There's no oceans anywhere near Negav to put an offshore oil rig.

I imagine most fuels are imported from offworld like most of the other supplies, or magical power sources are used.
It runs on Mana? Razz

No, more like magi-tech power generators that can be charged up by magical input from a mage, or the addition of some kind of magically charged material. Lots of options to go with there, really.

I think it could be mana powered, but not directly. That might just blow your car up or turn it into a Glouteux or something.

So Mana --> Electricity --> Turn the wheels on your vehicle

I think managing fuel sources could become a problem in Negav with all those people, maybe even an expensive one.

Or it could be that electric rock. If it generates electricity by absorbing magic, it'd probably be the most efficient power source since Felarya ain't going to run out of magic anytime soon.

That brings up the interesting question: "Are there liquid/solid hydrocarbon deposits underground in Felarya?", which is in itself dependent on "How old is Felarya?", "Does Felarya have tectonic plates?", and a few other things.

Well, I suppose with Felarya being a plane it wouldn't have a heated core and therefore no shifting plates.

I'm willing to believe Felarya could be as old as the universe. It could even lie at the point of origin.

Anyway, I'm satisfied with the answers I got, fuel being imported from offworld is the most likely scenario. I'm not concerned with who controls it and how it's managed, it might be nothing but a pain to figure out.

To the fuel question: now wouldn't that really depend on a preference of what u think fuel should be. i mean you got all these different cultures in one place, but there has to be a common element somewhere, electricity is already there, but there's gotta be more with different minds and different cultural textures involved in that.

so for example. if I'm a human that comes from a space farring world, as a fuel. since my world has moved beyong fossil fuels and is now working on hydrogen, so what i would use in my vehicle would most likely be water. now if i asked an elf that, they probably say something close to mana or some other entity that is similar

The order is right there in his gallery. The chronological order of submission is also the order of the story.

Is it ok to use the characters in the wikki for my stories or would I have to ask permission? If so which ones, if not all?

I believe you should ask for permission for all characters and ideas that "belong" to a member of the community. You can find there names at the bottom of the wiki pages. There is also a thread sinking somewhere around here with contact information for community members.

I recently asked permission from a someone to write about the Titans and Correctors since they were credited for developing the ideas, but I think the idea still belonged to Karbo so I probably should have asked him instead. In fact, I will do that now. Just get in the habit of making sure the characters or ideas don't belong to anyone before you decide to do anything with them.

Sort of.

Characters, canon or not, yeah you should ask first. That is just showing a little respect to the person who made the character. It is probably good to give them an idea of what you have planned too, so they can tell you if that is alright or not.

Most other ideas in the wiki are free to use, like the flora and fauna and the other smaller, less complex ideas.

I would suggest that if you plan on using a species/race someone made up, that you ask permission beforehand, or at least consult the creator when you use them. Much like characters, a lot of species and races have their own unique habits and cultures that will need to be done right to give an accurate representation of that species/race.

You will be credited with the idea in the wiki and anyone that uses your idea in any of their works is fully expected to give you some amount of credit. They are also expected to contact you about your idea and ask for permission, and if their implementation of your idea is not to your liking, you can tell them how they can change it.
You are expected to ask.
However since at various points people ahve said "I don't mind if people use my plants/animals/etc" idea, It's safe to say that plant and animal ideas are safe to use without asking. I mean how can you get something that simple wrong? More complex ideas you should ask permission for. I know for a fact that Cauldronborn wants anyone using the Investigators to ask him first as they are easy to misuse.
I'd like people to ask before using jetbikes (The entry on the wiki is incomplete, so I'd have to fill them in on details.)

I disagree that a plane would not have a heated core; if it was thick enough then it's lower layers would become molten under the pressure of the layers above. There still might need to be some way for additional energy to be added to the "bottom" in order to prevent Felarya from solidifying.

Well, I didn't mean a center per se. I meant that it could exist as a result of the big bang and lie in the area that it occured.

If theres a limit on how high you can go up in Felarya, does that mean there is a limit on how Far down one can go? and if the is a limit how far down is that limit and where would you go if one goes past the limit?

wiki wrote:
Of course, if Felarya has a vertical barrier to its plane, there must also be a subterranean one as well. The ground of Felarya is layered and structured similar to a normal planet’s. But if you were to dig down deep enough (many miles) you would pass through the subterranean rift. You would then appear several miles under the ground of a random planet in the universe. If you kept looking straight ahead, you would just seem to be digging like normal, but once you pass the rift, looking back would only reveal a wall of dirt. Felarya would be gone and you couldn’t go back. This scenario is highly unlikely though, since it would be nearly impossible for any living creature, or machine to dig that deep.

This is a question I think gt500x is going to like. What is a Harpy's digestive sytem like? Is it closer to a human, or is it closer to a bird with a gizzard to crush the food down so the stomach proper can break it down, or however the gizzard works?

I can see why they would have gizzards being an avian species but I don't see why they would need a gizzard, especially since nearly every other giant predator swallows food whole without needing the aid of a gland like that.

ah thank you, but that means that limit of going down is "more" than going up. The limit going up is 30,000 ft if i remember correctly but if what your saying is that one can ( if they had the means too) go seven miles down before they leave felarya?

Question for Karbo regarding his upcoming vore comic: Are you going to post the lineart before you do colors?

I'm practically twitching with anticipation for it.
