~Nakam - Questions & Answers~

[Soccernut13]

So I suppose poisons, potions and similar nasties are involved somewhere?

Please keep answering all these amazing questions! I'm getting all giddy seeing some good answers as well.

Hmmm... I'll be back.

EXTREME BUMPAGE OF ALL BUMPS.

..Lorestuffs?
Well, somewhat.

Exodus.
As the exodus approaches, the southern peak of Kavdek begins emanating a steady, nearly silent hum.
Many don't hear it at all, and those who do are branded as crazy, though as surely as the sun rises, the hum continues~

...HAVE FUN WITH THAT, FELLAS~

Herpderp, look up thar in ruins~!

~Ruins~
As with any long populated area, there are remains of villages and civilizations long abandoned.
Many abandoned jungle floor based villages reside in the east, though these mostly serve as teshvadiik hideouts, their location and abundance would suggest that the earliest of Nakam establishments were largely stone-based, as well as equipped with enough survival supplies to keep their land and citizens safe enough to create stoneworks able to survive hundreds of years.
For obvious reasons, they must've abandoned their heavy stone-based building techniques when moving to higher ground, as it would've been much more difficult to support.
Many abandoned suspended villages remain in the central island, though most of them have no tragic story beyond the villagers seeking homes elsewhere.
The rotting and degrading remains of the first attempted modern civilization can be seen at the north end of the island, in the form of a half-completed castle.
The exact origines of this castle are unknown, though the wide abundance of scaffolding around it's walls coupled with the complete lack of furnishings would suggest that it's inhabitants were cut-short in their project.
One very unique and interesting ruin remains to the south.
A cave resides on the top of the islands tallest mountain, it's twists and turns prevent any snowdrifts from reaching within (and will also turn away the most aware of unwanted visitors.)
The cave's walls remain etched with lines in fantastical patterns, and many of it's walls are structurally smooth and perfectly flat.
Deep within the cave resides a single village- still kicking. Though it's population remains dwindling, their strongest warriors are at constant guard to the back exit of their small town.
They claim to be the protectors of the elders, saying that the final chamber of the cave inhabits those they claim to worship, and will let no one short of a fate blessed Nakam pass through their defenses.
Many who pass through the gate, even with the village's permission, are never to return.
Those who do return remain catatonic, in an almost dementia-like stupor, mumbling things of light and knowledge.

I actually have a question. Would a Nakat find it offending if somebody stroked their fur? And would a Nakat ever let a child stroke it's fur, and say it was a pretty kitty?

Shh shh.. Shhhhhhhhhh...

 

[The Living Ghost]

Shh shh.. Shhhhhhhhhh...

She's going to get mauled.
I don't care how hard it is to make a nakat feral, she's still getting mauled

Er..just imagine doing this to a person. If they're a nice, somewhat calm and collected individual, I'm sure they'd just smile at a child "petting" them. A fully grown stranger petting them, though..that's just weird ._.
What would be worse is petting the Nakat with multiple scars and bandit garb and such.
So it depends on the person, really

How much of a load can one tail carry?

Well, don't expect them to be wielding shields or swords or anything from their rump extensions #~#
Not only are their tails not strong enough, but they aren't nearly versatile enough to "grab" anything. At most, you could possibly see someone walking about with a tiny box of herbs or other light goods tied to the ends of their tails, though why anyone would do this when they have perfectly good hands available, I'd never understand #~#
The tail's also not a very popular place for jewelry, partly because it's distance behind the Nakat in question allows for easy thieving, but also because the swinging or bouncing motions of walking could just toss attached jewelry clear across the room.

Well, I can see the use of the tail for carrying things coming in handy for merchants...kinda~

Again, I suppose a particularly eccentric Nakat could use their tail to carry around things, though don't consider it the norm

Ah crap, I never really thought of it like that xD

The thing I was getting at is jewelry and small pouches, not to be having another arm to wield three swords, otherwise Eminu would spin around like a helicopter and slay everything. Could it possibly support some sort of armor? I would imagine the tail too has nerve endings and a point that could be used to the enemies advantage during a fight.

Don't think so, would probably slip off.

Plenty of people have yanked Eminus tail in a fight, ha..
