Arrowhead Islands Gazetteer

[Ruffnut]

To begin my Gazetteer I will post a playable species, the Half Ogre.

Half Ogre
Skill: 5
Stamina: 9
Luck: 7

Talents:
Light Monster / +1 Armour Roll
Strongarm
One Of Choice

Special Skills:
Region Lore (Arrowhead Islands)
Three At Two
Six At One
Ogre 3
Common Speech 3

Designers Notes:
The Half Orcs of the Arrowhead Islands are different than their counterparts in other areas. Looking more like traditional ogres, they are often hunted and persecuted, for the ones that live on the majority of the islands are savages, who raid villages and kidnap people. However, on the island of Concordia they are slightly more akin to Humans, who they prosper with, combing their talents and skills to survive.
The Half Ogres of Concordia are also more educated, and as a result in most cases you will play as one that has either been in Concordia for their childhood, or one that is unnaturally smart and sophisticated for the Half Ogres of the other islands.

Everriculum Crocodile
Skill: 8
+2 Large Bite
Stamina: 16
+2 Medium Monster
Attacks: 2

Crocodiles are huge reptiles, often as much as six metres long. They have four legs with webbed feet, a vertically-flattened tail for propelling them through the water, and long, tooth-filled jaws for catching prey. Crocodiles are covered in armoured scales that range in colour from yellow through green and grey, to almost black.

The Arrowhead Islands was once host to a wide variety of Crocodile species, but the ones from Everriculum Island are by far the deadliest. As a fishing island, Everriculum Island has been trying to get rid of the Crocodiles that haunt it's waters for many years now, but this is no easy feat for the Crocodiles have evolved to catch the large fish that the island is famous for, and this makes them very deadly. In the last few decades, they began to spread to other islands, where they outmatched the other Crocodiles, and as a result they are now the dominant breed of Crocodile on many islands.

Crawling it's way out of the depths of my mind... THE SKULL CRAWLER!!

Skull Crawler (Mortui Ambulantes)
Skill: 11
+2 Large Bite and Medium Claw (Tail)
Stamina: 22
Medium Monster Armour
Luck: 6
Attacks: 4 (2 with Jaws, 2 with Tail)
It can attempt to make 2 strikes with its jaws, but if 1 hits it cannot make another attack.

The Skull Crawlers are beasts that never should have existed. Fashioned not from clay nor sculpted by Death, Decay or Disease, they were fashioned by Elim himself from pure evil. Knowing that the other gods would destroy these creatures immediately, Elim hid them underground, where they would wait until the gods had withdrawn from Titan, when they would surface once again to wreck untold havok. So far only smaller ones have awoken, but when the bigger ones awaken, the whole of Titan will know…

Next Up, The Dark Elf!!

Dark Elf
Skill: 4
Stamina: 8
Luck: 8

Talents
Combat Reactions
Dark Seeing

Special Skills
One At Three
Two At Two
Six At One

Dark Elves are not natives to the Arrowhead Islands, instead stranded here when Zustra The Pirate Queen’s invasion of the Arrowhead Islands backfired after conquering almost half the islands. As a result, all of the Dark Elves in the Arrowhead Islands once served in Queen Zustra’s fleet. Contrary to belief, Queen Zustra was also a Dark Elf, although since few have ever seen her and lived, she is presumed to be human by most people.

Lol i could never draw that well it is concept art from Kong Skull Island which I shamelessly stole these creatures from. However, mine are about 3x smaller, but there are bigger ones to come.

The GREAT APE Awakens!

Great Ape
Skill: 10
Large Fist x2
Stamina: 22
Leather Haub.
Attacks: 4

On some of the islands, there is a reason people do not venture out alone, for in the wilderness and hills lurks fearsome Great Apes! With their durable bodies that are able to withstand many blows, and powerful fists that can kill a man outright, the Great Ape is a formidable foe indeed.
