General Q and A

If Felarya is a "dimensional plane" and not a planet, how come it gets colder as you go north? I thought Felarya didn't have an equator.

a mermaid could probably stay out of water for an unlimited amount of time as long as they don't dry

As for the cold north.... it's pure coincidence ^^;
I know Imoreith tundra and iceclad sea are situated to the north but it's due to me inconsciously placing them here.

Yappari, I felt there some was confusion about Felarya. I thought Felarya was a plane, but some believe it to be a planet. The question came up in regards to time and the seasons.

I suggested, since Felarya was not a planet... wait, I'll find my exact thoughts.

How about we have a living embodiment, similar to Elementals? I'm not well versed in Felarya yet. I've still got much to study. But it seems to me that a Guardian of Time is reasonable. This Guardian would oversee the passage of night, day, and the four seasons...

In addition, since time and space are definately intertwined...The Guardian also serves as an anchor that keeps Felarya from slipping out of the delicate balance of spacetime that it hangs in. Obviously, Felarya lies in a very volatile niche in the multiverse which makes the Guardian's task extraordinarily demanding.Just a thought.

Ok, that was my opinion based on Felarya NOT being a planet. I've been told different. So is it, or not?

Edit: Ok, it is a plane. So how is there night and day?

Edit 2: Maybe Felarya is like a giant snow globe and the world ends at the ionosphere. The actual sky (being the sun, moon, and stars) could be from another world. Sort of like looking up through a glass dome with another world on the other side.

Note here guys; We've had a huge discussion on seasons.
Don't try to answer this here. We have our science people working this out.

But yeah, Felarya is a plane. There are no real seasons, only regional differences.

Or dimensional disturbances with Bael's idea of Pocket Dimensional Storms, which is why I love this idea: with an idea like this, the sky's the limit for coming with plot devices!

Has anyone figured out how mail/messages/etc gets around felarya? I was asking this because a while back I had an idea for a more friendly giant/ess with a pair of wings running mail from town to city to wherever else. I slightly recall being told that mail was sent out another way. Of course though I honestly doubt it's by specific routes, because preds would obviously prove to be a problem.

btw, just in case this hasn't really been figured out. The mailman idea was my idea. Don't steal it I'm working on it still.

An underground network of tunnels would get the job done.

My view: The Postfairy! The TRUE hero of the Felaryan people!

It doesn't there is no conventional public mail service. Nor will there be.

That's just as dangerous as above ground.

Lol, God bless Felarya.

I... actually put a postman in one of my stories, but it was just an extra.

I mentioned something of a post office once in a story, but it was a little mention and knowing how Felarya it is, do you think it will ever prosper? Mailing will be ruined in no time!

that's why I had been working on a mail system, Considering the risks of land travel, that's why I also have been putting together a character that could fit the bill. Originally back in the day it was going to be a male creature Identical to a harpy, but everyone shot him down before I finished him, so that obviously won't work. which seems to happen a hell of a lot here. if it doesn't have breasts it must be destroyed... lol

So I came to a thought of a possible "AngelAir" mail service. We've got the girls for the job, and I had been working out how it would work. Looks like we're going to need some stamps made xD

I'm actually working on something that will fill the postal role as well as a few other things.
I've practically finished it, just need to polish it a bit then I'll post the idea.

....sure you were...

...I'll just go away now...

Maybe it wasn't the fact he was a male, maybe it just wasn't a good idea. Stuff happens. Go back to the drawing board.

Trust me, I know alot about bad ideas
(^-^)v

Getting offtopic here. If you want to continue that discussion, please take it to pms or something else.
Next question please.

Do Nekos have little stamina like great cats and usually save it by hiding instead of running, and ambushing preys with a strong pounce out of a hiding spot.

This is what I imagine and hope to be true.
I proposed it in the Elves vs Nekos thread and I didn't receive a straight answer.

Who or what has the power to turn a man into a giant? (Besides a Guardian). I'm a little stuck here in my story development.

depends how giant, a fairy can change the size of someone, but not anywhere past 15 ft probably.

the dimensional pocket storms might be able to if said person gets lucky, or unlucky rather.

past that...any insanely, ridiculously enhanced rune of some kind? I'm not exactly sure myself, honestly I've just accepted the idea that only fairies and guardians have that ability.

Still, fairies can't make it permanent, or that's what I think, as I've read the wiki and it somehow states that the sizeshifting magic in other beings will finally wear off, so you can be a giant for some hours or even days, but not forever... unless, of course, something make the change permanent - but knowing how the sizeshifting magic works for fairies, the new size is supposed to be the new actual size, right?

Also about Nekos, do they give birth in litters like cats?

Yeah, Fairy magic is a temporary thing. It requires the fairy to be close by to keep it going. If you somehow escaped a fairy while tiny, and she just gave up and went away, you'd return to your normal size after a few minutes. I think it is different for inanimate objects though, judging by Crisis' beltpouch and Anna's clothes. It probably has to do with magical fields. All living things have a magical field that probably interferes with and weakens the spell over time. Inanimate objects would have no field, so size-changes could be permanent.

As for making someone giant, yeah, I don't think they could. I imagine the only thing they can grow to giant sizes is themselves.

Probably for the best that it can't happen though. Just like shrinking preds to human size, growing a human to pred size seems like something that could be abused.

I like their magic being limited... and when I referred giant, I didn't mean what others think - 50 feet and beyond - but maybe twice a normal human's size. Taking in account fairies' limitations for shrinking and growing other things, we can rest assure that no one will abuse of their magic, or else it would place fairies as 'game breakers'. And we wouldn't like that to happen, right? Fairies have already given us a lot of headaches while balancing them to see them overpowered again.

We could assume they aren't just humanoids with feline features, but actual felines that evolved until they had their current humanoid forms. Then, it wouldn't be a surprise if they gave birth in litters. But there might be some subspecies that are a bit more human than feline and they give birth to one or just two babies at once. Can't be sure, thought, I'm no neko expert.
