Introduction

The Fauna of Northwest Lythia, often referred to simply as The Fauna, is an ever-growing document maintained by various chantry houses of the Guild of Arcane Lore. Work on this massive tome was first begun in 589 TR by the Trierzi scholar Dobahn Kerevit. His original efforts focused on cataloging the various animals to be found when walking the fields and woods near Berema, but as he became older, he broadened his study to the beasts of Emelrene and Palithane. When his apprentices and their apprentices (who have adopted the name naturalists to distinguish themselves from their bookbound fellow scholars) became masters in their own right, animals from all over the northwestern reaches of the Lythian continent were progressively included--beasts from the countries of Azeryan, Chybisa, Emelrene, Evael, Govyna, Harbaal, Hurisea, Ibanvaal, Jarenmark, Kaldor, Kanday, Lankor, Melderyn, Melesuma, Menglana, Orbaal, Palithane, Rethem, Rogna, Seldenbaal, Shorkyne, Tharda, Trierzon and the Umelrian League and the regions of Altland, Quarphor and Reksyna. Their research has not gone unnoticed by the lords of the various kingdoms and countries; in a few cases, scholars' actions have been misinterpreted, leading to executions for spying.

The master volume of The Fauna is kept at Dobahn's home chantry at Berema. Information is quickly circulated between the master and the volumes kept at the more reputable chantry houses of the region, notably Cherafir in Melderyn and Fuhreling in Ivinia. Copies at other chantries are notoriously unreliable.

GM Notes

The information presented here is more than actually appears in any single copy of The Fauna. Should a player character gain access to a copy at one of the chantries, the gamemaster may use his discretion in deciding how much to reveal.

Weights in pounds (lb) and lengths in feet (ft) and inches (in) are used throughout due to their similarity to units used in the H’rnic kingdoms. Conversion to Terran SI units is made by: dividing pounds by 2.2 to get kilograms, dividing feet by 3.28 to get meters, and multiplying inches by 2.54 to get centimeters.

At the end of each animal description are statistics for use during H’rnMaster adventures. Unless otherwise specified, these data are for average adult males and should be adjusted for other members of the species.

Although The Fauna is quite extensive, its editors despair that it will ever be complete. Coverage of poorly settled areas and of places far from Berema is incomplete and inconsistent, and known species frequently exhibit new traits or are discovered in areas where they were previously unobserved. Furthermore, arguments still rage about the existence of some legendary beasts and whether some animals are separate "species" or not. Gamemasters should thus feel free to add new beasts to those that are described on the following pages.

The most common Lythian bear was at one time one of those species which causes the most argument among animalists of the chantry of arcane lore. The numerous hues which its fur may display, augmented by the regionality of this coloration, led many scholars to the opinion that it was actually three seperate species of bear: the H’rnic (brown) bear, the Palithanian (blonde) bear, and the common black bear. However, a consensus seems to have recently been reached that the former two types are just variations on a theme.

Dire Wolf

Breeding: Unknown.
Range: Rare scattered sightings about nw Lythia, most often in Emelrene and H’rn (Melderyn).
Habitat: Forests.

The dire wolf seems to be merely a huge version of the gray wolf, and some scholars do not even consider it to be a separate species. Unknown to all is that the dire wolf is not native to Kethira but instead originates on Yashain, a planet elsewhere in the cosmos. Those dire wolves seen on Kethira are accidental refugees, mysteriously transported between the worlds, perhaps victims of wandering Barasi points or bored godlings. In any event, since they are truly the fauna of another world, dire wolves are exceedingly rare in NW Lythia and no more than one is ever encountered at a time.

One or two procurers for the Pamesani games of H’rn have claimed that the dire wolf is capable of breeding with its Kethiran relatives, but this tale has never been confirmed.

Map of H’rnic wolf range.

Although tales of lupine depradations are a staple of any rural innkeeper's taletelling, the H’rnic wolf may actually be more vicious than its Lythian brethren. From its ferocity it has earned the nickname of "Morgath's hound". Smaller than the continental gray wolf, it appears to be a more canny and rugged fighter and experiences measurably greater success than its brethren in the Pamesani arenas of western H’rn. More impressionable observers have claimed that it even enjoys these matches. Given the ferocity of the H’rnic wolf, one would think that the island would be overrun with the fell beasts, but their numbers are limited by their relatively small litters. Although success in hunting H’rnic wolves has been limited, they seem to avoid more settled lands. They are most likely to be found in a east-west band stretching from Garvin Bay to the wildlands n of Rethem.

Map of ango range.

At one time thought to be just a wild dog or perhaps a type of Reksyni wolf, the ango has been acknowledged a separate species due to its possession of a Psionic ability unknown in any other dog-like creature. The ango has been observed to Teleport up to 15' when subjected to great danger, such as evading a night lion.

The call of the ango is less reliant on prolonged howls than are sung by wolves. Typically, a series of high pitched barks is made, usually followed by similar barking and yelping from any nearby ango. These noises form an oft heard background during night in the Azeryani highlands, and the ango is not much seen during the day.

The ango is as agile as a Reksyni wolf but less durable. It is capable of jumping about 10' and can run faster than the most agile of men (about 10 lph, or 30 mph), but only for very short distances. In its arid habitat, it has not learned to swim.

Like the Reksyni wolf, the ango has a varied diet, preying on virtually every small animal to be found in the Azeryani drylands, particularly mice, snakes and lizards. They may join in groups of 4 or 5 to attack Lysaran antelope. The ango will not turn up its nose at carrion, and in fact they are most easily killed by leaving poisoned carcasses. The ango is somehow able to store water within its body, able to go up to 10 days without water before showing signs of discomfort.

Territory ... Despite tales of ango packs savaging lone travelers or snatching babes from farms near the Azeryan drylands, ango are generally wary of man. Usually, they lurk out of sight when humans enter their territory. One will occasionally work up the courage to sniff about a campsite after dark but will flee at the first sign of detection, perhaps "blinking" if it is startled.

A species of large freshwater snake. The average length is 12 ft, but specimens of up to 30 ft have been reported. Ologi have a rough scaly ventral side which they use to grip and crush their prey. Primarily piscivores, they also feed on small mammals as they come to drink, and have been known to take children and unwary adults. Except in the vicinity of the Alwyg, they are rare. They are eaten by man, but have an oily flavour and are considered an acquired taste.
