General Q and A

Just trying to get some kind of baseline as how fast injuries heal on Felarya thanks to the soil. According to the wiki, it may take a few days or even weeks to make a full recovery, depending how bad the injury is. Now, would it be plausible to say, assuming the person is stable and not immediately dying, that light injuries, such lacerations, take a few minutes to fully heal; moderate injuries, such as those sustained in an arena fight, take a few hours to fully heal; serious injuries, such as a broken limb, take a few days to fully heal; critical injuries, such as those needing hospitalization, take a few weeks to heal? I probably wasn't accurate with the example wounds, but hopefully you get the idea.

Ehh, that's too quick. Felaryans aren't wolverine. I always used the example that broken bones take weeks instead of months to heal. Most cuts probably take a day or two (which is still damn fast).

Basically, I just think its important that injuries still have an impact. Like, if you cut your leg, you can't just go "There we go, already healed"...rather, you'd still be hurt, and while it may only take a couple days to heal up, you're still going t have to tend it and probably have a bit of a limp until its healed.

These are just my opinions though. I always saw the healing factor as a very passive thing. Like, something you wouldn't even notice unless you were familiar with medicine and how the body normally heals.

you kidding? I scab by the next day without being in felarya.

Though yeah, its probably something unnoticeable, at least with minor injuries.

This is just nitpicky, but I'm pretty sure Wolverine heals much faster than that.

wolverine actually heals near instantly. I cant find the vid because there's too many - but he basically has real-time healing.

That's dependent on who did the writing for Wolverine.

I belive that injuries like a paper cut or anything equal to pricking yourself with a sowing needle would proably take anywhere from a few minuets to, at very most, half an hour to heal. Now something like a broken bone I would place at anywhere from a week up to, at the very most, a month to heal. Well thats my two cent.

CAN FELARYA CURE CANCER!?!?!?!?

YES!

Hmm, odd. I though that Felarya's healing effect did not cure cancer due to cancer being a problem with a cell(s) DNA. Wasn't there a thread that discussed about this?

I'm not sure, but I think the above posts by Krisexy and Stabs are what is known as a 'joke.'

What AJ said. Getting into DNA and auto-immune diseases really is just reading into the healing factor too much. You can't get sick, and your injuries heal faster. No need to over complicate that.

Something has been on my mind lately, is it true that if given the right amount of team work, that an idea for a location could become canon? (meaning added to the wiki)

ehm...

in the end of the line, it's Karbo's decision. It may be the best idea of the world, if Karbo doesnt think it fits the world, just too bad you can still use it in your stories as a non-canon thing.

As far as I know, no. Anyway, what do you mean with 'team work'? Just feedback from other people to further develop and improve the original idea?

Anyway, as Kri says, it's Karbo's decision in the end, some ideas didn't need to go through teamwork or improving the original idea and they're canon now. But still, making things canon shouldn't be your main worry, it's better to just look for your ideas to fit the setting, even if they aren't canon, and use them in your stories and drawings.

Yeah that's the way to go. I was palnning to post a Mega-Bio that held ideas only cannon to my RPs/art. Not sure if it's right to post it here though. Oh also hey Kri! Long time no see. ^_-

I've been thinking, the soil enhances a person's natural healing process, and it's a fair guess to say that the water does as well. What if you are on a fishing boat in the Topazial Sea, would effects that boost a person's healing affect them there too?

The way I understand it, the water and soil's magic 'radiates' from it; eg. you don't actually have to be touching the soil/water to benefit from its healing magic.
However, the closer you get to the soil/water to more of an effect it has, so someone living in a tall tower in Negav would still not age, but they would heal slower than someone lying in the mud out in the forest.
Also, I believe water only gets its healing properties from coming in contact with the soil, along with the trees and various plant life, so being in contact/proximity to them instead of the soil would also have less of an effect.
Just the way I understand it, someone correct me if I'm wrong...

The water in Felarya is magical as well, as flowing rivers dissolve a lot of minerals from their beds, which means that their waters contain a significant amount of magical soil. Thus the water possesses a similar, though weaker, healing effect. An interesting implication is that it means humanoids drinking water in Felarya become, in a sense, magical as well. That's because of the fact that the human body is mostly made of water, so if you drink some magical water then some of the water you are made of is now magical water. Moreover, the human body incorporates minerals from the food and water consumed into bones and teeth. Because of this, people who have lived on Felarya for any length of time start getting magical elements incorporated into their bones and teeth; the longer they live, the more magical they become. Some of the longest living humanoid beings in Felarya have bones that are totally made of magical elements. The consequences of this are unknown, but it's safe to assume it makes such creatures more magically potent. A common theory is that the Sagolians became a society of magic users because they lived for a long time on the banks of the Shard river and Jadong lake, which are both heavily magical.

Short answer, yes. Water works better when in contact with you though, from the inside out, whereas the soil appears to work without you needing to ingest it for full effect.

I've been wondering for sometime now, does the inside of stomachs of Felaryans *or people/animals/plants living in Felarya in general* smell very awful, I'd imagine it would only because I know for a fact they do in real life, but due to Felaryas nature and what not I was wondering if for a fact stomachs gave off any kind of odor. Because I'd think along with the feeling of melting/sufficating in someplace wet and dark there'd be a terrible smell, which is the last thing you smell before you die.

As compensation for horrible death, the stomachs of Felaryans smell of spring mountain flowers.

But those spring mountain flowers are trying to eat you.

Most likely, yes, it'd smell like stomach. Fresh stomach smells like chlorhydric acid in low concentrations and a lot of organic components, then it gets worse. I'm not sure you'd suffocate before your nose's saturated with the scent, either! Peristaltic movements means any slurry is being rubbed up and down the unfortunate prey's body, too. But depending on the predator's diet, there might be something for the smell in their belly. Like spring mountain flowers.

I don't think any predator has a stomach that smells good, except scent lure carnivore plants, or maybe dryads. Their stomach could smell of pine, cedar or eucalyptus for all we know. Magic-based creatures such as genies or magic elementals might have tummies that defy all logic too, but that's flour of another grain.

Thanks for letting me know, just needed some information, because I plan on having a character with acute sense of smell, ending up in a stomach and then escaping *details for those who read my story when it comes out* but while in the stomach I pictured he'd describe the terrible/horrible/nasty smell of a fish stomach. Just saying...

I would like to know if it is possible to use the dimensional gate of ur sagol in order to travel to the following place:

Dimensional Gate south of negav
and / or
Dimensional Gate in Hell (The one with menyssan and other succubi)



Also:
Is the dimensional gate of ur sagol being overwatched by anyone exept for that tower that keeps off giant preds or is it more or less forsaken unless someone wants to use it?

The first one, yes, without a doubt. The second one, possibly. Though why you would want to go to Menyssan is beyond me. As far as I know, the gate is completely forsaken, save for that one tower, mostly because no one knows how exactly it works, being so powerful and all.

Thankies ^.^


another question: How reliable are these gates? Do they function as intended or is it possible that you come out somewhere where you didnt want to go?
