Just By the Way

Okay, just by the way everybody, Noria is AWESOME once again, and I am not going to reveal any more about Oua and the alligator for now. :) ("It's a crocodile," Noria exasperatedly adds).

Anyway, in case any of you were wondering, I can clear up a little more about the awesome awesome map without giving away too many spoilers.

Number one, deer-horses are not like mammoth-elephants. Mammoth-elephants are not used for transportation in the forests, just as deer-horses aren't used in the mountains. So, remember that.

Number two, the temples are the monarch in the HK. Of course they're just in the central area, but the other places are a bit more "savage" and govern more by "every man for himself" than with a permanent system of leadership. No King, no Princess, no Handsome Prince, no Democratic-Republican Senators. Just the temples - for the priests and priestesses (beginning at age 15) who have Jiaii talent. These people are very good with poisons and medicines and stuff.

Number three, the Rainforest region people are tricky, intuitive, unhesitant scammers, and live by an evolving system where law is contraband, but they are still very loyal, although they will still scam you. The second main area is the North, where it's cold and dry, distrustful and selfish. The third and last main area (these are the people areas, by the way, not the geographical areas, which are outlined in the map) is the Central area, which is the most civilized, lighthearted, educated, wealthy, and religious, and the most complex, although also the easiest to understand. The North and the Rainforest are both smaller and more obscure, and they have that sense where you don't even bother trying to understand them. So we focus on the Central area, which is where Oua was born, and where the Priestess girl will grow up.

Number four, tsibirds are awesome. Is there any more I have to explain?

Number five, the tree alligator - okay, CROCODILE - eggs are found in the hearts of the mangrove trees. I'm not going to specify what I have in mind about that yet, but it's true, and it will be important. By the way, tree crocodiles are awesome too.

And number six - EVERYONE IN HK SPEAKS THE SAME LANGUAGE AND USES THE SAME CURRENCY!!!! This may or may not be true, but by the time you read it, whatever it says will be the truth, so just read it, because good old Noria will edit it before anyone new stumbles across our blog. And hopefully, she will specify what that language and currency is, because I will need it now. Hint, hint.

All right, that's all for now! Wait for the next chapter...coming up soon!

No promises though. :D
