Once advisors to demigods and immortal kings, the ancient Lamassu of Zul have retreated from the councils and memories of the mortal races that they once tutored and protected. Having grown aloof and suspicious of human motives, their noble bearing, moral superiority, and archaic language give the impression of coldness, disdain, and intolerance. Inhabiting abandoned temples and ruins in wastelands and deserts, their presence serves to ward those sites against the incursions of worse monsters. The Lamassu may be returning to the lands of mortals, but what that return portends is known only to their inscrutable selves.

Includes:

• A history of the semi-divine Lamassu of Zul, and their relationship to the ancient Giant Kings
• Powers of the mighty (and mighty standoffish) Lamassu
• Lore concerning the whereabouts of the remaining Lamassu
• Incorporating Lamassu in your campaign
• Adventures hooks and stat blocks
• Background information about the Lamassu, Shedu, and similar creatures from Mesopotamian lore
• A history of the Free City of Vadashar

The Free City of Vadashar

The Free City of Vadashar includes a line of sourcebooks, adventure supplements, campaign guides, and extensive information about the unique setting of Vadashar, which was introduced in 1980 and combines a variety of fantasy elements: sword and sorcery evoking the worlds of Robert E. Howard's Conan the Barbarian, the shared universe of Thieves’ World, the intrigue and derring do of Scott Lynch's Gentleman Bastard sequence, the carefree swashbuckling of Fritz Leiber's Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser, and the modern film science fiction horror of the Alien and Prometheus franchise.
