>>105877058As you wish. Changing the post-lore blurb though. Still not anchoring it, as it's meant for the Historic Events and Developments hub.__________As the Nameless One's domain was civilization itself, there was a widespread belief across the Owl Republic that traces of Her influence could be found not only in /who/ but within all cultures and civilizations of the world. It was with this belief in mind that Parliament established the order of the Maybe Everywhere Scribes, a title that saw multiple abbreviations over the years until it was simply called the M.E.S.M.E.S. agents, as they came to be known, traveled to foreign nations with their initial and primary objectives were to look through theological records of the nations they visited in search for mentions of the Nameless One as well as to catalog the general nature of their infrastructure and infrastructure. They would be stationed in their assigned foreign countries for a year on average, and the first few agents worked out of pocket, often working local jobs to make ends meet.After returning to the Owl Republic, M.E.S. agents released their findings to Parliament, though they often gave minor teaser-esque anecdotes to their families ahead of time. At the beginning of the year, all reports were compiled into a summary that were distributed to the various temples across the republic which then relayed these reports to the greater populace.There was never only one M.W.S. agent assigned to a given nation. Rather, each nation that had the M.E.S.'s interest was assigned the calculated minimum number of agents to maintain a constant international presence in a cycle of "travel to foreign nation, stay in foreign nation for one year, travel to /who/, stay in /who/ for minimum of one year".Though not initially having their diplomatic authority, M.E.S. agents were often seen to be ambassadors, as their actions and behavior were seen by Hoomans back at home as reflective of /who/ as a whole. This was remedied not too long after the order was established to properly align the duties with the public's perception of them. The issue of their pay was also remedied to some extent, exempting M.E.S. agents from /who/ ship travel fees and providing them a stipend to ostensibly help sustain them financially during their time abroad. As the M.E.S. grew in perceived importance, so too did the standards by which a Hooman could be considered fit to serve as an agent. Initially allowing volunteers, it eventually came to be that only the best of the best mentally should be allowed to join. As one of the perceived prerequisites was a deep understanding of the Nameless One's role in the greater Holo Pantheon, /who/ temples became training grounds of sorts. Indeed, most M.E.S. agents deemed too old to go abroad (sometimes referred to as "sore in the foot") spent the rest of their professional years at the temples training prospective recruits and otherwise serving as archivists or other advisory roles to the Morbs.When news came of the Nameless One's impending apothnitosis, the duties of the M.E.S. faced a great change: agents not en route to or active in a foreign nation, as well as all agents in training, were given the responsibility of trawling through the archives and determining which were worth being catalogued in the Republic's final years. (more on that in a different loredump)After Her apothnitosis, the M.E.S. largely ceased to be. Though a select few still volunteered to travel to the remaining Promise nations, the lack of centralized funding for the practice combined with the belief that the Nameless One no longer had any meaningful influence on the greater Holo Pantheon led to this practice dwindling sharply in the early years of /who/'s third age.Therefore, the former M.E.S. agents' focus turned inward and they took advantage of their ambassadorial reputation to serve such a role on an intranational level to keep the now disparate and disconnected towns of /who/ together. Thus, the M.E.S. became the first batch of what would be known as the Aves (or Skols, for those living near the Strait of Scotos).__________Even though I abandoned the plan to draw an image for this, I did save the incomplete (never to be finished) draft if the rest of the thread wants to see it. As a heads up, it's basically picrel but a SOVLful and partly colored femhooman whose sleeves I forgot to add until it was too late.Debating whether it would make more sense for a Taranchama-themed spider to have a symbiotic or parasitic relationship with pigs. May approach Haachama World for their input after I've cleared up my backlog somewhat.Speaking of, up next from me will likely be another Letter, followed by either terrestrial specbio, a return to fleshing out "Concerning Hoomans", or a chronicle of growing tolerance regarding discussion of the Pink Angel.

what the world doing
>>105891985floof
Doob morning. Have to think of a special for today.
>>105887207so M.E.S. are kind of like a government employed hermit?
>>105896527I don't know if there's a word for their initial purpose, but the M.E.S. were initially mythology tourists before they gradually became semi-ambassadors. They were meant to document information about foreign cultures and mythos to see if/how the Nameless One influenced or otherwise was connected to them.On another note, when checking dictionary.com to see if any of the possible definitions of hermit apply to what they do, I found this:>a spiced molasses cookie often containing raisins or nuts.Not relevant, just thought I'd share it.
I have a few more hours of wageslaving to do.
>>105897592Dark or black molasses might actually help with insulin resistance and diabetes if taken correctly.
>>105900025how does that work
I'm still researching dark molasses.
>>105901549ginger bread cookies
Am I back?
>>105902900no but you're black
>>105904453Must be from the charcoal.
Tonight's special is meat tips, mushrooms, and onions in gravy over rice. I had a chaotic week.
Good news the volcano-bore is coming together. Bad news is we need a portable power source that isn't lava. Coal or oil should work.
>>105876116omg we live
>>105915211huh what you mean
>>105924261The thread sank about two times in the last two days.
>>105925793yeah not sure what happened yesterday at least
It's bedtime but I'll bite the seasonal crop question. Loreli has a dry season and wet season. We wouldn't have as many seasonal crops as we do fish. Cold rains bring more fish to the region. The rains are also good for coconuts and palm trees. We do plant more water intensive crops in wet season. Dry season is more for irrigation crops that don't need as much water. And shellfish are more abundant in dry season as they breed just before the cooler storms.
doing a little bit of research on colder climates for reasons but I will sleep for now
darkness strong

not so fast world
Oh hi, archivistsIt's been over a month since I've arrived at the new city-to-be with the Ave, and I have yet to receive an omen of the Nameless One or the Pink One. To be frank, if it wasn't for the unusual developments documented in the report of the previous Hoosmoot, I wouldn't believe that the Pink One could bestow us with signs of her presence.The non-Shochol Hoomans are certainly of a different mind, though. It seems as if half the time I attempt to engage in conversation with somehoot the first thing I'm asked is if there is any news of the Pink One. What I find worrying about them is that they never seem to speak of the Nameless One in isolation. People still attend the retelling performances of Her, but that seems to be the only time when they exhibit reverence solely to the Nameless One. Any other time She is mentioned, it is done for the purpose of comparing the Pink One to Her!Aside from that, though, the Hoomans here other than ______ and myself so far have been welcoming and of a communal spirit. Hoomans from Stenopelia and other fishing villages sharing their hauls with us, and a group who is here from Eulvale not only allowed ______ and I to use different tents at his request but also brought in an Owlbear they hunted to share with all of us a couple weeks ago! It did take some time to get used to the taste of fish, but I imagine those Eulvale hoots wouldn't have the energy to build those long thin pillars solely from foraging!There have also been some who arrived after us. A group from Satowlno came not too long ago to build a stable. I talked with them about their plans. The plan on their end is to return to Satowlno after finishing the stable and returning with a half dozen pegasi and several bales of hay, with further trips to and fro bringing more hay to feed them. After asking for permission they did say we could house our pegasus in the stable when it's done.The timing of this was certainly ironic, as they came only a couple days after ______ sent his letter off. I didn't ask him who the addressee was or what he wrote about, but I will say he chose a lovely place for the temple. It's close enough to the Strait that people watching a C-tube performances would have a view of it, but far enough away for it to not be the focal point of such a view. If the demarcations are as I imagine, the eventual temple will prove to be a great deal larger than ours back home.Besides relaying developments to you, there is another reason why I'm sending this letter: my memory of the Nameless One's tales is lacking compared to that of the senior Morb back home. If practicable, could you duplicate a few of Her parables and send the duplicates with you in your response? I would be greatly appreciative.In the meantime, I will attempt to steer discussions with hoots from the other locations in the direction of the Nameless One and try to work what they say about Her into my services. Who knows, maybe they'll jog my memory. I suppose if there's anything unusual about how they pay tribute to the Nameless One, like holding a retelling on a boat or communally taking off their feathers and hooing in unison, I'll get back in touch with you!Regardless, I'm looking forward to you and the rest of Shochol to move here when the harvest is completed. In the meantime, I'll be waiting.Waiting_______, Morb
Hate having a writer's block again.
>>105949768Carve it into a sphere or some other shape
>>105949768Where are you trying to go, and what's sticking you where you are? Nothing wrong with sharing with the class if it's not something meant to be a big development or twist of some kind.
>>105952396I need a portable power source to fuel the volcano-bore. I'll take coal, oil, or even magic batteries.
>>105952604are there any nations that specialize in magic?
>>105954575/morig/ does a lot of magic, but we specialize in cold things, not hot things... Maybe it'd help to cool down the lava a bit?also damn I gotta catch up on some actual lore.
If only there was a way to store the library's power portably.
>>105959702perhaps making some kind of vessel to absorb magic?
>>105961567That's a start maybe?
harness magic and make magic bombs
>>105964119Dynamite is more practical.
>>105964239yeah but where is the fun in thatexcess magic could be dangerous if not used
Maybe it's possible to channel hot and cold energy to create a revolution device that spins. Heat rises, cold falls.
joshus at Watson industries will conduct experiments on magic until further notice
So I have an idea. I was thinking about using the library's energy to power the volcano-bore. Catch is we need a way to connect the line safely, which is not possible at this time. I'm thinking about how to transfer magic power into a medium that can be used as a portable boiler. Then it hit me: Airship engines. If airships are powered by magic power of some kind then we already have a solution. I feel like a retard.
