They're not really barnicle turtles. The rock turtles' shells look like spikey crag rocks to blend in with the cliffs and spires. And they have flippers but they look more like snapping turtles with claws more than fins. They have articulated digits on their front claws that help them rock climb. And the turtles can bite hard enough to strip wood. They did not attack ships until recently due to some deforestation from re-settling the island. Though lately we have learned to re-plant rock palms which have edible coconuts. So the turtles have started to nom on the excess coconuts instead of boats. The turtles themselves are good food in soups. So its better to keep them around than not. Loreli fishing boats have brass and iron hulls imported to prevent turtles from eating them.

Just some ideas.

Nice ideas. Gotta spec bio the rock palms too, I'm imagining them growing right on the rocky cliffs. They're probably a bit anemic, but maybe they can draw nutrients from the water, sorta like some mangrove trees.

>> No.71129048

>>71127228
I think the region is wet and hot enough to support some fungus. Rocky palms have a symbiotic relationship with fungi in their roots. The fungus use their juices to break down stone into nutrients. And the palms supply sugar and shade to the fungus. Eventually the fungus grows into mushrooms which are toxic to eat. But they should have some chemical use. Of course rock palms still need soil. Which the soil is made from composting leaves, grass, fruit, and animal carcases. Could be how the soil is made. Mushrooms and fungi are good at breaking down rocky soil. Quarrying the stone and importing soil to fill the quarries also help.

The petal iris airlock’s a nod to the space /vnug/ even though I never actually wrote them using that.

So ive been playing animal crossing a lot recently and doing flower shit. Apparently people cross breed actual flowers and stuff all the time and make mutated or just new plants? Is that actually how it fucking works?

>> No.71146106

>>71144928
Short answer, yes. Long answer, manually cross breeding plants to get the traits you want can take up to hundreds of generations. Meaning to get the crops we farm today it took farmers a long time experimenting with cross breeding both same species and hybrid plants to produce what they want. It's all about domesticating plants into crops. We also do it with animal breeds.

I think the thing’s that real combat manuals rightfully focus on protecting yourself from strikes since real life doesn’t have plot armor, and we’re too used to the flashy choreography of movies and anime (RIP RWBY, you were decent once) to find realistic swordplay impressive since most of us aren’t into HEMA

>>71155128
Yeah, pretty much, you really don't need flips and the "pushing each your sword at the other's without slashing while monologuing" in real combat. You can use realistic combat to enrich even the chuuni fantastic stuff though, there are some things that choreographed fights don't think about that real fights do that can add a lot to a scene. Stuff like grabbing the opponent's sword with your gauntlet can be a real "oh fuck" moment, or plate armor being more realistic and bladed weapons harmlessly glancing off of it can increase the badass factor of whoever is wearing it... Until the character thrusts at an opening in the armor like the armpit, like hitting a weak point in a video game. Very dramatic. Also emphasizing stuff like momentum, both of the body and of the weapons, can add a lot even though choreographies often ignore it.
Also, a bit of flashiness in an otherwise grounded context can be a nice way to spell out that whoever is doing the fancy moves is next level compared to everyone else.

>>71157247
When it comes to magic you have to be more tactical than typical combat. It's not because of wizard is CC. It's because magic is a very chaotic force. Being a good wizard means you can bend reality to your will exactly the way you want it. Being a great wizard is knowing how and when to create chaos as an element to your magical arts. A novice wizard recites spells he's practiced. A master wizard engineers spells into art. It's a difference between knowing the medium and understanding it. A great artist is also an engineer.

Some more Lorelei Island lore:
In the complex of buildings on the top of hill, there is a location called the Vault, buried deep under the largest building. It holds the entrance to library where all the ancient records are kept, and is the only location that scavengers and looters never managed to breach during the abandonment, due to the magical safeguards put in place.
At least I'm thinking that sounds pretty cool. I'd give it a big cool door, maybe like in a bank.

I guess the island is formed by a once active volcano that has since went extinct. Which means most of the stones and crags are basalt. Which you can get some iron out of smelting basaltic sand. Perhaps a long time ago the ancients built out a library in the caldera of the dead volcano.

The back story is merely a hypothesis. We don't know who built the library vaults, how, or why. What we can do is paleotology to guess.

That said the materials used to build the library can be used to build things we have today. Due to how hot and humid it gets buildings would be made out of rattan, palm wood, and bamboo rather than stone and clay bricks. That said stone has it's place in building hearths, forges, baths, and kitchens. We'll have a variety of stones like schist, basalt, and tuff. Tuff is like sandstone but made from volcanic ash. You can also melt volcanic ash into glass though these are purely for decoration. Most coal and wood would have to be imported but there is ferrous sands to make some iron tools. It's not enough to export iron though.

Water would have to be collected from rain. The dirt's not thick enough to store water underground. That said I think to protect the library the ancients would have built an aqueduct system to redirect rain water outside of the caldera so it wouldn't erode the library walls. Aqueduct water isn't good for drinking but it is good for bathing and irrigating subsistence rice paddies in the orchard (the rice is imported). Dodos love raw rice grains.

The orchard is not a very area. It takes up maybe a third of the island's inhabitable land. Its just enough land to grow some reeds, rice, and fruit. The trees in the intertile areas are mostly rock palms that ingrained themselves into stone for hundreds of years with help of fungi. Coconuts milk is dense with minerals though the seeds are hard as iron sometimes. Rock palms are great for making coconut oil which is used for both cooking and lamps.

Those are some crop analysis I came up with. The island is not an uninhabitable place, but it is not abundant in resources either. The most abundant resources are fish and shellfish if you can navigate the crags, rock turtles, and birds. Outside of dodos some large sea birds nest here to feed on fruits and fish. Sea hawks are great eating if you bag one.

In my opinion I think the ruins should be heavily guarded due to international interests. The caldera ridge is outfitted with walls, gatling guns, canons, spikes, and cauldrons of boiling oil. Anyone who approaches the crater without permission is arrested or shot if they resist. Once arrested tresspassers are stipped of all of their bags, weapons, and clothes before being released at port with nothing but a loin cloth and their passport before being deported back home. They aren't banned but we'll gladly take their money, clothes, and weapons again if they tresspass again.

Nice ideas, I was also thinking rain management would be critical. There's a lot of rain but most of it runs off the island into the ocean because of the impermeable bedrock under the thin soil, so if the rainfall can be harvested that's a huge help.
>>71229910
Anon has the right idea I think. For the Archivist Order, the Library is a sacred, precious place; they'd rather die than see the Library be put in danger, so access would be strictly regulated. The Order was fully destroyed previously, but the Archive was kept safe somehow, so that must be their highest priority.

I think it'd be important in /morig/, skeletons are known for jamming out, so parties are commonplace in private and public venues. Also, the night and the moon are laden with meaning in our mythology, so there are lots of religious rituals executed during the night. Plus, nights tend to be cooler, and thus more comfortable for Deadbeats, especially those living out of the mountains in the coasts and valleys.

Can we expand on this?
We've established that the population of the island is very small and mostly transient. So it wouldn't make sense to have like a million (exaggeration) guards patrolling the walls. Does that imply that the few people that are part of The AO are extremely, I'll say "capable" (for lack of wanting to imply anything else while we're just speculating)?

>>71255501
Yeah, I agree that with the small population the order is not relying on numbers to defend itself. I think what members are in the order are as you say good at what they do, but few in numbers. But also, I think an even better protection is that what the Order guards isn't conventionally valuable, it's not gold, or magical artefacts, or a bunch of secret weapons, or a precious natural resource. They're keepers of knowledge of the past, which tends to be pretty underrated among the mighty of the world.
So there isn't a lot of incentive for powerful nations to show up on their barren rock in the ocean and try to fuck their shit up militarily. Just being irrelevant and out of the way offers a lot of protection. At most sending spies to try to infiltrate the archives and extract specific pieces of intel might be a thing that is done.

They have human foot-like feet similar to Kiwis but I'm thinking the toes have long digits to grab on stones. And the dodo's bill is a pretty dangerous weapon. The bill has a hook sturdy enough to pull up on rocks. But the bills are also strong enough to husk coconuts. The birds have to figure out how to crack coconuts on pointed stones. The beaks are also strong enough to break seeds and some crab shells. Their diet is mostly nuts and fruit but they do eat insects and some crustaceans. The crustaceans are ground up in the gizzard thanks to the stones they swallow.

I'm guessing that Swarm episode is one of the good/interesting ones?

Whether is good or not is up to you, but I would say its at the very least interesting, and its less than 20 minutes long

Just some bump commentary. I think animals should be good at adapting to the climate they have. Usually it's sudden changes from climate, natural or man-made, that drive animals to extinction. Still the survivors learn to adapt their behaviors in the new environment the best they can. And the survivors pass on their behaviors. If /nasa/ survived a hundred years on old Vitubia I bet they would make friends with some rescued mammoth heards. The mammoths would fertilize the soil with their dung during fallow years.
