I think I want to write a companion piece for it but I'm already juggling two stories hnng pain, need more deadbeat writers.
I love your writing style Founder, you bring something really unique to the thread! I would enjoy a glossary, the line " by the Rikitnahualli, by the Rikitlachixqui, by the Rikitlaeknir, by the Rikitpochteca, by the Rikitemachtiani, and the Rikitlalchiuhqui." really fucked me up. Were these included in the org chart you made?
Also, I'm a sucker for this kind of struggle against a higher being shit. Pure JRPG energy. I think in the setting of Vitubia, the objective of the epic last line is probably not achievable, but they might still learn some stuff while trying... Or maybe it's all about the friends we make along the way, that's good too. Will look out for any continuation.

So why don't we start a topic about general farming? One might think you can just till some dirt, bury a seed, and water it to farm but its a bit more complicated than that. Truth is farming soil is more selective than you think. First different crops grow in different climates. Citrus fruits favor more hotter, wetter, and acidic climates in general. Also growing fruit trees from seeds is very difficult and takes a long time. One might think wetter climates may be ideal for farming. But wetter climates have risk of mold and root disease if Ireland's potato famine is to go by.

A good farm comes down to crop rotation, irrigation, and pest control. Even during Age of Exploration farming is a brutal job. There's a reason why slavery was practiced until the late 18th century with the Industrial Revolution. If you were a farmer then you were just unlucky not to be born a lord most of the time.

[Anonymous No.]

>>37061945
Does this go back to a slavery discussion on which countries would most likely utilize slave labor? Which countries would have a harder time getting crops nanora?

[Anonymous No.]

>>37062304
It could. That said forced labor can be a punishment as its legal slavery. Slaves mostly did untouchable jobs like sewer work.

[Anonymous No.]

>>37061945
Slaves, especially in the overseas colonies of the european powers, were mainly used for cash crop farming, not subsistence, this is because importing food is expensive, and because it is not a good idea to put the slaves in charge of the production of food, lest the brutal conditions trigger a revolt among other things, of course, serfdom may be considered a form of slavery, but it is different in enough ways to be tipically be considered something else, the legal status of serfs could also be negotiated by the serfs (tipically with the threat of violence) and by the government against the nobles if need came. See: the difference the English crown and the Russian crown had towards serfs.
This division of labor happened in Roman times too, as slaves were preferred for olives and vineyards.

[OGsuner !I18uq92BL. No.]

We just dealt with slavers so no slavery of any kind allowed. Sure other nations would work harder but we grow shit at 3x speed so I think that more than makes up for it.

[World Exploring Sanalite !BhGStmx/vE No.]

>>37062663
It makes sense for slaves to be used for profit over sustinance. You don't really have to pay them like you do serfs because they are your property. My great grandmother had a letter from the civil war about how her family treated slaves like an investment. They even had top medical care. But because she was a WWII spy the CIA bribed her ex to burn down her old house.

Anyway. Soil quality is important. If your soil is sand then you're not growing much of anything. Swamps have low nutrient soil due to constant rains and drainage. I'm thinking northeast /2434/ gets hit with hard summer rains that its a little swampy judging by the air flow.

[World Exploring Sanalite !BhGStmx/vE No.]

Disregard. I don't know which avatar is who anymore. Anyway Spodzol is usually found in needle leaf forests. Only acidic vegetation can survive its acid soil. You can cultivate on spodzol but you need lots of lime, the mineral. Even then you'll be limited to high acid crops. Peppers grow surprisingly well.

I think it’s mostly taiga with a touch of tundra near the south and in the hills. Can peppers grow in cold places?

[World Exploring Sanalite !BhGStmx/vE No.]

>>37076329
Sadly most peppers do not. That said if you want a snow pepper that's tiny but incredibly spicy and acidy then it might be possible. The pepper's juice can be so acidic that it corrodes your insides if eaten raw.

[Anonymous No.]

>>37076458
Thanks for the idea! I get why it’s acidic and small, but is there a reason for it to be extra spicy?

[World Exploring Sanalite !BhGStmx/vE No.]

>>37076958
TL;DR is to prevent hungry winter animals like bears from eating and grinding the seeds.

Capsicums are named after capsaisin, the chemical that makes peppers hot and spicy. Capsaisin has no effect on birds because birds don't grind the seeds. They poop them out. Mammals grind seeds with their teeth. So peppers evolve capsaisin to prevent mammals from eating them.

Humans and some primates like the taste of natural poisons like alcohol, tobacco, and other life threatening things. And it turns out capsaisin is really good at flavoring and tenderizing meat. So humans learn to cultivate peppers.

[World Exploring Sanalite !BhGStmx/vE No.]

>>37076958
>>37078070
One more thing. Because the peppers would be small and easily eaten they'd be extra spicey to make mammals think twice before eating them again.

A final note about capsaicin. Capsaicin is a natural insect repellant. Perhaps in the summer you can use ground snow peppers as a natural insect repellant. Speaking from experience skin contact is not recommended.

uhhh kino? What pizza toppings did her try to get nanora
>>37078070
Small correction, the reason capsaicin doesn't affect capsaicin is that their taste buds literally have no reaction to it. The flesh of peppers does contain some capsaicin, even though most of it is in the seeds. You're right it's for repelling mammals.

I assume they have human lv intelligence, so they'd most likely be homeotherms. Sweat glands are only really present in mammals that need to travel relatively long distances. And it really depends on how you imagine their lifestyle. Most snakes are ambush predators, so there isn't really a need for sweat glands. Plus snakes have scales that kind of block the sweat glands and hinder with the most important function of it which is thermoregulation. However they could produce some kind of mucus not unlike the hippos. It will be less effective than human or horse sweat but it would still help them with thermoregulation. I'm not that familiar with subspecies and how they vary between environments but first thing their scale colors would likely be different.

So I read https://rentry.org/Melisende

>The hot season had just begun - and for people living on this southern coast of the continent, the wind blowing from the depths of the land meant one thing: the strange people from the south would be coming.
People including climate and weather stuff into their stories is always so much fun to see.

>Ch. 1 to 3
Chapters 1 to 3 are setup. Cant really say much about them, very standard.

>Ch. 4
Oh boy, now we are getting into it. The description of the space in the beginning was well done. I dont know why, but I feel like the writing in general improves at and after this point. The previous chapters weren't badly written at all, but somehow the way this one was written felt really easy and pleasant to read, way more so than the previous 3 chapters.
I liked Melisende's first interaction with Akira, and like her I was also fooled to think that the one doing the punching would have been the abbess. Good subversion of expectations here.

>Ch. 5 to 6
"...the trick is not dying when I'm killed. " gave me chuckle.
The entire scene at the Rychenbach manor ballroom was amazing. The descriptions and the flow worked really well, and kept me very immersed in the scene. Not many stories here have managed to get me into a similar flow-state of reading, but this one did.

>Ch. 7 to 8
The interrogation scene was very good.
The escape and confrontation with the deadbeat scenes were a lot of fun to read, and at times were really intense.
The ending of the 8th chapter, damn. Amazing. Melisende is a badass.

>Ch. 9 & Epilogue
A Twist! Definitely did not see that coming.
Had to have another anon explain it to me what was going on though as the ending didn't really explain it. I don't know whether this was intentional or the result of the problem that I mention below, but if it was intentional I gotta say that I do approve of this way of writing, even though I was not brainy enough to put the pieces together myself.

Overall, it was a good story. I can see why it has garnered the reputation it has.
If I may give criticism, in some scenes it is quite difficult to decipher who is doing which actions for example, at the beginning of ch. 9.
Around what year does the story take place? I would like to place it somewhere on my mental timeline.

What are the biological advantages of having scales, my idea is of a kind of human snake hybrid so not every feature needs to be expressed. I think a few sub species or ethnicities that differ would work and the possibility of a partially scaled or scaleless race of saa worshippers is on the table. The aesthetic is what I really want to nail down, the hole serpentine aspect and all that

[Anonymous No.]

>>37109101
>What are the biological advantages of having scales
Mainly protection, among other things, it's like a harder layer of keratin instead of skin, so you could have something like bits of skin having a slight overgrowth of cartilage or keratin, dunno how you can get there thought.

[Anonymous No.]

>>37109101
In regards to snakes scales are very important for protection. Humans have the agility that they can protect their bodies quickly by moving. A man-sized snake does not. Therefore scales on their backs are necessary to protect their blind spots if they get ambushed from behind. A lamia can have some agility with her arms and twisting spine for defense with an up-front confrontation. However lamia are most vulnerable when they turn around and slither away. So scales have to protect their backs.

[Anonymous No.]

>>37109453
Also, we tipically just shed skin naturally that ends up as dust, but with scales they'd have to specifically mould those parts instead.
Sweat could be a believable adaption to the scales, as normal snakes also have them with functions for moisture.

[Anonymous No.]

>>37109031
Thank you for reading my work! As much as I think there are other, better writers here, I still feel honoured to see others enjoying what I wrote.

>Ch. 1 to 3
You are not wrong in that observation since that is about the time I start seriously writing it. The first two chapters are basically polished greentext I wrote based on some talks about /meat/ conspiracy in /kfp/. It was around the end of chapter 3 that I realised it is not something I can easily finish quickly.

>Ch. 5 to 6
I guess you can say I was indulging myself a little too much in that scene. Apparently the change in quality is quite noticeable if comfydant's feedback was of any indication. I was also trying to focus more on more intricate sensations and internal thoughts with that scene, since others told me that I was pretty bad at showing how my characters feel and think. For a while I toyed with the idea of presenting the possibility of Melisende actually dying there, but it would be ridiculous that a skilled detective would die somewhere named Rychenbach, eh?

>Ch. 7 to 8
I did have a lot of fun writing the action scene. Originally my approach was meant to parody the Film Noir genre but I ended up liking how that approach worked it basically became my default. While Melisende resisting and besting the deadbeat was important to the plot, I suppose I also wanted to throw her a bone given all the crap she had gone through that night.

>Ch. 9 & Epilogue
The obfuscation was partly intentional, since there would be no fun in a mystery if everything was laid bare. Melisende's vocal deductions were supposed to be guides to let readers catch up to what had transpired but it was never the full picture. I did leave some details that were never pointed out in the story and some of you actually found out. That said, I do admit that the ending could be more refined.

I think the confusion was a result of my not being very good at giving personal pronouns and descriptors varieties (the fact that most main characters are female did not help), and my persistent problem of not being very good at giving characters, well, characters, so they can blend together relatively easily.
As for the year, I do not really know, to be honest. It was written early enough that timeline was not really a thing back then, and everything was basically concurrent-ish (I think it was like ~1120 back in the vote?). I suppose it did not really matter that much as long as the elements at play (/meat/-/morig/ tension, /morig/-/kfp/ cooperation, and /kfp/-/meat/ under-the-table deals, and so forth) coincide.

We humans DO shed skin, all that dust in your room that you hate to clean up? An important part of it comes from the skin, it's a very important process that allows us to get rid of bacteria easily, animals with hardened skin (like scales) can't do that, so they have to shed it out in a lenghty process.

So it sounds like a mixture of scales along the back and active sweat glands would still work for a snake person but they'd have something like a seasonal moulting? Saa's lore mentions the desert alot and I've speculated on the possibility of a mythological kingdom that she mentions in her debut.

My idea is for a mostly human appearance for the majority of the population with snake like eyes, forked tongue, and scales along the back being common traits. Slender builds for men and curvier builds for women.
Kind of unrelated but I also had the idea that the tribe would be ruled by the thickessst of the Morsel women and that specific genes could cause a hyper hip effect like Saa's wider model. Are there any ramifications of this that would be particularly detrimental, it could be waved away as a result of partial /ag/ alignment if needed but I'd rather not unless a concept depends on it.

I have a lamia character based on a western diamondback rattlesnake in another project. She gets most of her water through eating raw meat and eggs, but she also can squeeze water through tubers and cactus. Carrying alcoholic spirits is also common in her tribe as both medicine and a drink. Her tribe also uses mud baths, cool sand baths, and moisturizing creams to hydrate their skin. Even if lamias can't sweat like we do they have ways of cooling off. Even cloaks provide lamia protection from the sun during hotter days. Snakes also naturally cool off by hiding in underground burrows if its too hot.

hmm not sure if this is maybe due to it being put in after the fact but i feel that chapter 4 moves quite quickly and leaves lots of potential left behind. i feel that the talk of lüttwitz towards his officers would have been a great opportunity for some well build tension and character building for lüttwitz to deal with it, even more so with marschwitz afterwards and the potential fallout that lüttwitz would have had to deal with once he had to face hofacker and the pent up anger of his officers.

also since its clear that many officers will probably be stubborn mules. it might have been itneresting to see lüttwitz actually interact with his soldiers for once and give him some confirmation that his way is not completly wrong at all and maybe even introduce a character or two that show some eagerness and talent for future people that will join the ranks as supporters of lüttwitz.

that said however this feels like a way more interesting, and at least to me, natural development of things than the more haparzed jump that was there before and made this more interesting and also made some characters shien a bit more like giving hofacker some development even if little. it also feels like some nice tension for some critical kino in some do or die situation between the pride of the officers and lüttwitz as a person and his respect towards the regiment.

Morsels aren't nagas though that doesn't exclude nagas from existing as potential creatures, in terms of the species Saa is categorized as an Eastern Indigo but glancing at the Tsuchinoko, I think having the name be a title for the wider hipped of the tribe would be appropriate given it's chunkiness.
I'd rather keep with a less important role given Saa's presence on the board is minor and Morsels tend to be very hush hush, extending a powerful presence in /lig/ overall doesn't seem like the move to make also due to the fact that I am both an architect and also writer for another nation nora, though in regards to the desert west of /lig/ I can certainly see the Glass Kingdom mentioned in Saa's debut being present.
I think the /ag/ goddess that would have a particular national presence would be someone like Mint or Milky since they're discussed far more and have more deliberate ties to the board.

I did my reps on how climate conditions affect pepper hotness but the result’s inconclusive so I think it’ll just vary a lot due to the breed and a side effect of being selectively bred to grow and ripen as quick as possible. The most common ones are probably somewhere around or above red savina but local farmers making use of specific local environment in small scale might be able to produce something much spicier though I imagine those to be more as herbs or resource than foodstuff

For me the reason why I say the peppers are small, at least in the wild, is because it takes a lot of water to grow big fruit. I think if you're domesticating peppers then you will selectively breed for the traits you want. Depending on how irrigation looks you might want smaller but potent peppers over big and less spicy ones. Also keep in mind you keep half of the seeds to grow and grind/press the other half into powder or oil. Speaking of recipes many pepper sauces use vinegars. Tabasco sauce is Tabasco pepper juice and vinegar.

The thing about fantasy races is that they are usually not very realistic. How two very distinctive species can intermingle and produce reproductively viable offspring. I suggest limiting what they can do/achieve. There are already technically fantasy species like the Risuners which are basically demi-humans from isekais.

[Cunt !.Q010oIZDo No.]

>>37141334
Well, one of the easiest ways to differentiate them from humans physically is digitigrade legs. Mess with the proportions of other parts as well, and you are done. That, and of course their culture and beliefs. Saplings can probably help you with that, they are the ones with the most out there race so far.

[Anonymous No.]

>>37141334
For elves, their longevity and affinity to magic is the stereotypical divider between them and humanity, alot of isekai and anime media tend to ignore this to make elves more relatable to human protagonists and the audience but if you emphasize those traits you can distinguish them very quickly.
If you have a particular idea or trait you want and it's unique, you can expand on it in order to create a concept that aligns with your nation.

>>37141822
On one hand I’m not completely sure about going for the stereotype but on the other hand I guess elf itself is a stereotype so it’s weird to draw the line there instead of here.

I guess given how much influence monhun has on /vnug/ already I might as well go all-in. It helps that both Liora and Kokone are monhun veterans. I don’t know if I want to copy the 4-finger arrangement too both because I kinda intend them to be a human variant (can Wyverians interbreed with other humanoids?

Writing a proper elf is tricky. They're suppose to be these immortal long living creatures but often times they're tree sluts in anime.

if you create a form of dark skinned(for absorbing rare sunlight in these latitudes), with white hair(to reflect light of places where it is less needed on the body towards the skin), i would advise to have them store a certain amount of fat to survive the winter better, the body prefers to stock life-garantueeing fat in the chest area, tummy are and thigh area to safeguard the more important parts of the body where organs are for example.

for society, you could invert expectations a bit by giving the dark skinned elves a strong maternal drive where they love to take care of children, even of other races and help them grow up and teach them instead of them being arrogant people looking down on humans or sex sluts.

[Anonymous No.]

>>37147107 (me)
like maybe each village has like some local members of the dark skinned elves and local woman that cannot do jobs for example elderly etc. take care of all the children in the village while the adults all go about their jobs since more hands might be needed in such a snowy area to help survive. this kind of behaviour actually was common in quite a few societies in our past too.

you could even have the female dark skinned elves natural evolve over the time into this role and have them naturally lactacte a bit even without a child of their own for their motherly roles.

Personal preference aside, I think that would make the most sense (compared with the alternative) especially if we go with the idea of them having a low birth rate.

this is not about fetish stuff.

darker skin actually does help with absorbing light in these latitudes, look at inuit, they too are of a darker skin color. for that reason i would almost advise vnugbro to consider his whole nation to be of a drk skinned type.

having reserves of fat in thei rbody is also beneficial for both isolating th ebody for heat as well as giving nourishment for days of snowstorms where you cannot go out and about.

as for the dark elves, giving them a maternal role on the villages and cities would not only subvert expectations but also give them an interesting as well as important role as a backbone in /vnug/ culture while not making them oppressively in the fornt of anything or forcing them to be some weird outsider role with their own tribe away from the rest.

There's also Tolken's elves that started the stereotype of high and mighty elves. In Tolken's work elves were gods. Norse mythology also had elves as evil creatures. Could pull inspiration from wyverians from Monster Hunter. After the fall of civilization Wyverians established the Hunter's guild and taught humans the way of the hunter.

Anime stereotypes aside I think you should look into the history of /vnug/ and see what kind of people will evolve from the climate. Having longevity means nothing if your people cannot survive the climate.

it only makes sense for female dark elves that have adopted to a strong maternal role and taking care of children of the other races to be able to provide them with much needed nourishment in lew of their actual mothers while those are away. its called wet-nurse and is a very common thing even in todays society.

You should look up orangutans. Orangutans have the second longest childhood in primates next to humans. Orangutans are also the best tool users of the apes. If elves live longer and are expected to be more intelligent than humans then longer childhoods is expected. In DnD 3.5 elves became mature adults at 212 years old.

Alright… dark skin and light hair are probably the general phenotypes given that that’s what Liora & Kokone prefers as well, and digitigrade legs might require more muscle and tendon for the resting posture (at least for something sufficiently similar to humans) so the other criterion should be satisfied too if how we humans look when we wear high heels is of any indication

That works too and I think it’s actually closer to the original roots of fantasy elves in a good way! I’m not completely sure about the skin tone’s justification in that regard since not all polar people have dark skin (Sami people being the most prominent exception) though

>>37149345
Are we particularly proud people anyway? /vnug/’s magic lends itself to a more obvious need to preserve nature but I think that’s probably as far as my idea of /vnug/ elves being in tune with nature goes since to be completely honest, I’m not really a big fan of that trope at least in the way it’s commonly portrayed

Well people in tune with nature is a good common trope. The Chozo in Metroid Prime is a good example of highly evolved beings who became in tune with their homeworld. At least before phazon corrupted them. A bad elf trope is bratty elves that deserve slavery and rape correction. Elves should take care of the land and the animals. They have the long life experience and foresight to enjoy nature's bounty. Not saying they should be hippies about it. But nature can be comfy if you know how to take care of it.

Yay! I thought I'd have to wait until we got a bakatare rep to get them.
Fun fact, a reason some polar populations have darker skin is because of the snow, surprisingly enough. In most regions, the ground is dark, and the sky is bright. But in place with a shit ton of snow, a big fraction of the sunlight is reflected from the ground instead of being absorbed, which results in people there being actually exposed to more sunlight than people living in temperate regions.
I think I already mentioned my "Getting a sunburn in my nostrils on a glacier" anecdote, kek.
High protein diets are also supposed to have a correlation with higher melanin content, but I don't know what's the mechanism behind that.

[Anonymous No.]

>>37155172
Welcome back!
I think if the elves’ foot are otherwise similar to humans then their toes should be similarly good at gripping at things but I don’t know if that would help climbing trees a lot. My main concern’s that digitigrade legs don’t seem to be as flexible and stable compared with plantigrade legs. They’re probably not going to be as good climbers as Palkyries either way but I was wondering if that would prevent them from making use of tree houses entirely
Speaking of which I probably should think about how the traits pass down in the case of interbreeding. Someone with Palkyrie tail and digitigrade legs sounds like a kangaroo

>>37155174
I’ve been thinking about elves for a while due to Lofi’s lore but I couldn’t figure out a good way to incorporate that. Liora & Kokone’s preference happened to line up with this thread’s edition so I decided I might as well ask for some suggestions here
As for the skin tone I’m mostly curious about why it isn’t more universal among polar people if it helps but then again doing my reps on leg structure reminds me that evolution doesn’t always produce the optimal result. I wonder if living in taiga where there are a lot of dark trees and cover makes that selective pressure different from living in tundra where there are not. That leads to me thinking if the elves evolved to have digitigrades because they have been walking longer than humans and lived in the treeless tundra back then. Maybe some kind of mammoth steppe during the last ice age? Not sure if that’s far back enough for evolution to work especially if we also go with a longer breeding cycle

>High protein diets are also supposed to have a correlation with higher melanin content, but I don't know what's the mechanism behind that.
It's due to vitamin D, the Inuit take a large portion of their vitamin D from the oily fish and seals they eat, so their skin could remain with high melanin content to protect against the sunlight, and whenever the dark winter settled in it wouldn't affect them too much either, or so I've read, need more reps.
Still, there's plenty of fair skinned Inuit too, they're not all as dark skinned as popular perception would portray.

>>37155576
>As for the skin tone I’m mostly curious about why it isn’t more universal among polar people
Oh, that's an interesting question! Hmm, this is only educated conjecture, but my guess would be that, for example, the Thule people who would become Inuits could have had a phenotype that tanned more easily (they came from the russian far-east, so they're distantly related to steppe people), while the Sami had more genetic material from paler-skinned europeans. Both the Inuits and Sami moved to where they are currently fairly recently, from an evolution standpoint, so you could also theorize the Thule already were adapted to summer snow sunlight from living in Northern Russia for a long time, while the Sami are relatively "newer" to the Arctic circle. Apparently they got pushed farther North by the rise of Vikings, as well.

With digitigrade feet, I think the point of divergence between the elves and humans would have to be quite far back, millions instead of thousands of years back like the last ice age would be. But justifying them with an adaptation to a steppe lifestyle checks out. Maybe they used to live mostly in the tundra (explaining the dark skin and feet), but their populations got displaced towards the forests by the more quickly reproducing Palkyries? That would also parallel but invert the Sami and Vikings' dynamic in a neat way, too.

The issue I have with that idea (beside them potentially being a relatively recent and artificial species) is that Palkyries are much better suited for living in the forest in terms of physiology so they would be driving the elves out of the forest into the tundra instead of the other way around. I think it’s more likely that the elves ended up in /vnug/’s forest is caused by the end of the ice age causing the mammoth tundra to shrink with rising sea levels and the spread of trees. Their range probably got compressed further because of humans spreading from the tropics outbreeding them and maybe better at conventional fighting due to their stabler stance
I agree the Sami-Nose parallel would be cool though!

>>37156298
That or faun although they’ve pretty much merged into something similar. Maybe the reason why popular elves are stereotypical’s because changing them too much push them to be considered different fantasy being instead

Good morning!
So I did a bit of rep on how digitigrade legs work (so many furry arts…) and this is what I have in mind
>/vnug/ elves are a human variant that first lived in the vast mammoth steppes during cold periods of the world
>the lack of woodland led to them adopting semi-digitigrade locomotion more suitable for sprinting
>their feet and lower leg are slightly longer (although likely not very obvious) and their lower body muscle and tendon lengths also differ
>the result is their normal standing posture has slightly bent legs even when standing upright
>they can force their legs completely straight but it’s as comfortable as humans trying to tiptoe
>in terms of weight, they’re a bit less dense than humans, and their balls of the foot and toes have a more developed fat pad (but not full-on paws) to mitigate the increased ground pressure
>a harmless form of tarsal coalition is the default for them, with adult feet often having simplified feet bone structure with more tendons and ligaments and less muscle compared with humans
>their pelvis is somewhat narrower than humans, which leads to a slower breeding cycle as extra effort is required to give birth with a reasonable survival rate, and strong selective pressure towards providing more care to a smaller number of offspring
>although their rear still looks wider than humans due to wider thigh muscles and layer of fat around them, forming a smooth silhouette (compared with “chicken legs” digitigrade portrayal)
>their longer legs mean they’re theoretically taller than average humans, but their bent legs mean they usually look shorter when standing “upright”
>their stance is not as stable as plantigrade human, and their walk cycle sees more movement across the body
>semi-digitigrade locomotion is more effective at running, and their slightly lengthier stride means they can run faster than humans, although not superhumanly so
>the increased need to maintain balance led to them having finer control over their body’s muscles, which also has the side effect of increasing their dexterity and finesse, even in seemingly unrelated actions like hand movement and vocalization
>their walking, sitting, and standing postures are slightly different from humans, significant enough to be spotted by trained eyes but can otherwise pass as humans with strange postures (similar to how humans move when wearing high heels)
>they’re still sufficiently similar to humans to allow for interbreeding with varying degrees of success
>the end of the last ice age leads to the decline of mammoth steppe as sea levels rose and forests expanded
>elves were at a disadvantage against human expansion due to their lower reproduction rate and stability when brawling
>they were soon driven out from the more temperate climate zones and took refuge in /vnug/’s boreal forest and alpine tundra
>nowadays they formed a significant portion of /vnug/’s population, especially among Penelites and Remlins due to their physiology fitting /vnug/’s magic well
>Elven footwear is similar to human high heels both with or without heels, with traditional designs having a larger and softer sole to further mitigate pressure
I think this covers pretty much all the major points covered in the discussion yesterday. Tell me if I’m missing anything! I’ll check between work

All put together, nice. They'd probably be able to give pretty fearsome kicks with that stronger ankle joint, as well as a higher jump. If they evolved to walk around on the tundra, their feet's fat pad would also have the function to isolate their body from the cold of the frozen ground, ice or snow. Do they have claws in a significant manner? That would give them surer footing on slippery terrain, and make their kicks even more dangerous.

Thanks for the feedback!

>>37172234
True! Digitigrade legs are more efficient in terms of proper kicks and jumps so the elves would benefit from that. I think their leg movement range’s a bit more limited than its plantigrade counterpart but I can’t find a lot of details on it, although kicks in martial arts (taekwondo comes to mind fittingly enough) should still work very well. The fat pads also help with insulation from frozen ground (and is something commonly seen in arctic adaptation IIRC) although the main benefit would be to alleviate stress to the foot since digitigrade locomotion’s basically like walking and running on high heels but even more extreme since no weight will be distributed on the heel at all
As for claws, I don’t think they would likely have them naturally due to them still being closely related to hairless apes that lost their subunguis very early on, and nails are not very good at withstanding force and pressure like that. If they need surer footing I think they would have more keratinized balls of the foot (making them more like paws) instead. That said them being sapient means they aren’t limited to what they’re born with, so you definitely won’t want to get kicked by an elf wearing track spikes

>>37173037
Having an interest in spec bio keeps my motivation high, but what also helps a lot is unironically the existence of furries. Their own reps help a lot in letting me know how bipedal digitigrade legs would work and look! Other sources of inspiration include running blades (although they’re less limited by human physiology and so can have a more efficient design – it’s fascinating to read about the troubles they have with regulations when it comes to competing with athletes with organic legs) and sprinting techniques where touching the ground with heels is avoided

Some Gallapagos tortoise species are extinct. The story goes that tortoises on the main islands lost a lot of grazing ground when settlers chopped down the trees and tilled the fields. One of the fruits native to Gallapagos is guava. Humans really like to eat the native guava. So we learned to farm guava. It turns out guavas are tortoises' favorite fruit with lots of dense nutrition for growth. And with more guava around tortoises grew bigger, lived longer, and laid more eggs. That and with human conservation efforts tortoises are doing very well.

Also, is this criminal town on the risuner map or was it just a split second add?

On the climate issue I don't think we should change it according to the corrected projections until the saplings are here and also agree to it. Especially since any magic stuff they want to do in the case that they want to preserve the oceanic climate would affect parts of /who/ too. So should we proceed as the 2nd version (current) of the climate map dictates? There should be some kind of magic stuff we can do to keep the overall climate of the North Western continent right?

or just a warmer planet in general

[Anonymous No.]

>>37192624
A little reluctant to do that since that would affect literally everyone. Unless the projection means that it ends up being very minor. Otherwise some sort of local phenomenon would be better.

[Anonymous No.]

>>37192726
both global warming and differing projection affect polar regions disproportionally so they should cancel out each other reasonably well

please no, we put climate chads through too much with our petty desires.
Also I can't be certain but I don't think Global Warming works that way nanora.

>we put climate chads through too much with our petty desires
feels like using local magic phenomena to change the climates would bother them more desu
>I don't think Global Warming works that way nanora
greenhouse effect makes a planet more evenly warm, so colder parts of the planet would be more affected than the warmer parts

To keep it brief: I do not think this is a good idea at all as many anons have worked hard with economic rentries that would be impacted by this and I am totally against a decision made without a vote on such a magnitude. Please keep others in mind!!!!!!

I dont think this impacts anything for you or anons economics. Besides, it sort of is the correct climate anyways and I am baffled that this is an issue for your nation with its magic climate. Do you oppose things just to oppose them?

>colder parts of the planet would be more affected than the warmer parts
I can get that but wouldn't that still change some climates that everyone has been pretty comfortable with nanora? I think magic is a more fitting solution since it can ultimately be waved away as "magic" that doesn't have a greater global affect.
Actually I think the most fitting solution would be to work with what we've got or to invade lands that have more favorable climates but I feel like people are adverse to that.

Eh, I disagree, ultimately the world should make sense as a whole, and the things that the saplings have to change are overall not that much.
If having our climate be different (oceanic instead of what we have now) is what's needed for the world to make sense, then it is something that we simply must deal with.
I dislike the idea of having to use magic to change the world instead of dealing with the changes accordingly and organically.

Its after the bump limit and someone once in a while needs to tell them to stfu. I understand your sentiment but i’m tired of some well respected writers getting shit on without any visible support. If it makes me look bad, so be it.

If climate change exists then it should happen slowly over time. I'd say give it a century before we start seeing real climate change. Especially after the industrial revolution.

[Anonymous No.]

>>37194433
I'm not saying we should do it but rather the saplings might want to do it. And before they show up again and make a decision on it I don't think we (well mostly me) can decide on whether or not to follow the revised climate taking into account the corrected projection.
But I do agree that the climate should be consistent, unless it's caused by chuubanite effects that are inherent to that chuubanite's core concept.

Please keep in mind other writers, not just your neighbors!!!!! We cannot just change the climate because we want to worldwide when it could mess up so much hard work and effort!!!! I personally refuse to consider this unless it is agree to vote on it.

[Anonymous No.]

>>37195291
Well I did say that I'm reluctant to change the climate globally. The main issue I have is indecision because one of the nations most affected by the change isn't here right now, not whether to magic my way out of the issue.

[Anonymous No.]

>>37195291
I have to agree with this, while magic climates arent ideal. Changing the world climate has MAJOR implications that are beyond the saplings.

[Anonymous No.]

>>37195398
Thats fair!!! I dont know who all would be effected but I am sure plenty of economic rentries would be screwed by this as an example.

there's a difference between changing the currently assigned climate and justifying why the currently assigned climate doesn't line up with what we expect though

[Anonymous No.]

>>37195130
The saplings do have the unique advantage that they literally covered themselves to the brim with magic rocks, and with Fauna's theme being nature, them choosing to have localized climate for their northern half is a real plausibility for them.
Well, if they ever come by we can recommend that solution to them if they don't want to do the switch, in the end, I do not believe it will be a problem.

What started this climate discussion? It sounds like it came from /who/ but saplings are also being brought up nora.

The other problem is that the magic phenomenon created by the high concentration of Fuana chuubanite might also affect us. But maybe I'm overthinking things.

Anyway back on break!!!! Please consider other writers hard work while discussing this, God bless!!!!

>>37195685
well, it's conceptual bullshit and other things I don't care to understand, the scale of their localized climate could be reduced to certain bubbles of temperateness instead of completely enveloping their nation, sort of like tiny oasis in the taiga, guess that'll be dealt with when the time comes.

That's up to climate anon more than me, he's the one that informed us of the changes, right? He can give us the baseline and then we can add our touches to it. If he doesn't do it, then I'll try coming up with something that's not too crazy.

[Anonymous No.]

>>37196225
Well yeah he did it about a month ago but I (and the rest of the thread) wasn't aware of the full effect until like a week ago when 3beat made the new projection comparison map. If for some reason he can't do it I think our old climate is exactly like what it's supposed to be now.
