“ A weapon of war created by an extinct race, this rat appears normal but is a simulacrum - beneath it's mangy fur is a body of bronze.  Commanded by words in a lost language, wherever it goes a virulent and lethal plague follows. The cure is similarly obscure.”
                        
                     
                                    
                        “ Imagine a tribe of nomads where all the males have the blessing of being were-stallions. The tribe would not need to have ordinary horses to move around, all mounted warriors would be female and a curious custom could be that when a couple gets married, the girl rides her chosen to the altar.”
                        
                     
                                    
                        “ A group that wished to be 'ever-living' instead was cursed with 'never-dying'.  Thier flesh rotted and fell fromthier bones but still they lived on.  Now as skeletons they continue thier quest to remove thier curse.  As skeletons they differ in that they do not need controlled or summoned.  They are fully fledged NPCs with drives or ideas of thier own.  Stabbing and slashing weapons would not affect them.”
