--- This section of the forums will contain lore on the mobs of Tamora. Monsters of Tamora- Spoiler:
ZombieThought to be minions of Dalvec, The Zombie is an undead version of a mortal. It is said that if certain people die, and Dalvec sees it worth-his while to bring them back, he or one of his accomplices will "awaken" the corpse. However, they have not perfected the art of re-animation, and because so, most Zombies have rotting skin and deteriorating flesh. It has been noted that if a Zombie is killed, he will leave behind a slab of its flesh, HOWEVER it is not advised to eat it as it will upset ones stomach for a short amount of time, and most of the nutrients you get from it, will leave very quickly. It is also frowned upon to eat this "rotten flesh" as it is considered cannibalism. SkeletonAgain, said to be warriors of Dalvec. Most believe the Skeletons are just skinless Zombies, and for the most part they're right. But don't think that just because they are just a bag-of-bones that they will be an easy kill. Due to their loss of muscle and skin, they obviously wouldn't last in close-range-combat, all you would have to do is yank and one bone, and it would fall apart. They know this, Skeletons' are specially trained in long-ranged-combat, using bows. They are deadly accurate, can hit a cow from 10 meters away....although they don't hunt livestock. It is said that Dalvec commanded both Zombies and Skeletons to attack ONLY mortals, all types of life. They target Dwarves, Elves, Orcs, and Humans alike and they are a force to be reckoned with. On the bright side, once killed they may drop a few arrows, and a couple bones. Farmers have discovered that if you ground the bones into dust, they can be used for farming. Animals of Tamora- Spoiler:
PigsTamora is home to livestock of all kinds but the most unpleasant is the pig. Pigs tend to be pink with small white hairs covering there body. However there are brown, Orange, Even black haired pigs. Pigs are mainly used for food as they are packed with thick fats and juicy meats sometimes pigs are used for grazing, This removes weeds, unwanted grass, ect. Pigs have a pungent unpleasant smell due to there obsession with mud and dirt. Pigs roll around in mud all the time this makes them smell unpleasant. Pigs are very useful one large pig could feed a family of three for a week and they have large litters thus creating even more food. Pigs also dont need allot of food some wheat, milk , and potato skins can serve them just fine. Cow'sThe cow is another one of the countless live stock roaming Tamora. Cows tend to be very fat black and white furred animals. cows can be used in so many ways. Cows can be milked, butchered, and breed. Cows milk is notorious for ridding the body of poisons and cows meat is valued over pigs meat in Tamora. However cows breed less frequently then pigs and cows usually only have a single offspring they are also harder to maintain they need to ether be brought to lands rich with grass to graze or be feed wheat. This means more work and more money goes towards the cows. A benefit of having a cow over a pig is that cows tend to smell better and be an over all cleaner animal. SheepThe sheep is another common animal in Tamora they have thick curly fur covering most of there body, this "fur" is commonly known as wool. Sheep are short animals who live off of a diet of water and grass. When shaved sheep wool can be used to make clothes, blankets, pillows, ect. These animals are highly praised for all of there uses from there wool to easy eating habits there a famers dream. However sheep commonly die of frost bite in winter due to the fact that there wool is often shaved off and there weak bodies receive the full effects of the elements. ChickensChickens are small white feathered animals with yellow/orange beaks. Chickens are prized for there delicious lean meat and there ability to produce eggs almost daily. Chickens have many uses, for example there feathers can be used for mattresses also there eggs can be used for baking and there lean meat can fill any stomach easily. Chickens also need minimal care, water and seeds will suit them just fine. There feathers grow back after being plucked and they tend to lay 3-10 eggs a week. Machines of Tamora- Spoiler:
Iron Golem:The Iron Golems are constructions of the Dwarves, they are massive usually standing at 9'5 and weigh around 400 pounds. There innards are usually protected by a heavy layer of iron... this allows them to shrug off arrows and sword swipes fairly easily however there large size and weight makes them extremely slow. Iron golems are a technologically advanced with there large size and complex mechanisms. Iron golems can not simply be created in fact creation of these machines are a dying art, This is mainly due to the fact that they require a live heart to function. The dwarves would spend countless hours creating these golems. The golems were used for protection, gathering, and building. The golems had different parts for different jobs such as an arm in the shape of a shovel for digging or an arm that was made of thick spikes for a weapon. The golems could switch between arms for different activities. Sadly iron golems barely exist anymore in Tamora due to the heart issue and the heavy cost of making them.. In present Tamora most golems are ether seen wandering the forests and caves of Tamora aimlessly or protecting great dwarven treasures in ancient dwarven cities.
