13:1213:12, 27 December 2025 diff hist +2,070 N Postures Created page with "Yinrih can assume a number of static postures when idle or when performing tasks. # standing on all fours. This is the standing position that requires the least amount of energy. It's also the position taken in order to start walking. # Perching. Lying on the belly straddling a narrow surface such as a branch with the paws and tail hanging freely. This is the default "sitting" position. The yinrih equivalent to a chair is built for this position. Such perches may have..."

13:0013:00, 27 December 2025 diff hist +1,078 N Erickson Created page with "Erickson is the small Texas town that the Dewfall lands in. Rather, a park outside of town. It's just large enough to justify the presence of a small college. The residents are very protective of their little guests, and it's largely thanks to them (and their many, many guns) that the missionaries remain unmolested. The town was historically an ethnic enclave for Lebanese immigrants who arrived in the US via Galveston. After WWII and the proliferation of air conditionin..."

The word for these structures in all major yinrih languages has gone on to mean giant or titan, and is used to indicate anything imposing or intimidating. The first Colossus was built at Moonlitter by the Knights of the Sun as a war memorial honoring the knights who joined the Pious Dissolutionists at the plea of Iris the Hearthsider. It's a fully working mech, much larger than normal, po..."

This is accomplished through lighthouses, places of worship of the Bright Way. They evolved out of the open bonfires tended by shamans prior to the Theophany. These bonfires grew into sheltered hearths as the yinrih's society advanced. With the discovery of electricity the hearths evolved into small power plants distributing electricity to the homes of the faithful. The..." current

A central bus artery feeds oxygenated blood to the Kit, and returning veins pass through a semi-permeable dermal layer to allow for gas exchange. The arrangement of kits in the womb nest is what gives Womb Ship their name, as suspension capsules are arranged in a similar manner."

Created page with "”Where’s your bathroom?” I think this was the third time any of us had heard him speak since we met. Brightstar and Moonglow had found him on the tram from the city center, his snout buried in a claw-written notebook. We needed a second sire besides myself to equal the two dams, and he smelled of age. Moonglow was never one for subtlety. She came right out and asked if he was looking to join a childermoot. “Yes” was all he said, and “OK” was his answer to..." current

The damned are devoid of all sensation, including proprioception, with only their own regrets for company. The void is not separate from The Empyrean where the souls of the blessed dwell in the Uncreated Light. The difference is in how the realm is perceived. One is not sent to the Void, rather, they consign the..."

While humans often compare them to chimps, they're more closely related to the yinrih than chimps are to humans. It's better to think of them like early hominins. They're clever, can use simple tools, and have complex hierarchical social structures, but..."

According to Claravian theology, it dwells outside of space and time and is responsible for bringing the universe into existence. It lacks a name, as that would imply there are more than one of its kind that would need to be distinguished with names. ''The Uncreated Light'' is thus considered a descriptor rather than a proper name. Various ot..."
