What
you need to know about Blemmaye
The
Blemmaye are the famous race of men with no heads who have their faces in their
chest, they were noted by the Roman geographer Pliny The Elder in his Natural
History as inhabiting Africa in 77AD, no doubt they also peopled other fictional
worlds.
They
were barbarians of bad personal habits, limited culture and clothing.
A mutant sub-species was a hideous half-Blemmaye half-scorpion centaur
which could be born to otherwise normal Blemmaye parents.
Blemmaye are perhaps better known as perennial victims and vassals of the
Elephantmen.
Blemmaye
warriors include macemen, javelinmen, spearmen and massed archers of dubious
competency - the scorpion-centaurs are fierce lancers noted as sometimes living
apart from other tribes and raiding cattle.
Some
powerful clan leaders were keepers of giant trilobites as guard creatures.

Trilobites
can be commanded only by the C-in-C, an allied contingent supplied to a foreign
nation can include scorpion centaurs. A
scorpion-centaur ally-general as part of this army, but not in a contingent
supplied to foreigners, need not command otherwise compulsory foot.
