The Afridhi

[Havard]

Have you guys found out anything more on The Afridhi? My imagination has been consumed by them recently and I'm very interested in devouring all that I can find out.

Hello Kanye!

IIRC Chirine suggested the two Deborahs were not the same person, though I could be misremembering.

Basically we have the following sources on them:

1) Original Campaign:
We know that the Afridhi Queen (Toska Rusa) was played by Deborah Naffziger. Greg describes the Afridhi as similar to "Devil worshippers". The FFC does not mention them by name, but several of the mentions of barbarian attacks could be references to them.

2) DA Modules
These give more detail with an Afghan/Persian style to their culture as well as the idea of a matriarchy. Zugzul, their God, is mentioned for the first time AFAIK. Handmaidens of Death are introduced.

3) D20 Books
These provide the same info as in the DA modules, but Zugzul is now the God of Fire and Darkness instead of Fire and Ice. The Afridhi are depicted more like human sized Fire Giants, which is not the impression I got from DA4.
