Two little historians. Borln Omödst zol Shto'traztck, an architectural historian, survivalist and bodyguard to Wa'chaa trlii Quiibii, a former cartographer, turned art historian. (their credentials provided) The two met years ago during a guild trade-off in the Idle Library, an annual event for allied research groups to share and compare their newest discoveries and stories of their expeditions to the public. The two became vastly interested in unearthing what remained of rakii culture before the students arrived.

Omödst is a resident in Chkydun, under the Shto Dominion by the Urbu sea. Her expeditions and contributions to both Iot and Shto's historical archives provide her family with the proper comfort government funding can provide. Though she isn't home as often as she'd like to be, stuck with the annoying standards demanded of her from Iotton traditions. Omödst is considered to be intimidating and uncouth.

Quiibii has been accompanying her on their adventures. He is a resident in the capital holy city of Iot, living within the second level. He spent some time as a cartographer as he had a great eye for detail and direction. Though he was much more interested in the various drawn pieces of work, it later clicked for Quiibii, that he really wanted to study art and writing.

The two have a very good relationship on and off work. Quiibii had long gotten used to his companion's lacking of modesty when in outdoor situations, and Omödst had gotten used to his bizarre lack of survival skills. On one instance, they had encountered a blizzard while treading along Moon Gazer Pass, to only then find themselves meeting up with bandits.

Currently, they are stationed in Tuk in the Shto Dominion.

These two will be my little explorers in discussing old rakii stuff, mainly buildings and art. Thought it'd be a fun way for bringing up pre-student era stuff.

Bliil

A common jungle treat that was once simple meal filler, turned to a luxury delight, due to the need of imported sauces. During the rising tensions of Iot pressuring their neighbors to adopt their culture and technical advancements gifted by the Students, a not so reasonable voice demanded they go for the very vein connecting them all. Trade routes. Hindering the prices and policing what they allowed to sell between nations, this would cause a bitter view not upon Iot, but the region that refused their generosity. Parts of jungle territories were losing income being unable to sell their goods further out and make profit. The trade wars would be called off after a deal was made, another ally gained, and the flood of cheap goods and fine cuts flowed to the public and common folk once more.

Bliil contains smoked and chopped back or belly meat (brwee or other blue meat) covered in a semi-sweet fruit glaze, all nicely baked or fried in an herbal bun. On some festive occasions, the buns would be marked with pictures or scripts on the surface, or made with seasonal glazes.

have some more!

Gestures ideas n such

Ee'ket, the matriarch of Twukiio, a vast jungle faction allied with Iot. She is the youngest matriarch to rule and carries a rare genetic mutation where she lacks any of her markings, leaving only her frill with color. A rare and attractive trait as it left an individual with many colorful options to add to their body. Despite her most sought after beauty, Ee'ket avoided suitors and never provided heirs. She developed a phobia of egg-laying after her mother had passed from being egg-bound. She would often try to distract this issue with lavish parties, which slowly brought disdain and impatience from the citizens of Twukiio, and her immediate family (her grandmother)

CHICKEN Hen, rooster, and non-reproductive rooster. I plan to elaborate on them more, with breeds and so on. Just know they were a symbolic bird to certain coastal tribe before the mainland rakii got to them.

Bio-mechs' largest living ship Equip with high tech goods and synthetic organs, which were impossibly too big to craft without them falling into themselves + the energy consumption so, she's got a large amount of them has 2 large lung chambers tho, able to sustain both herself and crew

Well that's most of it. Sorry for the bean scraps, but figured I had a neat backlog to show somethin' kii related. I'm still working my Happy Hills comic (and commissions atm) so hopefully when the first issue is out I can return to worldbuldin' these goobers. I at least have the spare time mostly to dabble in-between projects aaaa
