[OOC] From Dawn Till Dusk: A New Era

@Crusader LordWAIT, WE CAN MAKE MULTIPLE SPECIES?!!@?

I'll have to take this up with @6slyboy6

[rezay]

<Snipped quote by rezay>

I don't think you would have that much explored jesus christ

@DX3214

Well, they don't— the mountain range and desert, for example. They're just aware that it's there, and they have a name for it.

[Crusader Lord]

@rezay I asked Nis a long time ago and he said he wouldn't stop me. Mostly I am seeing how trying to use two would do, and worst case one of my species goes extinct off-screen if I get overloaded by the work load for that irl. Tis' experimental, as it were. :P

I'd say ask him before doing anything though, if you'd be wanting to. I don't think we want to overload the RP too much with stuff. XD

@Crusader Lord

Good idea, I didn't think it was possible though. Sounds very cool

Maybe wait until later in the RP, you seem to be the guinea pig :D

@rezay

Okay then its just odd that you have named even behind the mountain ranges and everything around you as well then again it's just me... ALSO may i say you are in grasslands not deserts and the only deserts there is mountain tops according to the map.

@DX3214

I just named all the features the takhal have come in contact with. The bubbles of color used to represent them show their actual extent (except for the Yaagkhege, which is a division from the rest of the grassland made by the takhal, and isn't really geographically defined).



The desert is that little spot of yellowish-gray in the middle, to the bottom right of the Yaagkhege. The distinction isn't 100%, it would sort of fade from grassland into desert, but the takhal don't go there because eventually it does become desert, so they have a special name for it.

*Alright, let me make a map of the area they definitely have explored for clarity

[DX3214]

@rezay

Right got it is that i am trying to get the overlays correct to a extent

[rezay]

*Out of date

[DX3214]

There. The lighter orange is the areas they've travelled to before, and the darker orange is the areas they travel to regularly (a.k.a., their usual migration pattern).

Takhal Range

@rezay

Kind of funny the migration but okay

@DX3214

They move into the grasslands in the winter and then down to the forests to the west in the spring-summer, when everything is in bloom and they can exploit the resources available. I should have included more of the forests, but that image gets the just of it (as I see it now).

They range for migration is pretty short because I imagine their population isn't too large. Still awaiting ruling

@rezay

Well, you live in spring in a massive grassland west of the mountains close to a river valley and then you pack things during winter and move towards a mountain pass that should be difficult to transverse knowing geography and then settle up stream of a river in grasslands that lead to a more green land seeing it from up mountains if you do that which is odd i can't judge knowing that many nomadic tribes in the past moved from their arid region in Kazakhstan to the mountains of Afghanistan before going to India but that happens over generations... Yeah, there is a lot of funny inconsistencies but whatever you are closer to everyone in what feels like a bit of a railroad but its nothing bad.

[DX3214]

@rezay oh btw, I think you don't know but crusader picked, to put her people in the mountains so you are neighbors with the dark elves in one of the mountains.

@DX3214

They're nomads. The width of their whole migration is maybe 110-150 km (if you look at the scale in the bottom left). The example you speak of would be at least 2000 km long (Somewhere in modern-day Kazakhstan to India). They would definitely be able to do that (110-150 km) in a year. Now that I look at it though, I might shave off that little tail to the east of the mountains and only have them go there every once in a while. The east, being where the sun rises, is important in their religious cannon, so something to do with that most likely.

They simply move down to the forests south of the grasslands to do whatever they need to while the weather is nice. When winter comes and everything dies or goes into hibernation, they move back out to the grasslands.

It's also all very dependent on their population, which I don't know yet.

Expansion Pack

[DX3214]

Coolio well for now i think things will move still have yet to define a few names to my place

[rezay]

By the way, when are we going to decide population? And how? After everyone has made their first IC?

@rezay

NOPE I HAVENT YET been struggling a litle bit as for population Nis told he plans to deal with that later so its open ended for now.

[rezay]

Alright, new materials:

Takhal names for geographic features

Areas:

The Yaagkhege (Steppe/grassland)
The Nuugkhan (Desert)
The Daanigkhal (Mountain range)
The Nëzhiba (Forest)

Special features:

Daalag Jöm (Mythical place, the tallest mountain in the Daanigkhal, translates to "God's House")

Rivers:

The Nëju
The Debaik
The Rheju

Takhal annual migration

They travel to where the blue arrow is pointing for the fall/winter, and to where the red arrow is pointing for spring/summer.

Thanks :)

Glad you pointed out to me the unlikelihood they'd cross a mountain range in winter months. This new arrangement is more believable.
