General Q and A

The buildings in Negav look to be, from pictures of them, advanced stoneworking.

You can have stone builds and then cover them with plaster or mortar to give them a smooth finish.

On the wiki, it says that humanoid beings have their bones and teeth slowly replaced by magical elements due to the water they drink and the food they eat. As this process would likely affect skin, flesh, and other body parts as well, what eventually becomes of these humanoids when they are completely "converted"?

I personally see it as bad wording. It's more like the people's body either becomes more sensitive to magic, which would explain all the spellcasters, the body becomes stronger thanks to magic reinforcing their bones and all, or both.

I agree with Sean there.

Are there any gorges in Felarya? I don't mean cliff faces or canyons, I mean actual gorges...

Though to be more specific for those who want it, I mean gorges that are listed and described on the wiki and stuff.

Well, technically, gorge is just another word for canyon, coming from the French word for "throat." The terms can be used interchangeably, I believe.

So yes, there are canyons on Felarya, but none that I know are referred to by the name gorge. There is the yet to be totally defined canyon between the Elifga Valley and the Direwind Hills, for example.

Yeah I had the suspicion that might be one, but I wasn't sure. Is that the only place?

Alright i have a question:

were tomthumbs there since the beginning of felarya of have they arrived after? by "beginning of felarya" i mean like, the beginning of the world itself, not in karbo's head

also, same thing for neeras...

thank you

Ahh, considering that, as far as I know, the beginnings of Felarya have yet to truly be explained, I would imagine that's an impossible question to answer. Is anything native to Felarya? Is anything unique to Felarya? Who knows?

I doubt anything is really native to Felarya. There are however things that may have come to Felarya and then changed or evolved to survive.

What Zion and AJ said.

Also, if the beasts of the past in the Akaptor Desert are any indication, ancient Felarya was even more dangerous and hostile than it is today, and populated by godzilla-sized monstrosities. It could be possible that humans, and the sentient hybrids are a relatively recent thing in Felarya's timeline, much like how humans are a pretty recent thing on Earth.

questions about things that may happen when felarya connect to a world or relam in certian situations and i will list them as such
* when a natural distater is occurring such as a tornado, hurricane, super volcanic eruption, or astriod impact ect....? would any of those get through?
* during a man made disater such as, nuclear war, nuclear plant meltdowm, invasion of zombies, or the rise of the machines, would any of those get through?
* war like the civel war or wwI, say if two oppsing armies determind to kill each other were transported into felarya, would the gaurdinans either wipe both armies out or would they like the romans watch the blood bath unfold if it would please the insect gaurdian?
and please dont quote the wiki, I would like to here personal opinions and not a generic one.

Just like how Felarya doesn't connect to black holes, It's not going to connect to a world covered in lava/nuclear explosions/etc.
A tornado wouldn't be able to get through anyway.

As for opposing armies. They're probably going to keep fighting them realise they they aren't home anymore. At which point they must start conserving ammo and everything.

whbiile that really wasnt what i was asking but that may work too, i was asking if the guardians would destory both armies because they were their or would the watch them destory each other * especaly if it involed battles planet side by a invading army and the defends of the planet , somethning akin to the chronicles of riddick*

Felarya only connects to other worlds in 3 different ways. Vanishing lands, where a chunk of another world is temporarily transported to Felarya before bouncing back some time later... Snap-portals, which are violent, random portals that only last a fraction of a second and drag in whatever is around it... and the more traditional, stable, dimensional portals. The last one is actually the rarest, I believe.

Considering the odds of a random dimensional portal, opening up on a random world, at the exact moment of an asteroid impact or other natural disaster is near-infinately small, I think it is largely a non-issue.

Stable portal:
It is probably possible that a little bit of the energy would bleed through. Maybe a jet of fire, or some volcanic ash, or some wind/rain...but considering that most portals aren't that big, the overall effect would be tiny. Probably just a "What the heck was that all about?" moment for anyone who happens to be within ear-shot or visual range.

Vanishing land:
A vanishing land just isn't going to grab up a whole volcano. They aren't that big.

Quote :

These actually could potentialy get in through a couple different ways.

Vanishing land/Stable portal:
Let's say a melted down reactor, or a chunk of irradiated land comes through. Its going to leak some radiation while its around, but the vanishing land will bounce back to its home and be gone. I guess radiation could, in theory, leak through a stable portal as well, but those are small and temporary. Once the vanishing land goes home, or the portal closes, the radiation will fade and anyone who got exposed will probably just get healed up by the healing factor. Once again...the chances of a vanishling land grabbing a melting down reactor, or a chunk of irradiated post-nuclear war land is insanely tiny to the point of being a non-issue.

With the zombies (which probably don't exist anyway), the healing factor, or the ineffectiveness of necromancy would make it impossible for the virus/curse to spread. The zombies would probably get mopped up quick by local wildlife or carnivorous plants.

As for machines...once again, the chance of a vanishing land grabbing a chunk of land with killer robots is tiny. If they wander off the vanishing land and into the jungle, the lack of maintenence and the harsh things jungles do to metal and electronics would probably render them useless relatively quick. If the local wildlife doesn't get them first.

No General is going to march his army through some wierd dimensional portal, so a vanishing land seems like the only reasonable situation.

Vanishing land:
I would imagine getting transported to an alien world would be a more pressing issue than whatever they were fighting over. In all likelyhood, both armies would take a break from fighting, hole up behind their own frontlines, and just try to figure out what is going on. If they kept fighting, it would still be on the vanishing land, which is going to revert back to its original location after enough time has past, taking the armies with it.

It would just be some infantry and maybe a couple armored vehicles. Artillery would be miles away, and aircraft would be way too high to get caught. Their overall impact on the world would be negligible.

Also, the Guardians wouldn't even notice. They only care about forces that threaten the world as a whole, not every single human or pred out there with a weapon.

ok last possablity
is it possable that a random portal were to open up drag in, say two people at the exactmoment of a Nuclear detnation and the people drag in were close to the epicenter, would the portal in theory drag part of the nuclear detnation with it?
( if you get who im refernceing to you win a cookie)

Yes, it technically is.
As seen here:
Whiplash connections : These types of connections are a good deal less common than stable ones. A whiplash connection is a sudden, violent connection between Felarya and another point in space or dimension. These can be thought of as the inter-dimensional equivalent of a rip-tide. When they appear, anything within a certain proximity (some are bigger or smaller than others) gets sucked in as that point in space violently shifts. Their near-instantaneous nature also means that the exit usually closes behind you. Basically, the ultimate case of being in the wrong place in the wrong time.

A whiplash portal could yes, grab two people before the explosion reached them.

Luke it's really obvious who that you're talking about your own characters.

AJ i meant could the portal drag part of the nuclear explosion with them?
cookie for AJ

Spoiler:

question just how tall is the Giant tree? please give me a number in meters

Spoiler:

If they actually get hit by the explosion itself, they'd be vaporized.

Whiplash portals only last for a tiny fraction of a second. A nuke could hit a couple feet away from them at the same time the portal appears, they'd be sucked into Felarya, and the portal already closed behind them, before they even felt the explosion.

No one knows exactly. Its branches are large enough for entire cities to fit on them, and it has its own ecosystem within its branches and foliage. Honestly, it'd probably be much more accurate to measure it in kilometers.

In all likelyhood, it is the single largest, and oldest, living thing in the known universe.

so way more then 5km than then hun

question, if the healing factor cannit do a thing to parasites, then what kinds of parasites are there? is there any unquie to Felarya?

It isn't so much that it doesn't work for parasites (it would lessen effects somewhat), its that parasites tend to have fairly quick-acting, sometimes dramatic effects.

I would imagine there are a great variety. Usual external parasites like ticks, leeches and other similar creatures are probably still around. With the healing factor taking disease out of the question, these would just be limited to causing discomfort and pain.

As for internal parasites, they haven't really been explored or documented much. Those are the ones that are actually capable of making you sick. It would depend on the parasite of course, even on Earth, some internal parasites are much more subtle than others. In all likelyhood, the weaker internal parasites probably get their effects dampened to the point of being a non-issue, and be taken care of by the body's own processes for handling them.

It is the more exotic, and dangerous parasites that would actually be able to overwhelm the healing factor and produce negative effects on the host. In other words, while parasites ARE one of the things that is actually able to cause sickness, cases of it happening are still pretty rare.

There are Leviathan Gutlords, Hecaticks, Cyaneka Worms, Goro-Goro larvae, Dryad Gut Worm, etc...

Now for a question of mine: How come Harpies, Mermaids, Nagas, etc... that are known to have hatched from eggs still have belly buttons? Belly buttons are the result of umbilical cords which only occur in live births.
