Herein lies a magical world of strange creatures & fabulous beasts, where the Cockatrice's glance can turn a person to stone, & the trumpet of the Manticore lures unsuspecting travellers to their doom. Here be knights riding Hippogriffs, heroes battling dragons, Scorpion men guarding the tombs of the dead, & giants fighting gods.
