I wonder if the reason Grigon didn't like having animals/pets at home was because he used to own one as a child but his father didn't approve and then forced him to kill it.

Yes. Except Garraxhar did it to Garrek. Even more heartbreaking: said pet, a beautiful canary-like bird, was a gift from Vinra.

Garrek loved that bird and spent lots of time with the bird, to the point he'd let it out of its cage, and the little bird would perch on his head. But a week after Vinra died, Garraxhar shot it with his hand cannon in a drunken rage. T-T

All in all, pets of any kind remind Grigon of that time, so that's why he didn't let Glordon have any pets. Well, except for the lavamander that one time.

I've been playing Roots of Pacha for the past two days, and I have three boyfriends (Jelrod, Garrek & Jag) and one girlfriend (Illoe). I'm working on a couple more, but yeah.

I want Gin and Grob.

Ever since Garrek was born, when did Garraxhar decide he didn't like him?

The saddest part is that, when Garrek hatched, Garraxhar was pretty okay with him even if he didn’t like his softer personality compared to the more hot-headed Grigon.

It wasn’t until after Vinra committed s**** that things went sour. Since Garrek resembled her greatly, Garraxhar projected his resentment toward his late wife unto him.

Was there ever a campaign by the Armada to secretly convince the Ag'nakarr to rise against the Sobrekt government to topple the planet from the inside and weaken it enough for the Armada to move in and conquer easily?

As a matter of fact, Garrek did suggest the idea, but Garraxhar instantly rejected it. Hylurg would freeze before he’d resort to making ‘friends’ worth filthy half-breeds. (Plus, the idea came from the unfavorite son, so of course he wouldn’t take it seriously)

Millennia later, Grigon remembered his brother’s idea, and after some thought realized it wasn’t such a bad idea. The Ag’nakarr have a deep-rooted resentment toward the Sobrekt government for basically banishing them from their home world just for being half-breeds, so they’d jump at the chance.

However, at that point Grigon had already come to the conclusion that it’d be better to have the Sobrekt as allies than conquered slaves. So, he did reach out to the Ag’nakarr and offer them aid in exchange for information, espionage, and sabotage.

I wonder how Garrek got the fleet he took to agree to go to Sobr and fight under his command. After fleeing back to Hylurg, did the soldiers who survived with him hate/resent him for the remainder of his life? I wonder how the families and friends of the soldiers killed managed once the news of the loss became public.

…He faked his brother's signature, thus the fleet thought Grigon himself gave the order; they wouldn't have listened to Garrek, but Grigon, a fleetmaster with a flawless reputation, is another story. Perhaps, in a way, Garrek was hoping that in the 'unlikely' case things went south, the blame would go to his 'perfect' brother for once. No wonder even Grigon was pissed at him!

Unfortunately, he underestimated how well their father knew his favorite son. Garraxhar could tell with one look that the signature and the redacting style were not Grigon's; plus, Grigon isn't stupid enough to attack the Sobrekt homeworld with one fleet only.

The survivors of the failed attack were, understandably, pissed at Garrek's deception. Not only because of the lie itself, but because he dishonored them by making them flee. And that's without mentioning the dead soldiers' widows and orphans.
