Okay cool. I am working on a campaign in which some Mwangi Gnolls in the party discover in the ruins of Saventh-Yhi proof that Curchanus was their creator. It is basically a sequel to the Serpent's Skull AP from first edition, but with a focus on the heritage of Gnolls, and battling an attempted incursion by Lamashtu led by Daclau-Sar, seeking an artifact of Curchanus worship.

I just wanted to be sure I wasn't going against any hard lore, as everything I have read I remember to be fairly elusive about the creation of Gnolls, focusing mostly on the fact that it is a story that the Gnolls tell, of Lamashtu mating with a Hyena to create them.

Thanks for the input, and if any of ya'll do know of any hard lore, please point me in the right direction.

So I know that Curchanus' death at the hands of Lamshtu's traps is what shifted the domain of Beasts to her; my question is whether she was actually the hand that crafted Gnolls, or whether that is something she took credit for after the fact? It seems like Katapesh Gnolls are certain that Lamashtu was their creator, but that Southern Mwangi Gnolls have other ideas. Has there been an official comment or piece of lore upon it, or is it just a matter of faith for Gnolls?
