Category:Stories
I make no claim to being a master storyteller. You're getting what you pay for. That being said, I hope these stories are at least worth the time it takes to read them.
When I'm not feeling lazy, translated yinrih speech is indicated with Italian quotes («»).
This project takes place over a very long time span. It covers the dawn of the yinrih species around 100 thousand years ago to the present when they make first contact with humanity as well as the following decades as the two species get to know each other. The table below lists the stories in the order I originally posted them on the CBB forum, along with an approximate year (in Earth years before or after First Contact) that the story takes place. Some of the stories are in-universe legends or parables, and thus don't have a date.
