"Under the dim woodland lee snorted the head of a hart stag. Antlers broad and branching; eyes wet and rolling with excitement; snout and wet velvet lips bared over human incisors in an insane grimace. It blew hot white breath into the cold spring air, and the heaving chest was a man’s, broad and muscled."

Beastmen – INCUNABULI – Adventure Gothic
Two thousand years ago, the sorcerous Beauties of ancient Idra developed beastmen: Chimeras brewed from human and ungulate biologies. "Ekheinum" they called them, a word taken from the Formal Idran meaning "to hold," for they were a barbaric means of holding land. Self-sustaining, fecund, and brutally territorial. They were, and remain, an exemplar of Idran aesthetics: Lusty, totemic, ignoble savages. –
