Discussion on the native species of Pallis.

Anyone got any ideas for indigenous species?

Thus far I've created two; a species of bird and the human-counterpart.

The human-counterpart, the dwallow, are--well, human-ish. They are taller than humans, their skin tones are shades of pale blues and purples, their eyes are large and their noses are flush with their face. They are pseudo-religion, in that they worship (in a respect sense, not a pray sense) a race which preceded them - known by names such as the Builders, Creators, Forerunners, etc - whose technology makes their survival possible. (When doodling, I played around with adding skin-horns/tails that grow from from just above their ears (similar to the Digimon, Veemon) - but I never completely convinced myself).

The bird, which I haven't named, fills an ecological niche provided by the waterfalls - building their nests beneath the waterfall mouths, and darting through the water to catch what ever poor morsel falls over the edge. The dwallow "fish" for these birds, by hanging bait over the edge and then reeling in the catch.

Dragons!

Only, four-limbed dragons - where the wings are their forearms. Harry Potter's Hungarian Horntail style, or Reign of Fire style... it's hard finding pictures 'cause "dragon" returns the six limb model.



They are borderline extinct, and live within the landcracks. They rarely hunt beyond mogrul territory, but also rarely have mogrul meat.

Dragon Riders?

nice image anyway. Is it just dragons like, dragons, or is it, dragon riders..

well Dusk Im with you on your suggested race : )

system of "alliances" or just... who I suggest where to put races on which "side".. Moles arent that friendly against humans or Dwallows.. idk "they smell..." , they dont want to be disturbed in their mines.. But they have high respect for Mogruls.

Mogrul
¤ Cynwen Moles - I just like to put them on the "dark side" as they live in darkness...

Dwallow

Scorpion race (do you call them anything dusk? )

ARGH! Bloody alliance

No one does anything, because they're 'good' or 'chaotic' or 'judgmental chaotic goodness with a hint of neutrality'.

The fight because they both want something the other one possess...

No dragon riders.

I think Moles could be neutral but still they want to belong to the Mogruls

I just saw the rider of that dragon, maybe just that you may not find a good drawn dragon without finding a rider on it .

Zectiox my race is called Scorpicore and it's totally neutral

It cannot be neutral, it is peaceloving/shy/uninterested/whatever...

They only follow their own intrests, they swear no allegiance to the dwallows nor to the mogruls

Finding four-limbed dragons is hard.

All races are neutral, as all exist for themselves. There is no alignment.

Well, all of the intelligent races. The non-intelligent races are aligned to whomever control them, should they be controlled.

Finding a good drawn dragon without a rider is hard? Are you joking. Have you heard of DeviantArt?

That was from DeviantArt...

Most dragons are typical 6-limbed or Chinese, I can't find a good keyword for the sort I mean.

Founds some.

Spoiler:

great, everyone neutral, I thought of making Mogruls the dominant - more evil kind of side - and the Dwallows the dominant - more good kind of side.

Moles lives underneath the earth, in darkness, totally. would they "belong" to mogruls or dwallows?

dragons could be both "good" or "bad" even if they are neutral, its depending on what they do.. you know

All races are neutral. Simple.

If we're assigning them Dungeons and Dragons alignments (lawful, good, neutral, evil and chaotic - I prefer the 5-tier system); then the dwallow are good, and all other current specified races are neutral. The god-like beings would be chaotic.

well some system could be a good choise

It really irrelevant though, they do not represent anyone... so why would it matter their alignment?

idk well dwallows are good, thats enough, then we have everyone else as neutral : )

Zectiox, classical alignments like good and evil are to my mind a pointless construct. Good is whoever's eyes through which you see, evil is anyone who conflicts with them.

Thats true dark

Well that's only partially true. Most people who are evil by choice choose to refer to themselves as evil, rather than a different good.

The dragon are hive creatures, similar to honey bees.

But the actual technicalities of bee reproduction baffles me, so if someone would like to step in.

Basically, females are big and can fly; males are smaller can only fly during mating season (not necessarily accurate with bees). The queen flies only once in her lifetime, when look for a mate. The females are twice the size of males, and the queen is maybe five times that again.

, also I got an idea, let's say that the dwallows and mogruls have been prepared for an all out war and that they weant and all out war to happen but that as the scorpicore territory is in the middle of both this war can't happen and a quest for both mogruls and dwallows will be to find an alternative route while that the quest of the scorpicore will be to secure the alternative rout, what do you think of it boss?

Not sure about the idea of them going to war, and if they did, why they'd care about invading the middle ground.

No what I mean is that they do want to go to war but the scorpicore dont allow them, so they are searching for alternative routes to attack the enemy, do you get me , and I got an idea for the part of the war let's say that after the quest they can't go to war because they wasted almost all of their resources in making the alternative route viable :d, so what do you think of it boss?

How exactly do the scorpicore disallow the war? They aren't the law, or in anyway superior to two other races.

what I mean that they stop the war is that when a war caravan goes throught their territory they dispatch it, thus not allowing the first attack to start, do you get me now boss?
