Jungle Realm of Tangor-What is known of it?

[Havard]

Thanks Harvard I have a lot more ideas in mind for the Jungle Realm as well as the Desert Realm and thanks for pointing the name out. I started a small gazateer style thing the other day for the desert realm and it includes at least one or two ports and one of which is a slave market so thats for the suggestions Harvard!

No problem! A separate Desert Realm outside the Empire? I like it! Looking forward to seeing your gazzies!

Also thought of something new.
Frogfolk, these small humanoid frogs are old and are found inhabiting the deepest swamps where they squat in old temples to their former masters. They see the lizardfolk as traitors to their cause and often send plagues and disease to these all ready weakened people. They hail to the gods of their masters. They are not to be dealt with as their word is as toxic as their skin so beware of these creatures, it is unknown if there are related to the Temple of the Frog but we are not willing to ask.

If it smells of Blackmoor, it feels right here! Frogfolk are very appropriate. I like the idea that these southern Froggies have toxic skin. Do they use that toxin on their weapons as well? Could be quite nasty...

My plans were to uses the Crimson Pelt Tribe as the replacement for Orcs and their demon lord isnt known besides the name of the Butcher of Men, was thinking Demogorgon with two minor gods being Hel and Thanatos.

Sounds appropriate! Demogorgon has not been used much in this era, though I have suggested that he could be the one behind the Frog cults as well. OTOH, having Tsathoggua as a separate deity is also appealing.

Also will go do that, love the idea of Carnifex and Outer Beings. Sleeping Ones as well I've placed one in the Great Glacier and one bound to a magma tube beneath the sea causing weird tainted zones and mutations in aquatic creatures and even merfolks who look palid and craked skin wise. So many ideas so little time.

Keep these coming! Maybe trapped in a Volcano? That could fit with the Jungle Realm theme...

I always found it funyy when people think of Africa its all plains and grassland when yes thats a majority of the region there is still veredant patches. Some animals when they discover their intellegence will try to find others like them. A awakened monkey will look to find a awakened monkey for companionsip or try to teach its companions to get greatter intellegence. They can be a rare encounter in solitude or may find a small family group of awaken animals keeping each other safe.

Okay cool, so they are not hanging out with Tangor or whatever? I could see a decent Tangor Witch doctor with an awakened animal companion...

I've been thinking of doing that but I have no idea about the classic dnd part. I think cleric with a list of Wendo giving diety benefits might do well with a custom spell list if not make it a alternate class feature with weapon limitations tossed aside to allow blades. They would more or less be witch doctors.

Classic D&D is all about toning down specific rules for each situation and rather focusing on the setting/background elements. Minor tweaks like this could work though
