I know a lot of the monsters in the earliest and current versions of D&D are based on either western mythology, like Werewolves, Goblins, vampires and such, Or Asian, like Oni's, monstergirls in general and Genies.
so i plan to make a character that comes from Middle east or Muslim spain, and a sesion based on those regions, so what monsters are likely to appear on the first moments? what would be your basic "goblin" on the quest?
Throughout the medieval world there was a strong belief in supernatural beings. If you lived in the Middle East, there were two important medieval texts you could consult to learn about creatures like the Ghul or the King of Thursday. Many had strange powers and nightmarish forms and would be called djinn, demons or devils. If you dare want to know more about these monsters, read on!
In the second part al-Qazwini talks about the four elements, the Earth and its division into seven climes, and describes the seas, rivers, and mountains. He then discusses the three kingdoms of nature: mineral, plant, and animal. In his description of the animal kingdom, the author outlines the character and anatomy of man and at the end of this section there is a chapter on monsters, demons, djinn (also spelled jinn), and devils.
Many of the surviving manuscripts are also extensively illustrated with geometrical tables and miniatures representing plants, animals, and various monsters. The bulk of this column will be based on the information presented by al-Qazwini in his chapter on Djinn and monsters. I will discuss what djinn are, present some anecdotes from the chapter about djinn and the devil, and finally describe certain types of djinn, demons, and monsters.
In the last part of this article, I will also include some demons, monsters, and djinn mentioned in Kitab al-Bulhan (Book Wonders or Book of Surprises); a late 14th-century manuscript transcribed and compiled (and possibly illustrated) by Abd al-Hasan al-Isfahani. The book was probably bound together in Baghdad during the reign of the Jalayirid Sultan Ahmad (1382-1410). However, most of its content was written during the 8th century by Abu Maʿshar al-Balkhi (787-886 CE).
The Veiled Island, once a small continent, will expand to fourtimes its size, providing the Arabic Rappelz community with so muchmore to explore, as the mysteries of the island unfold. In additionto Unicorn Forest and Dragons Nest, new monsters also plagueBlizzard Valley, Snowfield Basin, and Kaia Lake.
The spice cassia, stories told, grew in shallow lakes guarded by winged dragons, and cinnamon grew in deep glens infested with gigantic, deadly poisonous snakes. Horrible sea monsters waited for unsuspecting sailors in the Arabian Sea, the route to India.
Early sailors and spice traders were well aware of these stories, and so whales, giant squid and other ocean creatures became mermaids and horrible beasts in their imagination, and fear and panic could spread quickly through the ship. Sea monsters made their way onto many old maps as very real and true things.
