Re: Road to Hope
Around 34 million Earth years ago, at the end of the very creatively named 18th Era, the boreal and polar regions including the Great Polar Plateau, where Kyanah would eventually evolve, and its surroundings, were a very different place. The climate was at the time cooler and drier than the modern H...

Note that ocean biomes are not present, over 90% of the planet would be desert by Terran precipitation standards, but plant life has adapted to this in various ways, so greenery is more prevalent than one ...

Re: Road to Hope
As was (maybe) previously stated, Kyanah don't have distinct languages with specific labels, yet this does not mean that they all share a common language.

Re: Road to Hope
I'm just imagining people and Kyanah coexisting on Earth and eventually becoming part of the same society. I'm actually drafting a post on this. Eventually one day, Ikun's inhabitants see some sort of rocket land, with strange organisms in suits exiting alongside some Kyanah- who have come home for...

Re: Road to Hope
Some of the city-states! As previously mentioned, there is no exact count of the number of Kyanah city-states, but there is an exact count of Coalition of Cities members. Of these, the breakdown as of Y976 is 283 tier 1 cities, 1469 tier 2 cities, 1195 tier 3 cities, and 460 tier 4 cities. Tier 1 is...

Finally, after eight years, a definitive map of the Kyanah homeworld. No more vague handwaving and here-be-dragons nonsense. https://i.imgur.com/FhoQbk0.png ( Here's another version without the regions labeled) In red are the impact ranges, the equivalent to mountain ranges since they have no tecton...
