Native legends abound with tales of all sorts of strange creatures. How many of these tales have any basis in truth is a question some intrepid explorers hope to answer as they delve further into the wilds of Afrodesia. Here follow artist's rendition of a few of these creatures, with a figure of a man for size comparison.

Mmmm...good Frog there in the second picture.
Does he eat Frenchmen?
I would also suggest that many inexpensive plastic creatures can be found at your local "dollar-type" store . . . or even in toy stores.

Including cheap plastic '1:1' scale spiders in joke shops / novelty stores that are more realistic than many (expensive) metal ones sold as 'gaming miniatures'!
Don't forget the local stories about a city / kingdom ruled by a white, reportedly immortal, witch-queen (Ayesha or Antinea, her name varies with the story-teller: but all agree on one point, SWMBO *hates* to be called 'The Kommanadantur' behind her -charming- back.)
HI
The beasts look very bizarre and dangerous.. They will provide lots of histories told at the campfires

Good to have the League back on line!
Not totally off-topic, thanks to the frog: I mentioned in a comment on another 'EvE' blog that a French amateur historian / heraldrist 'seriously' put forward that the Fleurs de Lys on the French Arms are a later distortion of original *frogs*: not because some repute of frog-eaters, but because the Salian Frank ancestors of Clovis came from a marshy area... David Linienblatt von Tippelbruder, of NBA fame, was so amused that he sent me quasi-'pean' fields of golden frogs on purple (re. ancient emperors) and green (re. Napoleon -but he choose honeybees) backgrounds.
Would be great for Batrachian Heavy Horse standards! I know, I know, you are dropping Batrachia....
Cheers,

Interesting flags, and well-done!
I don't think I ever said I was dropping Batrachia and in fact have ideas for how the future might pan out both during and after the war with the Soweiter League. And I may very well make use of Batrachians for future projects (how does the Batrachian Foreign Legion sound?). I am in a hobby lull right now, and if I get around to doing any gaming it will likely be more Afrodesian stuff, but I am by no means done with 18th century stuff either. I just need "real life" to slow down a bit so I can catch my breath and get back to important stuff like having fun. lol
