Felarya: From a Prey's Eye View

CHECK-Mate.

well humans generally fall into two basic categories... the optimists and the pessimists. now what happens to these too groups is that a base idea is being challenged ... that they are people. so the optimists would hold that they are people, and strive to overcome the adversity, invest in the group and such. the pessimist would buy into the less than person approach and care less about his fellow humans. this is how you get hero and villain types. its about there outlook not only on themselves but on other humans. its easy for a pessimist to agree with a negative statement and use it elsewhere.

that's a very basic cut that you find in most people, and you can use this to build on when constructing a character to write about. history and personality can be greatly affected by this base principal. you can have heroic pessimists and villainous optimists though....

Nah: Humans fall into two basic groups... those inside a Naga, and those outside. Arguably the ones outside are better off.

Ah HA! what an excellent way to emphasis a pessimist view of the Felaryan dynamic XD

Or are they?

Well I suppose the ones inside aren't in danger of being eaten... unless the predator gets eaten in turn.

nagas can most certainly be eaten young, Considering the danger I'm sure many of them end up in bellies of other races like harpies and dridders.

I guess it's true that, in Felarya, EVERYTHING becomes prey at one point or another. No exceptions.

Even 100 foot nagas should beware.

Only when facing Tono's
