10 things you need to know about Rifts® Lemuria

1. The “Fish-People” on the cover are not Lemurians. They are aquatic allies of the Lemurians known as Merans. The guy riding the manta ray isn’t a Lemurian either. He’s an adventurer from the surface visiting a Lemurian city.

2. Lemurians are, in effect, amphibious humanoids with legs, feet and look very much like humans. They function equally well on dry land as they do underwater.

3. The land and water nature of Lemurians means their weapons, armor and magic are geared for both land and water. This book is jam-packed with weapons, living Bio-Armor, riding animals, monsters, magic spells, vehicles and equipment that can be used in ANY campaign, even those completely land-based.

4. Lemurians are ancient humans who existed during the same time period as True Atlanteans about 15,000 years ago. When Atlantis disappeared, it created a global ripple-effect that had profound repercussions on Lemurians and caused their civilization to also vanish.

5. Lemurian Biomancer Gene-Mages have, over the centuries, “adjusted” their DNA to make Lemurians amphibious, stronger, faster and advanced humans. They see themselves as humans, but will you?

6. Lemurians use Stone Magic and Biomancy but in different and more advanced ways. That means stone vehicles, living power armor, living weapons, machine-like symbiotes, and strange herbs and plant-life.

7. Lemurian Biomancer Gene-Mages have “gene-tweaked” many animals, monsters and sea serpents to make them suitable as riding animals and pets.

8. Lemurians know many new Biomancy and Ocean Magic spells and they are presented in this book. Again, many are suitable for use on land.

9. Lemurians are the arch-enemy of the Lord of the Deep, the undead and all evil supernatural beings.

10. Rifts® World Book 32: Lemuria is filled with secrets about the Lemurians, their civilization, Atlanteans, Easter Island, Pre-Rifts Earth history and more. One of the biggest secrets is that Lemurian cities are . . . oops, that’s one of the big reveals in the book, so we can’t give it away here. Sorry.

A number of people thought I was going to post this in my last Murmur or as a separate Murmur. Since the Thursday Weekly Update has been delayed till tomorrow, because of me, so I figured I would, indeed, post it here as a Murmur from the Megaverse.
