[b]The Cindorayi Republic, Population: 152, Year 20 IL, Age of the Quarter Moon[/b] [@Elitestpotato] Sonya accepts the hides graciously, thinking that perhaps they could be used for houses or for some kind of wearable protection against wild animals. She offers one of their spears in exchange, and notices immediately that the Brute spear is somewhat thicker and lacks the Cindorayi attention to detail that makes their spears almost flawlessly smooth and pointed by comparison. It is, however, a fearsome instrument. --- A Cindorayi named Nadya, a hunter by trade, was striding through the forest, when curiously she saw a small worm wrapping itself in a kind of covering. Placing a finger on it, she noted that the material was quite soft and not unlike a stretchier version of rope. Taking the worm once it had wrapped itself up, she brought it back to the village where a few others examined it and thought it would be useful as a material, if they could take it off. Using a knife to attempt to cut it off, however, proved disastrous as the material quickly fell apart and the worm died. Nadya now is convinced that there must be some way to extract it, she is just not sure what. Great progress continues to be made with the wall of Lunysvet, fused together by large rocks and solidified glina. The wall is quite resistant to any blows the Cindorayi attempt on it, but Viktorya, the scientific councilor, continues to experiment on changing the consistency of the glina. She finally strikes upon an interesting idea: why not use two different consistencies of glina, one to replace the role of stone, and the other to hold it together? She forms and bakes the first mud bricks, and proposes that once they finish the construction of the wall they use this simpler process to improve houses.
