North African Creatures
North African lore emerges from Sahara caravan routes, Nile corridors, and Mediterranean cities. Sources blend temple reliefs, classical accounts, Arabic chronicles, Amazigh oral poetry, and later travel writing. Motifs include desert guardianship, oasis wells, city gates, pilgrimage, and sea weather along the coast. Names shift with Arabic, Tamazight, Greek, Latin, and French spellings, so cards provide transliteration notes. Interactions among Indigenous practice, Islam, and Christianity shape rites of protection, judgment, and remembrance. Use tiles to enter subregions, then open cards for sources, iconography, and historical timelines.
