Ok y'know what I'm going to leave this shitfuck of a post where it is for the night and come back to it tomorrow so that I can get some sleep. Wow. Writing is tiring.

By the way, will we ever have a mass extinction event? Even good ol'Earth lost 90% of its species on the Permian Extinction (Jurassic extinction is overrated, this one was the true hell on earth event)

You mean, that one point in history paleontologists call [i]The Great Dying[/i]? I'm up for it.

That said, it'll probably happen of its own accord once there's a divine war big enough, or if Logos comes back, looks at all our batshit weird life forms, screams 'REEEEEEEE' and pulls a more-carefully-planned-Vestec.

Can I champion the idea that we mess with existing creatures rather than creating new ones? Slate-apes that hew houses and halls from actual slate, as made by Teknall -- or Tender Birbs that sing great epics from the tree tops, from Illunabar.

Or you could go further with your changes and just base them on the original style of animal. We've got a tonne of unique animals right now -- we could focus on these rather than making humans, or dwarfs.

I have plans that I can absolutely use to emphasize this theme, yes. Let's do it.
