Out-Of-Placers #178: Ivenmoth Publication Archives #1

I like all the effort put into miscellaneous background stuff it really helps make the world feel super fleshed out and alive.

But whynow am I zhinking of Mozhman from Cyanide and Happiness?

Sesra

I zhink zhis document gives express permission, if by errant you mean prone to commit crime.

Val Salia

Yeahhh, he and the elders are REALLY not super enthusiastic about an enclave having actual, official relations of this sort with a human settlement.

Val Salia

A few of them guard Viracroix's private ivenmoth-breeding pens, making them *literal* moth-guards.

Val Salia

As soon as the Trademaster started inviting them in for formal talks, a lotta people knew what was up.

Val Salia

If crime, go crazy

Val Salia

Yeahhh it was either going to be that or "[sic]the" It helps that over years of writing these pages and getting feedback, it becomes obvious where some of the uncertain or grey areas of the setting are; so when the story runs up against some of 'em, I've got a good amount of material to write a page like this for!

Val Salia

It's perfectly fair!

Val Salia

Yeah, the female yinglets are preeetty safe within The Teeth; all the guards know they're high protection-priority.

Val Salia

Mostly that!

Val Salia

Can one still fling an errant Yinglet?

Estragon

I love it

Raan

Well.. zhis explain Narklet even more somehow... Can't imagine a FORMALIZED diplomatic relation to zhis enclave would have set especially well wizh zhe fearful and suspicious elders. *ponder* I zhink zhey wanna know what going on between zhe two... derail it outright. But zhis just me zhinking out loud... and I'm not very good at zhinking.... Even quietly... wehheh... OH! .. and I especially frequent in failure of zhe imagining where zhe mind of ValBirb going wizh zhis stuff... sooo...

Sesra

We also get a name for those enforcers in the House's employ: Mothguard.

It's good to have things clarified. I'm guessing a lot of the more thoughtful people kind of saw this coming.

Thorin N. Tatge

Do not yeet the yinglets (unless crime)

Merle Blue

I'm always impressed by the lengths you go to create a tangible world with these kinds of detailed documents. What makes these truly feel authentic are the colloquial touches, like the fact that kicking yinglets is such a common practice that the Val Salian officials were compelled to cite it directly. And of course, "[th]e".

Catomix

Yes! Punting Yinglets is still allowed! As long as said Yinglet is a criminal and there's no guards around to stop em.

CompletelyNewguy

Very informative. That eases me some on the Pekkit travels.

Vet

Fairly reasonable.
