Re: Analysis Swap: Alál
Please don't feel beholden to engaging with the roleplaying aspect here I'm leaning pretty heavily into the RP aspect of this game in my own thread, so I look forward to seeing where your little story goes.

Re: The Lonely Galaxy Megathread (comments encouraged)
Did the theophany directly refer to female hearthkeepers or was it only a continuation of the previous religious practice? nonsapient yinrih females were in charge of foraging for fruit and other edible plants. This allowed females to develop zoopharmacognosy behavior, which developed into the sham...

The Bright Way on the Environment
What's the Claravian relationship/doctrine with environmentalism? I'm glad you asked, as that was one of the things I was going to write up soon. This earlier post touches on an adjacent issue.

After ruminating on your point, I agree. Childermoots aren't considered lifelong commitments. They're only there to raise ...

Hmmm, this is interesting; did you watch Biblaridion's Alien Biospheres Episode 15? (It just came out, and it discusses sapience.) Nope. As I told Visions1 earlier, this is mostly inspired by This weird little book . I should hasten to add that the book was tepidly received by the author's fellow t...
