STILL there's no explanation of how the spirit shepherds actually function other than "charity". Like, at least have a mutual aid network set up. That would be in-genre! That would make sense! Say they lead very simple lives but have things set up in such a way that they take care of each other, or there are noted benefactors. Like there's history for this sort of thing, you can look at old religious orders. Just a few words would add so much! And yes of course it's a Deegan, it's always a Deegan. You know some people have complained about how the Star Wars franchise puts too much weight on the Skywalkers and that's valid but MAN this is much worse.

i was convinced pares was either a former spirit shepherd or at least trained to become one, what with having a history with saritha and obviously being invested in convincing her of his radical ideas of "self-worth" and "self-care". there's even a potential story there of pares doing actual spirit shepherd work, getting possessed, getting rocks thrown at him and ending up hungry and homeless for it before saying gently caress it, if no one respects me then i don't need to respect anyone else, and why he's so desperate for saritha to agree with him to affirm his bitterness. though i suppose that risks showing that our good guy organisation might have flaws and we can't have that also it's funny that jacob's rebuttal at the cult accusation is that their members reject personal wealth when that's like, strategy number one cults employ to ensure members are dependent on the cult and isolated from the outside world

It's so silly for mookie to keep pulling new deegans out of a hat whenever he wants there to have been an important person who did something - especially when Jacob is right there and fits the bill just as well. Re: the vegan market stuff, honestly I get it. There is something to lament about individual farmers having to adopt corporate culture, turn themselves into a brand, and engage in marketing. It's alienating. rudecyrus posted:aside from the Mookiena chapter, every story features a Deegan affecting the plot in some way to the protagonist's benefit Makena and the badger lady did bond over an appreciation of "the classics", Greg's music.

it's difficult for me to think of the spirit shepherds as any sort of organization since we don't know anything about them other than: 1. They guide spirits to the afterlife -- excuse me, "The Great Cycle" 2. They're "wholly selfless" 3. They live entirely on charity (somehow) No clue how many there are, what kind of training they go through, what daily rituals they perform, if there's a hierarchy, if they have other duties, how someone becomes a spirit shepherd, etc, etc

# ? May 1, 2024 11:43 |

Yeah, it's really bad that Jacob doesn't leverage his family's immense wealth, fame, and resources to at least set up a system where the Spirit Shepards basic needs (food, shelter, safety) are taken care of. Also, maybe he should set up a some ground rules like, say, 'you can't accept sexual favours as payment for saving someone's relatives from eternal torment'.

If there's NEVER, in all of history, been a mixed-race pregnancy, 'ancestry' isn't the right word, and Mookie is probably just using it because D&D uses it now. If (according to Dominic) humans are dwarves are loving continuously but never producing offspring, they're definitely wholly different species. Also, I thought the dwarf homeland was completely closed off and no one got in or out? That there were no records of any dwarves outside of the one city-state? Are humans going there for sex tourism?

If I remember right, dwarves were more inviting in Dominic’s time - I think they got more closed off as time went on.

Nabora got exiled for fighting against centuries of oppression, which included the dwarven homeland being closed off to outsiders. This happens before Cresca is even born (since Cresca knew absolutely nothing about Kadaz). The timeline for Rebel makes no sense at all, purely because Gregory is Cresca's dad. If her dad was some random Deegan descendant, then it could fit in the timeline.

I think it's possible Cresca is older than she looks, or at least outlived the OG Deegans by centuries or decades, since in some D&D settings, dwarves live for 400+ years.

# ? May 1, 2024 22:31 |

Yeah, that definitely seems to be the case. The timeline seems to roughly be:
So if Cresca's supposed to be a young adult, it's possible dwarves (and half-dwarves I guess) age 10x slower than humans in this setting.

Also it means the dwarves were an isolationist hyper-patriarchy at the time one punched Dominic in the groin. Never came up for some reason.
