Thank you for the response. Would the local clans still use the term "tiris" for those they recognize as warriors while the federal government would call them civilians, or would the federal government have a different term for them? Is there a term for becoming a warrior? Or for a warrior proving t...

Have any loroi societies not had their warriors go through a diral band process? Or have a tradition of promoting civilians to warrior for acts of heroism?

Been busy so I haven't read the intermission yet. I do wonder if the Historians would be as hostile to the Loroi in this case or would be more worried about Humanity. It might just be the loroi used to thinking that the Historians are underhanded against the Loroi though. I feel like Stillstorm ment...

Are there any famous/legendary loroi who were noted for having only normal psychic abilities? How important are psychic abilities for advancement?

Do the different castes have stereotypes about their behavior?

Ihave checked this part, "guess" was a bit off, I guess? But "seems" is used in spoken Trade, not sanzai, therefore I went with the second version. To me, it read as Stillstorm being flippant about the duties she has from the bet. At the risk of discussing interpretations of Stillstorm's character,...

I enjoyed learning about the relationship between Stillstorm and Truesword and how it related to Emberwing. Not really an issue, but I'm a bit surprised that Beryl was skilled enough for a direct sending. I wonder where they are going to go with the idea of dreams lowering the Human lotai? It seems ...

Sorry for the delay. I liked it - though I wonder how quickly the messages from the commander will get relayed. Maybe at some point I'll remember when there will be intermissions :) I've enjoyed the different parts, though the comfortable banter between the loroi on Emberwing's ship has an (understa...

Thank you for sharing the commission!

I won't lie, just seeing the hair with nothing else freaked me out for a second

Wow, Alex did not notice Emberwing freaking out? Or is he just hiding it... yeah, I can see why the Loroi have issues with the human lotai - especially with Zarjow commenting about dreams right after. Though it would be humorous if he started creating the sword in response to picking up dreams from ...

All other Union members are civilians under Loroi law, either voluntary, or as the result of subjugation, like the Delrias. The Mannadi, however, violated those rules, which led to an extraordinary reaction. Since Arioch stated that the massacre was not actually planned, it may have been the case o...

The unification meant that the existing system became bigger, Loroi being subordinate to other Loroi wasn't much of a novelty. But here, will the humans get their own caste, like the Perrein's Mizol or Taben's Tenoin? I don't think so. Anyway, do the humans even have a warrior/civilian structure si...

It's the part where Caitlyn is revealed to be not only an intruder in the dream, but some eldritch monstrosity that has a keen interest in Beryl. Since she does not remember the Leviathan dream sequence, this should make even less sense to her. Yet first, you make such a mysterious character, and t...

Wait!
It's over?????

Yes, it is over. Sorry if it is abrupt.

Wow, Greywind had a harsh childhood - I guess at least Rainlash did not blame her for Loremark's death. I liked the dream sequence and there being a lighter break between the heaviness of Loremark's death and then dealing with Ben's memory of Lagertha. I'm thinking Greywind misinterpreted some of wh...

Ah, you got me here. You see, Cyber-Todd released Skyrim for the 5th-gen VR console recently, and most of the crew played it excessively. Maybe up to a point where it continued into their dreams and spilled over to Emberwing. :o For us to believe that, there would still be glitches - unless the dre...

Integrating subplots and the details that were introduced there is also important for the rule of " Chekhov's gun ", that is, the conservation of detail . So for example, if you have a rifle hanging on the wall in a Bollywood movie, then towards the end, it needs to go off sing and dance with the r...

Alex: The Emperor is coming here?! Tempo: That is correct, Ambassador. And she is most pleased with your apparent progress. So Greywind is making an entrance. Can't wait to see what happens next. And curious about Caitlyn's future intentions. Keep it up! Sorry - I totally overlooked this comment so...

So Emberwing is concerned about how rapidly humans improve their technology? I suppose that is reasonable. I'll admit to not seeing her concern on whether or not the political systems are compatible - not for negotiation but for integrating them into the Union (which will not happen due to Human amb...

That's what I meant with "integrating into the story" in my earlier post. A lengthy build-up requires a suitably impressive conclusion, otherwise it will break up the overall immersion and storytelling with this discrepancy. If you write a plot line that's not meant to be the primal one, but it man...
