I am curious about the world in which you all live in:

Is the population all animal and animal-folk? Are there towns and cities? If so, how come you decided to live in a cave?

jade: well.. as far as I know, the population couldn't really get more diverse! there's humans, elementals, birds, kobolds and dragons, mantises, cats, jackalopes. you name it, basically. most any species can either be feral, or a 'folk. both live pretty seamlessly together, you'll find.

walk through any village and you'll see over a dozen different species before leaving, I'd reckon. everyone, no matter what they are, has a place in most towns and cities. and many buildings are made with this diversity in mind. accommodations for small, four-legged folk such as myself, or vice versa!

Maddie: and yeah we've got cities. Tlen on its own has two pretty big ones— Landering and Shellat, not to mention the port town Parvanni that's basically the nexus of trade on Tredan. Cooperation is a sign of civility, after all.

phy: as for why we're camping out in an obscure cave north of Landering, lemme give you a brief history lesson.

Old dragon is actually a retronym you know, we used to just be called dragons up until about 33 decades ago. The Hunters' Guild was — still is, kinda — a group dedicated to killing all the "monsters" in Atheria. They really meant any species, sentient or not, that might oppose the rule of humaniforms. So when they had built up enough support and strength, they decided to start killing dragons.

That war lasted 2 decades, and did lead to the deaths of most dragons. A few hatchlings survived that became new dragons, but 31 decades ago the remaining Old dragons gathered together to fight back. The end of the Hunters' war was hardly even a battle, but it was so late. Only a handful of Old dragons exist anymore.

I was born 31 decades ago, in this cave. I spent my first years hiding, remaining unseen. I'm probably one of the youngest Old dragons, but they don't really talk to me much. Besides, if there is a younger Old dragon than me it's probably best that they're kept secret. This cave, however, has always been my home; I've just been lucky enough to get to share it.

jade: if anything, I feel lucky that you trust me enough to let me stay here, love.~ this is better than any burrow I've ever lived in. bigger, too. more stony.

eli: GAY

eli: same tho

Hello! I have a question for Jade that's kind of not a question..

Your shattered horns are so rad... How come they look like that, if it's not rude to ask?

jade: thank you!! I'm quite fond of them myself.~ i'll allow you to gaze upon them head-on, since you're so intrigued!

jackalope antlers are these crystal fractals that catch and store magic for later use. they tend to shatter if you store too much magic in them! I, however, am not a physicist.. Maddie! did I get all of that right?

maddie: uhh... basically? i went ta school for engineerin not biology. way i understand it, with castin stuff, more surface area means more power, and more expensive to make. magical fractals are great at both catchin lotsa magic and gettin bloated from too much. too much bloat without lettin it out means it breaks.

jade: yeah, I think what happened with me specifically was that I passed by someplace.. or someone? something? with a lotta magic that my antlers simply could not handle.

now, what jackalopes do with a set of broken antlers is up to them. some like to grind up the shards into a fine dust, which can be used as a secondary in some mana-recovering medicines and potions. some sell them off since they're a rather useful component for creating self-sustaining magical items.

me personally? I use what little magic I have left (and whatever magic they're able to draw now) to have them float and reform. I can reform them into tools, weapons, armor. or floating platforms, which can support my weight. or in this case.. Maddie's weight!

maddie: it is somehow not the least comfortable place i've had to sleep
