#xarruk

[deception-and-disgrace]

new thing:

xarrukan: gets too hot xarrukan brain: oh shit passes out

basically xarrukans have evolved to be constantly cold and knowing that if they're warm, they're probably safe. if they're warm, they're probably near a fire or curled up with their pack. most find sleeping while cold difficult because their brains are keeping them awake and aware so they can get to the safety of a fire or their packmates 

it mostly evolved around the facts that predators get more desperate when its colder and if you're walking across a frozen lake, it helps if you’re hyper aware of every crack and creak of the ice.

A thing I didn't even consider until 5 minutes ago: how xarrukans would be affected by finally being proper allies with someone for the first time in their history.

Their relationship with the blade of marmora didn’t go far beyond the blade of marmora protecting them and the xarrukans providing them with more soldiers to fight with against zarkon. Being friendly to outsiders is quite the controversial topic. They’ve spent the last 12,000 years being resistant to any outside influence, why should they do so now?

At first, a few dozen Xarrukans would leave to act as representatives and to help the new Alliance in any way they can but I think most of them couldn’t leave. Their religion is vague about whether interacting with more technologically advanced civilizations and using their technology is okay or not, most xarrukans are divided upon the topic.

After a few decades, I think a decent chunk of them would have traveled to live in the Alliance as long as they’re allowed to practice their religion (allowed to hunt food for themselves, make their own clothing, and basically provide for themselves)

as a person who loves archaeology and history, i cant get over the fact that xarruk is over fucking 10,000 years old and xarrukans have been living on Koras 53 before zarkon was ever emperor. and even before that back on daibazaal they have hundreds of thousands of years of history that, due to daibazaal being destroyed, only lives on in the minds of the xarrukans.

a weird fun xarruk fact: since everything is seen as having a soul, trees, kacha (kinda like chickens), aooch (sorta like elephants, camels or horses), and mahsava (like sled dogs) can all be counted as a witness to crimes

on a happier hand, i’m finally beginning to get a real view of what xarruk looks like. most of the vegetation is red or dark purple in color and the trees bear light purple berries in spring. strange dinosaur like creatures roam the land, looking much like the “mammal-like reptiles” of the Permian period. i’ll either draw something or do some drabbles on this later

fun fact: The other planets in Koras 53′s system are all close together and it is considered a crowded solar system. The planet nearest to Koras 53, called Kchura, is the largest in the sky and appears larger than the two moons in the sky. The moons are called Dachsd-kad and Sodara-kad.

Basically Sendak’s accent: Imagine taking a khajiit accent, deepening it, and mixing it with a nordic accent. He’s pretty hard to understand without his translator due to his accent.
