Lankhmar conversions

OK, I spent most to day yesterday (Flu) reading Lankhmar. After reading it more, I like it ALOT. In fact, that setting is how RPing showuld be, low on magic, high n everything else.

Now, I pretty much know what spells I will use (or will allow) from other books, but I need some help also.

It seems to me that Lankhmar is so dark and mysterious that there would be MORE monsters. Though rare.

I am thinking along the lines of some of those in the Monster book that are more unique would be appropriate. I read in the book where it stated that the Troll Mountains were there, and how did they get their name? So, that stands to reason that there can be more monsters.

Now, Orcs, Dwarves, Elves are out, but I see no reason not to have others, that are not GLorantha specific..... Though quite a few of the chaos monsters would fit.


Also, I was thinking of the Ice Magic of the Barbarians. Though still black magic, I am going to convert spells from the WFRP Realms of Sorcery.

They have many types of spells that would be real cool!

Any more ideas?
 
As far as additions to the Lankhmar critters.... I see Lankhmar as a Fantasy setting with more in Common with Robert E Howard's Conan that J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. If there are "Trolls" in the Troll Mountains I'd picture them as Giant Albino Apemen, or Yetis rather than Cave Trolls.
