Monsters
Types Allowed
Aeden is not populated with hordes of intelligent monsters the way that many AD&D/D&D worlds are. Instead the only intelligent life is the Abiel, and the racial groups descended from them. Now, because of magic, and the influence of evil, there have been some monster races created from mixing man and animal, or just playing with the make-up of man. Because these creatons have occurred outside of Shukah´s will, they have tended more closely towards evil. However, Shukah is merciful and some of these beings have eventually been shown to have souls and possess the capacity for divine magic.
Therefore the monsters allowed are truly regarded as such, and there are few monsters that are actually intelligent. Instead, opposition to PCs most often comes from other Abiel and therefore there is less room for morally unambiguous hack-and-slash adventures.
