Calorum Lore Shared in the Dropout Discord

Thank you, Past!Brennan.

Some of them might re-contextualize a thing or two about TRW series. Typically in response to specific questions, but I focused solely on posting Brennan's responses.

Lore on The Ravening War (from April 20, 2020 1:02am ET)

In 1188, a conflict broke out because Count Jacques Tomaté, a Fructeran noble, was by birthright next in line for the throne of Greenhold!

Culture of the Meat Lands (Feb 21, 2020)

Brennan: Meatlanders have clan delineations based on bloodline and their worship/propitiation of The Great Beasts, which is a pagan, polytheistic faith! Warfare between various clans goes back centuries and centuries, a lot like the ancient Celts, so while some Meatlanders might feel kinship with other Meatlanders over outsiders, it's just as common for a given Meatlander to feel THE MOST animosity to a member of an enemy meat clan. So "The Meatlands" doesn't really have a national identity in the same way that, say, Ceresia does, and individuals there are much more likely to define their loyalty by family, clan and faith than by nationality.

(May 18, 2020 8:14pm ET)

The Meatlanders are like ancient Celts: The fact that they don't wear shirts lets southerners stereotype them as barbarians, but their culture is equally as beautiful, ancient and complex as any other land's. Carn is a metropolis full of architectural wonders, beautiful art, etc. Meatlanders rule!!! Labeling them barbarians, like in real life, is a tool artistocrats use to breed xenophobia and hatred into their homleands population, making them more malleable and compliant

The Rocks Sisters (May 1, 2020 11:46pm)

The four sisters were the four archetypal classes! Fighter, Wizard, Cleric, Rogue!

Magic Items (April 20, 2020 9:44pm ET)

Magical items aren't quite as prevalent in other nations as they are in Candia!

Amethar's Mom (April 20, 2020 1:21am ET)

Amethar's mother, before she was Queen Pamelia Rocks, was Pamelia Pomegrana, a Fructeran noble!

Magic and Miracle Workers (from April 20, 2020 1:04am, 1:06am, 1:15am)

Brennan: Just like in normal D&D, it takes SPECIFIC training or divinatory magic to tell if magic is arcane or divine, or where its power source originates from! People's reactions to magic are LARGELY based on uninformed prejudice, and aesthetic. This is how Lapin is mostly able to con people.

Even within the Bulbian Church, 99+% of its clergy CAN'T cast magic. Being a miracle worker is a REALLY big fucking deal, and almost always guarantees ROCKETING to the top of the church hierarchy

Liam's magic truly getting him in trouble depends on context! Obvious spellcasting would get him in a lot of trouble, but Candian's magic items usually get a pass from commonfolk because it would be viewed as "alchemy," which isn't seen as being heretical at all!

Leadership in Calorum (from May 6, 2020)

5:32pm ET

Brennan: Plumbeline is the Sovereign Ruler of Fructera, yes! Gustavo had to abdicate in order to become Concordant Emperor! Plumbeline's title is still Lady though, Fructera doesn't have a monarchy, it has a complex consortium of Noble Houses that rule through an orchestrated bloc of alliances, kind of an aristocratic bureaucracy!

5:40pm ET

Brennan: Dairy Islands ALSO a monarchy, just doesn't confer the title of King or Queen to its monarch (uses Prince or Princess), also Ceresia HAS been a monarchy at times, has vacillated between Republic and Imperatorship MANY times, with some dynasties of Imperators lasting a dozen generations or more!

Social Categories

Brennan: All the food nations have weird edge cases, so the delineations are DEFINITELY social and not biological/botanical. Pie people, a combination of grain, butter and fruit, are overwhelmingly Candian. In Calorum, these edge cases would be much like they are in our world, the result of historical wars of conquest, marriages, alliances, etc!

Genetic Complexity (from April 20, 2020 2:14pm ET)

Brennan: Popping in here like a goddamned troll to say that Calorans' DNA are powerfully influenced by more than just their parents genetics, but also by the geographical location of their conception, their gestation and even their childhood dwelling place up through puberty! I suspect that every question I answer only serves to raise further questions, for which I am deeply sorry!!

Other Monarchies in Calorum (May 6, 2020 5:40pm ET)

Brennan: Dairy Islands ALSO a monarchy, just doesn't confer the title of King or Queen to its monarch (uses Prince or Princess), also Ceresia HAS been a monarchy at times, has vacillated between Republic and Imperatorship MANY times, with some dynasties of Imperators lasting a dozen generations or more!

Queer Rights in Calorum (from May 18, 2020 8:23pm)

Brennan: Candia is the MOST permissive of all the nations in terms of most issues, but no nation in Calorum is openly homophobic. However, it's important to remember that archaic concepts like bloodlines, political marriage, heirs and primogentiure [sic], etc. still exist in this world, and are more emphasized and expected in nations outside of Candia, which puts a lot of pressure on the nobility from that end of the spectrum. In a weird way, that means peasants are a lot freer in terms of who and how they love and marry than aristocrats and especially royals, which there is also some interesting IRL research and precedent for!

Post-War Events (May 18, 2020 8:07pm ET)

I don't think any of these are spoilers, but Amethar and Caramelinda married shortly after the war ended. King Jadain died shortly after the war, after the establishment of the Concord!

Funeral Rites of Calorum's Faiths (May 18, 2020 8:04pm ET)

Bulbians practice burial and very formal funereal rites, and have a sharp delineation between body and spirit, so the body which is crass and material goes back into the ground, and the soul joins the Bulb. Meatlanders practice cremation, and have different beliefs based on religious affiliation, but most Great Beast faiths belief that an afterlife is EARNED through great deeds, otherwise you're reincarnated and get to try again!

Gateway Classic Cars Las Vegas is proud to present, this powerful 1967 Ford F250.

This ready to rumble 67' featuring a two tone, green on green paint job. Separated by a thick purple stripe along both sides, the hard top covering the rear bed offers a nice touch of modernity and aesthetic. The massive chrome front grille is eye catching from all angles, while her chrome bumper underneath shows no dents or dings either. The rear bumper of the truck has been shaved for a cleaner and more composed look. Sitting on 17" American Racing wheels this big and bold behemoth can really spin her shoes. Packing a 460 Ford Big Block, Holley 750 carb, aluminum water pump, and ceramic headers, connected to a TRW C6 automatic transmission with under/over drive unit. With a shortened driveshaft and 3:73 gear rear end she's powerful and planted. Heavy duty lowering springs rated “E" capacity were installed to retain this F250's weight capacity. Power disk brakes attack all four wheels. Stainless steel gas tank, A/C condenser, and 3 row aluminum radiator was also installed. The 2 doors cab closes with a nice thud giving you peace of mind from loose door hinges. Once inside you notice the custom aftermarket steering wheel hugging the green vinyl uncracked dash. The interior door panels are finished in a complementary gray, green, and purple design while the gray cloth and green pleather seats call to you. Overall, this 1967 Ford F250 is a powerhouse, kicking butt and taking names 1000 RPM at a time.

What on Earth do we do next?

Landing men on the moon is only a beginning. But now the nation will look ahead to other goals on other planets. On Earth, for instance.

It is right here on Earth that we will set some of the major goals of the next decade... goals to improve communication and navigation, to fight hunger and to end the pollution of our environment. And the sustained technological drive that took us to the moon has given us a good start.

TRW is already proving that many of these same scientific and engineering advances are directly applicable to critical everyday problems. We are actively working on air and ground transportation and traffic control systems, air and water pollution control, city planning and development, hospital and medical systems and public safety programs.

But even as we seek solutions to our problems on Earth, exploration of space goes on.

By landing on the moon they discovered Earth's attraction, it's aesthetic beauty in patterns, shapes, colours, and textures of the land, oceans, ice, and atmosphere. This project will be a reminder of Earth's peaceful beauty and seeing it as a whole again, no boundaries can be seen from space.

We are a fast paced World, while technologies have drastically improved since the landing of the moon, it shouldn't be the only thing to remember from that historical moment.

"The crowning achievement of the 20th century gave society great hope for the future"

 The event of the landing on the moon isn't as exciting and breath taking for the public anymore. But we shouldn't leave that achievement in the past, but instead get reminded of what was really discovered on that day, which was the earth, seen from a complete different angle, for the first time.

"Founding of Earth Day – an annual celebration of awareness and appreciation of Earth's natural environment."
