian, Persian, and Arabic flavors are all in the LOF mix.

Very few Arabic terms are used in LOF.

The Devoted creed (based on the Zoroastrian concepts of order and chaos, purity and corruption) has imams (used in the sense of a prefix title for scholars of renown rather than spiritual leaders -- the Devoted creed has no clerics, idols, or temples, though it has a single sacred text), and Suleiman is based on the Islamic version of King Solomon (he commanded the jinn), but otherwise the uses are commonplace words (like burnoose) or titles (bey, pasha, emir, caliph) I've assigned to various cultures.

We did have mosques (from the Arabic for "place of worship"), but we're not out to offend anyone and its generic usage has long been surpassed, so I've decided to switch them to a "kada" instead (stolen from the Persian "kadag", which means "house").

As for the gods, they're Egyptian and Mesopotamian based for the most part.
