The frog Queen is a minor water divinity and faerie who may appear among colonies of frog folk, toadlings or other amphibians to temporarily guide and protect them. Local amphibians will of course temporarily cede all rulership to her. Occasionally a frog priest might object but she usually explains she will chat to their deity in person again soon and tell some story about how tight they are. Some say she is the mother of various frog petty gods. She has her own special priorities and not being eaten or killed is fairly high.
Frog folk are very interested in prisoners and will often present them to their bosses who will continue gifting them higher until you meet the monarch or petty god ruling them. If you don't kill too many frogs they might enter into diplomacy. Maybe they will demand compensation. They might insist you do a quest for the money or accept debt to be paid off in mercenary work. They might want your followers as hostages. Overall they are quite negotiable but they might feed you to some pet colossal pit toad pit or small elder god if their generous offers are accepted. Throwing you to the maggot pits is the biggest insult. Frogfolk like to dwell in swamps where humans and other humanoids may not even put up with ancient evils and malignant land spirits. Bards are very popular to frogs and will often place prisoners into a play-or-die music contest with a frog bard.

d12 Frogfolk Settlement Type
1 Camp for nomadic stoneage frog folk, leaving few traces often don't use even fire, often use ambush, persistence hunting, poison darts and arrows and slings and javelins and clubs, a few have hunting animals like a pack of hunting frogs or even riding larger dumb frogs
2 Village simple frog folk, with bug farms, irrigation, pottery, woven houses on huge reed rafts, shrine, hall and a boss shack and a blacksmith who works bog-iron. Will have all kinds of prehistoric and magical pets and giant bugs for livestock
3 Town of Frogfolk with more permanent structures possibly wood or thorn hedges and stonewalls. More speciality crafters and equivalent to modern humans with even similar armour and weapons of the region (night prefer fancier ancient ones). Often have secret catacombs or caves with flooded mazes as well as a temple
4 Castle of Frogfolk is a fortified multi-storey citadel possibly hidden or overgrown with vines and slime and looking like a hill in the distance. A noble ruler and their elite noble mounted warriors rule and rule the region with a chapel and the most advanced frog millitary technology. Some are run down, grimy and corrupt others are clean and posh and courtly
5 Frog Cult Centre is built around a monument like a stone circle, earth mound, statue, cave sanctuary, monolith, pyramid, ziggurat, crashed spaceship or whatever depending on local frog folk tech. They might even adopt an older monument or guard one (like the bug and worm gods who need repressing)
6 Frog City is a sprawling walled metropolis with a standing army, navy, wizards school and a spectacular religious precinct. Impressive harbours and engineering features control flooding which they can use defensively to trap or destroy invaders
d12 Amphibian Folk - d3 type per community
1-4 Small Amphibian 3-4 foot tall froglings, toadlings or most commonly froglings (reskin halflings or gnomes)
5-10 Large Amphibian 5-7 foot tall frog folk or toad or newt or salamander folk (abhumans reskin)
11 Amphibian Spirit Folk are able to change from human to amphibian or in between, all use magic and usually similar fashion and material culture of humans. They often act as intermediaries between humans and other amphibian kingdoms (spirit folk)
12 Giant Amphibian 6-26 foot tall often more primitive, possibly treated from birth to be guardians by church or in times of war or just rare mutants
d12 Amphibian Type
1-2 Salamanders and Newts - various types possibly with crests and piebald patterns and bright stripes. Some have huge heads and some ancients had boomerang-shaped heads. Brighter colours more poisonous. Prehistoric salt dwellers are possible also. They predate anurans or tailless amphibians
3 Aquatic Salamanders - have gills and reclaimed ancient waters including axolotls and olm. They cannot survive on land but some turn into salamanders to travel or colonise new waters
4 Caecilians - snakelike burrowing amphibians as animals are like snakes and worms. Have smaller limbs and a more noodly body and prefer life underground
5 Aquatic Anuran - spends most time in water preferring to exit in emergencies or ambush
6-8 Ground Anuran - like to wallow for hours but many dwell on land near water and hunt on land and water

5 Aquatic Anuran - spends most time in water preferring to exit in emergencies or ambush
6-8 Ground Anuran - like to wallow for hours but many dwell on land near water and hunt on land and water
9 Tree Anuran - climbing arboreal frog folk who like tree houses and flooded forests and jungles. Some have suckers others rely on terrain. Can be friendly some smaller colourful ones are poisonous
10-12 Burrowing anuran - burrowing frogs or slightly tougher and more resilient toads. Burrowers might even live in deserts with wells and seasonal yearly rain or less. Not so good in water and poor climbers but try. Grumps often round and may sit in a hole for weeks eating or sleeping
d12 Fancy Amphibian Arts
1 Bug farming so efficient giant swarms constantly around the community and frees snacks

d12 Fancy Amphibian Arts
1 Bug farming so efficient giant swarms constantly around the community and frees snacks
2 Domesticated bugs and worms so common they are everywhere and perform various labour-saving tasks for owners
3 Bog-iron smiths can make rust-free iron but requires a yearly treatment in a crucial with a rare formula, metal goods are superior for those of their technology and might include crossbows and muskets with slightly superior mechanisms
4 Fungus Farmers who often employ goblins and grow crops of fungus for their bugs and even may grow mushroom houses and use fungi creatures as guardians and make magic fungi potions
5 Worm Farmers grow vast pits and dams squirming with worms, caterpillars, and grubs and will even use giant ones as defence or for labour
6 Devout priesthood with many shrines and may call on the holy magic often
7 Arcane amphibians have many wizards and alchemists among them and will have unusual pets often cross-bred with planar beings mutated or surgically altered. They keep vast libraries of prehuman books and magic
7 Arcane amphibians have many wizards and alchemists among them and will have unusual pets often cross-bred with planar beings mutated or surgically altered. They keep vast libraries of prehuman books and magic
8 Chaos amphibians are the more desperate kind who seek fecundity and power and gain mutations and dabble with daimons of the outer void. They will have hybrid cults with local humans as agents. They may commune with frog daimons from primal disorder
9 Elementalist amphibians of sorcerous bloodlines who have bred with elemental kindred long ago giving their clan additional powers and elemental oaths. Will have various elemental hybrids
10 Druidic Amphibians have thriving farms and many giant pets including insects and animals. They may also have vast areas of modified land with dangerous vegetation and creatures as defences and they may even have living houses
11 Faerie Amphibians allies with fey and elf kind and goblinoids and some of the less horrible trolls. Often have allies and faerie and sylvan creatures and elves among them. Many more amphibian changelings among them can live among amphibians folk or among human mortals in secret. May be bright or dark fey depending on amphibians' alignment
12 Great merchants who can trade and bargain for independence and their larger communities have merchants with many local hidden folk will use or even operate shops. They are more culturally diverse and open-minded, d4+2 x10% = number of non-amphibians here. Amphibians might even employ some other species for warfare often lizard folk with giant war turtles. Others might recruit or even make some orcs with forbidden old magic. Other species here take specific jobs they are famous for like dwarf crafters or an elf herb shop. The good amphibians will be altruistic the naughty kind are more corrupt and slimy merchants who abuse the rules and offer credit deals and indentured servitude
Frog folk excel at irrigation, terrace gardens, aquaculture, aquatic engineering and moving large things on boats. They grow plants to feed the bugs they eat and to attract bugs. They cultivate fungus forests, carnivorous plants and certain monsters on their land. This features in their myths and land claims. Long ago frogfolk battled and subjugated the bugs and worms who ruled before the first sunrise. They have waged war on reptilians and fisherfolk but have also been allies vs humans or goblinoids. Sometimes they are thralls of some other species. Snake and crocodile folk are less keen on than draconic or lizard or turtle folk. Bird folk are unpopular also and often fight ratfolk in sewers. They can recover huge losses from very few if they need to and sometimes when get hungry invade outsiders. In prehistory, more amphibian folk were salt tolerant and dominated coasts also and some might still live but they will more likely be salamander types. Quests like these would also be given to amphibian knights at Castle Frog and all lawful good chivalrous amphibians live by this code made by Queen Uula when amphibians ruled the world.
d12 Frog Quest Rewards
1 Barrel of finest frog grog and a case of swamp weed cigars and dozens of wicker baskets with a fortune in delicious live bugs from ruler's own stash
d12 Fancy Amphibian Comunity Features
1 Great frog-sphynx statue which also has a temple inside for strange mysteries
1 Great frog-sphynx statue which also has a temple inside for strange mysteries
2 Spectacular Domed frog council chamber with incredible acoustics for quarelsome amphibian parliement and councils. Also used for singing most nights of the week. Each councilmember has own bath and the main floor is often a communal pool which is filled from the VIP pools above through a fountain mechanism (magic or mechanical)
3 Huge memorial fountain with multiple statues dedicated to gods or ancestors or famous rulers
4 Great Bath House - both a huge public bath but has a noble and a merchant and a pleb class of common pools. There are also private breeding pools where spawn is whisked away to the communal creche or even assigned to families who require someone to take on their skills for retirement and work in family trade
5 Great Garden with lots of water features, pool and streams and is used for communal orgies during certain moon festivals. Some of the plants are narcotic and harvested and sold as addictive swamp weed and frog grog to human amphibian cults
6 Breat Bug Battle Dome where amphibians bring their insectoid and arachnid pets fight for glory and honour and gambling and drinking. Often very noisy when operating. May also be used for intruders or criminals. Volunteers may bet they survive and make money as a bug gladiators. Some arenas can be flooded and filled with booby traps baited with weapons for battle royale events. The more evil the community the nastier and filthier and sader it is. The good battlebug fans always heal their bugs and consider it combat training and don't feed losers to their other bugs like greedy trainers
7 Great Amphitheatre for theatre and orators to debate political stuff and philosophy. Very noisy many nights and being drunk here is frowned on. There are artworks dedicated to past speakers and actors and writers carved in relief on the walls that amphibian thespians will talk about for hours and even drop some poems they wrote about them
8 Great hall for communal feasts where the ruler has a special seat always vacant for them but most comes for festivals or for political clout. Every night drunk amphibians here roar and gorge on bugs and beer. In the morning it all the vomit, poop and dead bugs gets cleaned up by a trained swarm and then fed to poor amphibians or prisoners
9 Opera Hall where high art narrative operas, solo concerts, choral groups and bards perform here with wonderful indoor acoustics and lavish carvings of great fables and performers of old. VIP get private baths overlooking the stage
10 Museum of amphibian civilisation with great petrified monsters found in swamps, fragments of elder gods relics, blasphemous books, weird swamp folk idols, cursed tablets, weird art and other stuff is kept on displayed and studied by amphibian priests and wizards. There are displays and timelines of amphibian history that puts their age as the peak of the universe and now everything sucks mostly now. They like to explain everything through this lens of their own superiority and how actually they invented everything on land first
11 Amphibian Creche where druids and priests care for babies in this holy place and identify the tadpoles best suited for certain trades and send them off to proper families. The commoners get to be labourers and soldiers. The facility could produce thousands if frog folk if needed and they had the food supply. Some send out tadpoles to colonise areas or swap them with other amphibian tribes to get some specialist abilities. Evil amphibians may eat or abandon children or even rescue abandoned ones to start a gang or a cult
12 Pyramid or Ziggurut overgrown, crumbling and most of it has sunk over aeons. Locals regarded as holy and proof they were the dominant power of old. Local stone masons move blocks and cut stone with help of giant bugs some that spit acid or work a saw. They build lesser monuments to more recent rulers in a vast sunken necropolis with prehistoric undead and giant bugs and worms
