Animals
The animals of Makasing suffered along with humans through the Awis. Many species went extinct. But as with people, the healing climate has brought a resurgence of life and many animals are seeing a mean ingful rebound from the brink. These animals below represent a simple cross section of typical animals in the Free Lands. Keep in mind that while there are free roaming Bison and Elk, that many are also managed on large game preserves. By default, animals cannot perform Skills that they do not have Ranks in. The Story Guide can override this when it makes sense for the Story, however.
