Fagr Ey

Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	Oh, Awesome!
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	aka sky crier
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	Lani'hea
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	Oh, one more thing. As far as Tribes go, what would the name of the Kahu's largest be?
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	Haha, I think mashing it together would make it easier on the mods.
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	I agree. Now to mash it together. Or just copy/paste for the mods.
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	Well, I think that covers everything about both races and the island.
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	So, multilingual. That works.
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	Birds = natural linguist
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	Kahu (which is like Hawaiian for reference), Germanic from the Lycans, and then Common. But they are quick to learn other languages when they meet new people.
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	Oh! Language! Do they speak the same language or do the Kahu use the common tongue? The Lycanoids uses a Germanic perversion of Norse.
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	She totally got lost at one point, she also didn't know where she was going perse.
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	Probably not long after she left, I mean the trek from Fagr Ey to Tidehaven would take a month or two.
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	Then we could say after. Like he left in search of her.
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	Probably a few months.
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	I think she went alone. She gets an idea in her head, and then takes off without considering consequence.
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	Not really sure though, don't know when she left the island.
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	Probably after. If not the same time.
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	Best friends! Lol
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	So did he leave the island before her then?
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	*nod*
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	It would be safe to say he knows her a little too well, and does his best to keep her out of trouble.
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	Then he'd know she is very classically a curious and friendly Kahu. With sticky fingers.
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	With her age, it's safe to assume Skuli knew her his whole life as well.
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	Yeah, so it's highly possible!
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	Good chance! She'll probably be.. like.. 75-100 in human years, but like.. 13/14 for Kahu.
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	Then they'd definitely know each other. Could even be possible that she knew Skuli's father too. Given the Kahu have a longer lifespan.
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	I think they do. She'd be alive long enough to know him, especially if he's a chief/high chief for the Lycanoids. She's going to be the granddaughter of the current High Chieftain for the Kahu.
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	So, should we have an understand that Skuli and Starling know each other? Or say they haven't met yet?
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	Well that would make sense. Most snakes lay eggs and so do birds.
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	That is if they survive the mating process.
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	Also since Kahu are a good blend of bird and snake, I think they do lay eggs. -dies-
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	Might even kill an Elf.
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	Yeah, I can see Elves with the Lycanoids. Humans probably, but the pregnancy would most likely kill a human female.
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	Well, that would work for the Lycanoids. With the wars they fight among themselves, there's bound to be orphans of war.
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	But both can breed with like.. humans and elves.
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	Ha, then it works out. ^-^
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	I can agree with that. I mean, It's pretty clear the diverse DNA of both species would make a inter bred child impossible.
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	Likely those who make a serious union out of it, adopt a child together.
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	Oh, Skuli is currently in Tidehaven where Cel is.
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	I think because their DNA is so diverse there wouldn't be a child produced, but romantic relationships are not prohibited (although there will always be those who find it gross or pointless).
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	Saying it's a taboo wouldn't be a bad thing, I mean keep the bloodlines pure and what not.
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	Inter species relations. It would be safe to say with the DNA differences a Hybrid would be impossible, but should it still be allowed?
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	Cel is the friend that Starling went to find.
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	Oh, that brings up something important.
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	I like that. Very beautiful.
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	Haha, leave it to Cel to find something comical.
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	Tail feather wiggling and everything.
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	Celandine suggested that Kahu do the bird habit of showing off their plumage and so forth when they're interested in someone. I about died from the image.
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	As for the Lycanoids, they'd have a Day of mourning to mourn the dead, followed by a day of celebration to celebrate the life they lived.
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	*preen*
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	Oh, that would be a lovely addition to Kahu culture.
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	A Kahu ritual prior to the burning. ;x
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	The reason I asked.. I just got that scene in my head from FFX when Yuna did the water dance to send off the spirits of those that died at the village.
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	Yeah, that makes sense.
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	Then it stands to reason the Kahu that live in the mountains, might be buried or burned depending on their belief.
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	Yes, I use to play Final Fantasy a lot in my youth..
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	With the exception of the ones that live among the Kahu. We could say adapted the Kahu's cultural beliefs on burials.
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	Are you familiar with Final Fantasy at all?
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	Then we'll leave the Crypts for the Lycanoids.
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	I think the Kahu burn their dead so that the spirit may be free.
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	Burial rites. Follow Norse culture, burying the dead in graves seems too common. Why don't we say they build crypts inside the mountains, some made for the Kahu, others for the Lycanoids?
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	Wouldn't want outsiders disturbing your prayers.
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	I can agree with that.
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	The hidden cave is more to protect the Kahu from outsiders, less the Lycanoids
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	That makes sense, I mean even though the religions are the same, they do worship differently.
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	I think there are two temples. One in the mountains built by the Lycans, and one by the Kahu in a hidden cave underground (two accesses)
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	Yeah, it's really coming together!
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	I like it. A lot.
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	It would only be natural that the Lycanoids would learn somethings from the Kahu. As for villages, their mostly huts build out of sturdy woods, stones and other essentials found in the forest regions.
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	The Kahu have a few huts on the ground and some on floating docks in the water, but their villages are usually in the trees.
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	A few learned how to hunt the island game alongside the Lycanoids, but that is still more theirs. Just like I assume some of the Lycanoids learned from the Kahu.
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	And the Lycanoids have skilled hunters, so that covers meat and furs.
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	I think the Kahu help with fruit and vegetables that grow in their area, alongside fish from the sea.
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	I think the only they missing is Architect and Agriculture.
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	So, we have a name for the island, a religion of the inhabitants, and a co-existence between them.
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	As am I!
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	-clap- Loving this.
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	Which is why Skuli himself values intelligence.
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	Exactly!
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	Exactly. And knowledge, as Odin gave his eye for it.
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	That's true too. It's similar to the Lycanoid clans as well. Skuli's Iron Wolves believe Odin respects strength in general, whether it is in battle or in diplomacy.
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	Some are more aggressive than others.
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	Might be slight differences, but then I think it also depends on the individual Kahu tribe interpretation.
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	If you wanted.
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	The Kahu could have a less bloodthirsty version.
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	Of course the Lycanoids Religion is more battle oriented.
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	Good point.
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	I guess that would depend on each culture. For example, Paganism is commonly used by Humans to explain their religion. Odinism, is basically what they call it.
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	I'll have a variant word for it to the Kahu but with a note that it's the same.
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	So.. do we call their religion.. Paganism, Odinism?
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	I agree.
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	Things always work out when you compromise.
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	I love how easy this is to get things we both want.. and at least on my end, make the history/influences even more interesting.
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	^-^
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	Yeah, I mean the Lycanoids worship the Old Norse Gods, like Odin and so forth. So having alternate names within the Kahu makes sense.
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	Like.. Odin would be Wuotan to them.
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	I think if we're doing the Norse influence, we can assume they both share similar beliefs of the gods -- just perhaps slightly different versions of the names.
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	So it's settled, we have a name.
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	Fagr Ey it is then!
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	I like.. Fagr Ey
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	word**
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	Could go with Fagr Ey or Fagr Eyland.
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	Sure, what is the world?
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	Haha, Skuli would probably let her.
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	I know right! Oh, why don't we replace Island with the Norse word for it?
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	Keep in mind, if Starling ever meets Zeex.. she'll want to eat it.
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	Silly humans.
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	Fagr Island it is!
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	I can agree with that. After all most humans hate beastkin like Lycanoids.
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	Fagr it is
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	Now then, which version do we want to use? Fagr is easier to type because I never could figure out how to do the ae thing.
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	It's just harder to get to, as the Kahu would protect from those venturing too close to the Lycanoids.
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	I think so. To be fair the mountain part is probably equally beautiful.
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	Awesome, I mean if the island has a tropical forest it's bound to be beautiful, right?
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	I am good with either.
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	Oooh.. both sound cool.
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	Or Vænn Isle, same meaning.
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	Fagr Isle (Beautiful Isle).
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	This is our brain baby.
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	No sweat.
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	Hmm, give me a second, let me look something up real quick.
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	Could. But also very open to the Odin reference. Cackling even.
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	after not over....
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	Well, I was thinking since the Kahu, are vibrantly colored saying explorers named the island over encountering them would fit. After all, the Lycanoids haven't had contact with the outside world in decades.
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	Sparkling Isle also works too, if you'd prefer that.. aside from an "obscure" Odin reference.
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	Lol, it happens.
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	Also.. sorta works with the wolves and birds.. "Odin sits atop his steed Sleipnir, his ravens Huginn and Muninn and wolves Geri and Freki nearby."
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	Stupid fade.
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	Hmn. Following the Odin idea. Could do Isle of Wōden, Wōdan, Wuotan or Wōtan (alternate versions of his name).
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	Oh! How about The Sparkling Isle?
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	Asgard Island, or Isle of Asgard. I'm just throwing out random names right now.
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	Lol
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	Asgard! Lol.
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	Isle of Odin?
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	God's Eye. Lol.
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	Still doable.
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	Well, when it was just me I was going to go with something traditional to Vikings, since the Lycanoids are based off them.
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	Any ideas?
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	We do!
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	Oooh, so fun. *bounce* Sorry, this is probably the nicer of my characters.
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	Anyway, we need a name for the island.
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	And the same could be said of the Lycanoids that migrated into the forest regions. Perhaps the Lycanoids became smaller, and adapted to have shorter fur?
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	I think the Kahu that migrated to the Lycanoid areas in the mountainous region, plumage might have altered over time to adapt to the difference in climate.
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	:)
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	I like it.
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	That is true, it's possible they co-exist now, with some Lycanoid settlements within Kahu territory and vise versa.
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	Skuli is old, even among his people, but has risen to the title of High Chieftain through battle and united several of the clans under his banner.
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	Kahu have a good memory, so they don't forget their friends or enemies easily. So there is a chance among them is a lorekeeper for the Lycanoids who holds records for their chiefs?
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	'Starling' is a preteen by the Kahu aging process, so she is still growing up.. and is undertaking a quest to save an old friend. -- D'awh. ^-^
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	Awesome! It also give Skuli something else to call them other than Kahu, and have it not meant in a derogatory way.
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	I am definitely down for collaboration to help with either's belief system.
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	Haha, sounds like their more laid back than Lycanoids. Most Lycanoids have short lifespans, though it is partly due to the constant wars. Their also not inclined to eat any animal they believe to be intelligent so the Kahu wouldn't be hunted. Though with their cultural beliefs, it could be said that in ancient times the Lycanoids believed the Kahu to be Valkyrie. Could play into the relationship between the two races.
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	The Kahu have an extended life cycle, if they do not suffer a mortal wound or something equally awful. They survive off most anything they can get their hands, but frown upon consumption of creatures considered to be of equal intelligence as murder. So aka.. wouldn't eat Skuli's kind, elves, humans, etc. They're notoriously curious and clever, have a habit of being kleptos. Generally not the result of malicious but "ooh shiny."
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	So, tell me more about the Kahu's culture. You said both have a similar social structure, but what else?
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	Skuli's clan, the Iron Wolves, are more for co-existence. So, I can see them being allies with the Kahu.
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	Yes, they do tend to fight among themselves a lot. They don't fight with others unless provoked. Though, I suppose a few of the lesser clans could pose a problem for the Kahu.
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	Are his people the sort that fight among themselves or others a lot?
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	I thought it looked like a mountain too!
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	I am, I was going to have his kind more localized in the center of the island anyway. It looks like a mountain there so that would fit with his culture some more.
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	They also have tribes/chieftains. So we are accustomed to a similar social structure.
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	The Kahu are very colorful in appearance, like tropical birds. Would you be open with the parts around the shoreline matching a tropical climate before bleeding into something you may see better fitting Skuli's kind?
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	Indeed, it will be interesting having to different species and cultures on one island.
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	As it appears, we're both humanoid speices. Wolf and bird/serpent hybrid (Kahu).
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	Yay!
Skuli Hrossketilsson	Starling	Indeed, I'm not oppose to the idea and think it would be a rather good experience for us both.
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	It was suggested that we could work together for a name and explanation.
Starling	Skuli Hrossketilsson	Hello! The mods advised me that we are both wanting to be from the island in the top right of the map.
