19:15, 19 January 2026 Lurker talk contribs uploaded File:Writing claw anatomy.png (The anatomy of the writing claw)
15:15, 19 January 2026 Lurker talk contribs created page Writing claw (Created page with "The writing claw can refer to the claw of the digit next to the inner thumb of the forepaw, or to the entire digit analogous to a human's index finger. A yinrih's writing claw is shaped like the nib of a fountain pen, and acts more or less like one as well. However, while a fountain pen uses capillary action and gravity to cause a "controlled leak" to produce ink flow, a yinrih has voluntary control over the muscles in the ink sac. By contracting these muscles, and...")
14:58, 19 January 2026 Lurker talk contribs created page Moonlitter (Created page with "Moonlitter is the sixth planet from Focus, an Ice giant with many moons. It is an independent state, but is caught in the cold war between the Allied Worlds and Partisan Territory. The capital of Moonlitter is Stormburg.")
17:48, 18 January 2026 Lurker talk contribs created page Stormburg (Created page with "Stormburg, also Stormboro or Stormborough, is the capital of Moonlitter. It is a floating city located on the planet itself. It is not open to the air like the cities on Welkinstead, since the atmosphere is not breathable. It is located in the eye of a perpetual cyclonic storm. No sunlight penetrates the deep clouds around it. The only natural light comes from the constant lightning from the surrounding storm clouds.")
19:36, 16 January 2026 Lurker talk contribs created page Steadtree (Created page with "The steadtree is a species of tree native to the equatorial rain forest on Yih. It is this tree that the yinrih evolved to dwell in. ==Fruit== his fruit co-evolved alongside the yinrih's nonsapient ancestors in order to use the yinrih as seed dispersers. It's about the size of an apple, and Its flavor is uniquely adapted to the yinrih's poor sense of taste. It is mildly sweet but has a very, very strong sour flavor. Humans liken it to Warhead candies. The skin is deep...")

23:27, 28 December 2025 Lurker talk contribs created page Welkinstead (Created page with "Welkinstead is the innermost of Focus's two gas giants. (Or if you want to be pedantic, it's the only gas giant, with Moonlitter being an ice giant.) Its atmosphere is rich in economically exploitable gasses. Terraforming proceeded slowly, with floating extraction platforms similar in function to oil rigs being built in the layer of atmosphere where the gasses are most abundant. These structures are held aloft by vacuum pontoons and are capable of a small degree of self...")

13:12, 27 December 2025 Lurker talk contribs created page 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...")
13:04, 27 December 2025 Lurker talk contribs created page Dewfall (Created page with "The ''Dewfall'' is the Claravian womb ship that makes First Contact with humanity.")
13:00, 27 December 2025 Lurker talk contribs created page 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...")
00:58, 27 December 2025 Lurker talk contribs created page Colossus (Created page with "A colossus is a cynoidomorphic structure with a full-sized lighthouse on its back. 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...")
00:53, 27 December 2025 Lurker talk contribs created page Star hearth (Created page with "A star hearth is a ceremonial nuclear fusion reactor used in liturgies of the Bright Way.")
00:51, 27 December 2025 Lurker talk contribs created page Lighthouse (Created page with "A hearthkeeper's duty is to bring physical and spiritual light and warmth to her congregation. 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...")
15:50, 22 December 2025 Lurker talk contribs created page Kit (Created page with "A kit is a juvenile yinrih or tree dweller between the time of conception until the age at which it is weaned. Afterward they are referred to as pups or puppies until they reach sexual maturity.")
15:47, 22 December 2025 Lurker talk contribs created page Womb nest (Created page with " A womb nest, also spelled womb-nest, is a highly derived egg-sac with its own simple heart and circulatory system. 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.")
01:52, 22 December 2025 Lurker talk contribs created page Meanwhile, in an Alternate Universe... (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...")
16:24, 16 December 2025 Lurker talk contribs created page The Void (Created page with "The Void, also called The Blind Void, is, according to Claravian doctrine, the realm of the afterlife where the souls of the lightless are sequestered. 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...")
22:36, 15 December 2025 Lurker talk contribs created page Tree dweller (Created page with "Tree Dwellers (Commonthroat <qgKq-dq-g> /huff, early rising strengthening growl, huff, short high weak whine, huff, short low weak growl/ literally "forest yinrih") are a non-sapient species closely related to the yinrih. 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...")
02:04, 15 December 2025 Lurker talk contribs created page The Angel and the Ape, Part 2 (Created page with ""Hey," the greeter stepped in front of the pair. "No shirt, no shoes, no service," he said pointing down at Pascal. "But--" Fr. Shaheen protested. "--Nah, Just kidding, go on in. I've been wanting to say that ever since you little guys landed." The two entered the store proper. "It'll just be a minute, My cigs are right over there--" Fr. Shaheen gestured toward one of the checkout lanes. A line of shoppers, at least 20 deep, snaked around the surrounding displays. H...")
15:39, 13 December 2025 Lurker talk contribs created page Uncreated Light (Created page with "The Uncreated Light is the most common designation for the incorporeal exocosmic super-intellect worshiped by the Bright Way. 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...")

18:38, 21 November 2025 Lurker talk contribs created page Sophont (Created page with "A ''sophont'', also called a ''sapient'', is an animal capable of language and self-reflection. There are only two known species of sophont, yinrih and humans.")
18:34, 21 November 2025 Lurker talk contribs created page Order of Farspeakers (Created page with "The Farspeakers are a Claravian order historically associated with maintaining telecommunication infrastructure such as interplanetary ansible networks and planet-wide realspace internetworks. Farspeakers believe that telecommunication infrastructure constitutes the "body" of the noosphere, analogous to the brain and nervous system that upholds the consciousness of an individual sophont.")
18:25, 21 November 2025 Lurker talk contribs created page Knights of the Sun (Created page with "The Knights of the Sun (Commonthroat <code>rGHqg</code> lit. 'Armored ones' or 'mech pilots') often simply ''Knights'' are a Claravian order of warrior monks.")
13:54, 13 November 2025 Lurker talk contribs created page Hearthside (Created page with "Hearthside is the innermost planet of Focus. It is tidally locked, and its capital, the City of Eternal Noon, is located at the substellar point. Hearthside is the center of religious government of the Bright Way. Hearthside was founded as an experiment in ecclesiastical utopianism. The government was set up to reflect the ancient power structure of a yinrih shire, where a group of male patriarchs governed secular affairs while being advised by a female sham...")

22:29, 1 November 2025 Lurker talk contribs created page Noosphere (Created page with "The noosphere, also spelled noösphere, pronounced /'no.ə.sfir/, also called the mind sea, is an important philosophical and metaphysical idea in most yinrih religions. Different religions define the noosphere differently, but a common thread running through all its conceptions is the progression from inanimate matter to living things and eventually to sapience, and the interconnections between individual sapient minds. == The Bright Way == In the Bright Way, the...")

My dealer glances furtively to either side, then pulls a clear baggie with bright yellow powder from his wallet. I reach for the goods, but he pulls the baggie away. "Nah-uh! You already got your first hit for free." I draw a polymer note from my wallet, but he slaps it out of my paw. "Get out of here with those mineral notes. It's AW tokens or nothing." I sigh and hand over a few coins. He sniffs them and brushes them aga...")
01:45, 30 October 2025 Lurker talk contribs created page The Angel and the Ape, Part 1 (Created page with "Fr. Shaheen took a drag of his cigarrette as he stared up at the night sky. A few stars were just bright enough to shine through the gray haze cast by the street lights in town. Just at the edge of the trailer's porch light sat an old foundation where a sizeable rectory once stood. It had been far too large for a single resident, so he had it torn down and was now living in a much more modest mobile home. At one point a youth center was planned to take its place, but th...")
01:43, 30 October 2025 Lurker talk contribs created page First Contact, Part 2.5 (Created page with "I'm floating down the main axis, letting the air current push me along. I'm feeling every one of my four hundred years. My left knee crunches each time I grasp a paw cable to push myself forward. I've only got four limbs, and my rear paws have had to pull a lot more weight, literally, compared to someone with his tail intact. I count my blessings that nobody can see how gray my muzzle has become thanks to my white fur. It's been 250 years since I last saw Iris and the...")
01:41, 30 October 2025 Lurker talk contribs created page First Contact, Part 2 (Created page with "We stand in silent awe for a moment. Sunshine is quietly weeping as the beeping continues. It seems to strain against the noise, a lonely soul crying out for someone, anyone, to respond. _Dah di dah dit, dah dah di dah. dah di dah dit, dah dah dih dah. dah di dah dit, dah dah di dah. Dah di dit, dit_. Stormlight flicks his tail, tuning the radio to a random frequency. For a moment the static resolves into an alien voice before fading back into the noise. "They're eati...")

Tod: «Just as long as they don't kill ME.» Jim: "Eh, stay away from Cruella Deville and you'll be fine." Tod, after a moment's thought: «Really though, y'all have a much better deal, setting aside how gross your sweat smells, it really is superior to our panting.» Jim: "I don't know... I think not having...")
01:36, 30 October 2025 Lurker talk contribs created page RTFM (Created page with "“Take these and toss them in the shredder!” Skywatcher shoved a loose pile of claw-written papers into his slave’s chest. The sound of something heavy slamming against the fortified security door echoed down the darkened hallway, followed by muffled barked orders, then another slam. Whitepaw looked down at the notes hastily thrust at her. A light held in her tail feebly illuminated the text. Network diagrams, node tables, firewall rules. Decades, no, centuries wor...")
