I thought I would diverge from the Jeanby thread and make up something more serious. I'd like to talk about the Wildlife of the Moonshaes beyond the Pack, the Leviathan, and Kammeryn (sp?). I have the Moonshaes book (FR2), I made sure I bought it since the Moonshae Isles are one of my favorite places in the Realms. Icewind Dale is the other.
While the Moonshaes are detailed, you have to remember that the Moonshaes are almost the same latitude as the Galapagos or the Hawaiian islands. To keep the climate more like Britain, there might be a cold current to moderate the climate. Still, you would have interesting wildlife.
I suggest that the two booby bird species might be found there. Along with the Galapagos Tortoise (although it would be called the Moonshae Tortoise perhaps).
Since two races of both Celts and Northmen dwell there, the druids would protect some of the wildlife from overfishing, over logging, and other abuses. Kazgoroth represents abuse of the lands.
So, what do you think? Any suggestions for Wildlife from your Realms or Moonshaes? |

As just discussed in other thread, wild giant boobies might be a danger to the sea lanes.... not necessarily to eat the sailors.... but possibly to dump a chest full of caught fish and then eat them.
Plus, it gives a reason to have a sailor yell "'Ware a giant boobie approaches!" |
