Amazons are one of the first 5 species of Dragon Dice®. As the only ivory species, Amazons attune to the magic of the land around them.
There arose a schism after the birth of the Elder Species, but before the issu- ance of the Younger Ones. What caused this discordance, none can say. Speculation has it that, in the aftermath of the fiendish atrocities committed by Death upon his siblings, Eldurim and Firiel, Nature took her four eldest children and hid them from Esfah to soothe their troubled spirits.
Death was too distracted with his new creations to notice Nature’s withdrawal. But there was one who did not fail to notice: Tarvenehl, the Father, He Who Is All.
Tarvenehl has ever been distant, reluctant to interfere with the affairs of others. What prompted him to descend to Esfah is beyond all knowing. Suffice it to say that he did. He looked about him, saw the Elder Species already engaging in the ruthless sport of war, and shook his head. He splayed out his hands, and from them dropped the Amazons, fully formed.
The Amazons were nomadic herders, and they bred monsters to fend off predators. The half-human Centaur, the fearsome Chimera, the many-headed Hydra, and the snake-haired Medusa all guard and protect the Amazon lands.
Of the Nightmare, the fifth Amazon monster, there persists only rumors.
