>Bravo to David Millians' Aggarite headhunters! Tell me more about your setting!
After talking with a number of people in Victoria, I shall be
sharing some of the campaign info that I've developed. But I'm sure
everyone knows what happens when one comes back to game materials for a new
look. Everything needs a bit of buff and polish, and elements have changed
as we've played.

Sure, there's plenty out there, but Orlanthi just seem to be so
good at homebrewing much of their own trouble above and beyond what the
world throws at them.

In my Aggar, the (primarily) women's cults of Orinalda and Agga Gor
maintained many traditions, and the latter is probably one of the primary
origins of headhunting anyway.
More to come.
