#palia lore

How do you think most crimes in Palia are dealt with? Say if there was a serious crime not involving Flow or the Cartel, would The Order still get involved? At what level does the government in Bahari City extend their authority? Has Eshe or Kenli ever arrested someone in Kilima? Where are prisoners detained? Does Palia have a prison system? Or is there more of an eye-for-an-eye mentality when it comes to small settlements like Kilima Village?

I really hope these questions get answered and expanded upon in later updates, I NEED Lord of the Rings level detail for Palia because my autistic ass is chomping at the bit for more context for my fanfics!

Very important lore thoughts

I see there are many discussions about some characters in Palia. Particularly about Tamala, for example. I am just thinking if it's possible to don´t like Tamala (like, I wouldn't be her friend probably if we shared the same universe), but still appreciate how she is created as a character in the game? I also wouldn't be friend with Badruu or Hassian for many reasons, but I am happy they are in the game.

Wrote a thing!

Reading some of the books you can find in the game, it's so disappointing how short they are. Hell, there's a "book" on Palian etiquette and manners that's just one page long, and that I would consider the introduction to the book, if anything.

So I've decided to take matters into my own hands, and start rewriting some of the books found in the game! Mostly in the library, of course.

You can read the first one here! It's "Astrology and You, Vol. I" if it actually explained things.

No shade to the devs, of course: there's no reason for them to bother writing something long when the average player is never going to read it, but I thought it was fun to think about.

I just wanted you to see this! Saw this while looking through the Wiki. While I did get the first half of dialogue I’ve never seen the second half!

Ooooo whoa.. makes me wonder is Kenyara strung Eshe along and used her love against her. Got her to marry her brother instead and shipped them off. I mean the "you just had to go and sour my mood, didn't you" 😬

They didn't mean to let it get out of hand... the Crooked moons had persuaded them to head to the woodlands of Bahari for a nightly ritual far different from the one at the tailor's shop.

They yearned to be wild, free... feral. Fangs glistening in the moonlight. Six-horned crowns adorned their heads. King and queen of their own Crooked lands. Their ritual hadn't been as monstrous as one might think. People had come up with their own stories when they learned of their existence, heard their growls and caught a glimpse of them in the shadows of the woods. But now the humans had learned about the stories and they were far more adventurous, patrolling the woods as the Crooked moons appeared.

It didn't have to come to this. If only the human hadn't threatened to shoot them with bow and arrow. The bloodshed was unnecessary. Yet the scent of fresh blood on woodland soil was so... addictive...
