The Forgotten Realms . . .

The Forgotten Realms opened the door to non-European and non-Medieval cultures as fantasy settings, including East Asia in the form of Kara-Tur, Mongolia and Central Asia with the Hordelands, Arabia and Persia with Zakhara, and the Aztecs and Mayans with Maztica. Why stop there though? Here I have introductory information on Indian, Polynesian, and Australian settings, useful for not only Toril but just about any other campaign world.

	Bharata
	Polynesia - This file contains information on a Polynesian/South Pacific campaign setting I created for the Forgotten Realms, though could be adapted for any campaign world. The article contains informaion on geology, climate, fauna, flora, monsters, a South Pacific pantheon, character classes/kits, and several fanciful South Pacific nations, based on real world, historical examples.
	Uluru - A very brief treatment of a fantasy version of pre-European Australia, developed for Toril.
	Australian Monsters - To supplement any campaign adventure in Australia, I present the AD&D stats for a number of wild animals from the land Down Under, ranging from prehistoric creatures such as the marsupial lion and the diprotodon, to modern day wildlife such as the kangaroo, Tasmanian Devil, and the emu. (Framed)
	Australian Monsters 2 - New article, contains three new Australian fantasy monsters, one based on real life (the giant blue-ringed octopus), one on history (the spectral explorer), and one on legend (the yowie).
	Boomerangs - A true Australian campaign setting simply could not exist without the boomerang! Click here to get info on war boomerangs, hunting boomerangs, and yes the famous returning ones, as well as their little known uses as tools and melee weapons.
