[Locked Transmission to Residents]

Today is August 15. In the past, we have calculated the New Feather cycle as approximately 15 days, with the first day aligning with the beginning of each month. This past month has been unusual with the influx of New Feathers, and then the notable lack this month ( Read more... )

By New Feathers, you mean new arrivals? Like me?

This is a little confusing, probably because I haven't been here for long... but are the spirits you speak of similar to mana?

That's correct. It's a term that's been around here for awhile. "New Feathers" are usually those who arrived within the last month or two.

You may wish to ask someone more familiar with what "mana" is. For what it is worth, no one I have spoken to has found the spirits as anything native to their own worlds.

Oh, I see.

Mana are spirits of elements. I thought all worlds would have them. Otherwise what would govern things like water, and air?

I believe some other worlds have referred to "fonons" and "aer" to explain the elements in their own world. Others don't seem to have specific bodies that control the flow of the elements at all.

It would be fun to one day learn about how things like that work in other worlds. Though, in mine there are mana, as in embodiments of an element, and then mana, as energy.

It sounds vaguely complex. Why refer to two different things by the same term?

[Same Lock] raisedbyacat August 18 2009, 19:36:43 UTC

It's not really that complex. I think maybe context helps you know which is being talked about. And, they are closely related.

[Same Lock] chikaidestroyer August 18 2009, 19:41:24 UTC

Context may be difficult when others here do not understand the mechanics of your world.

But I digress. If you wish to compare the spirits here to those in your world, you should consider contacting them. It takes time and some knowledge of the landscape, but you have plenty of the former while you are here.

[Same Lock] raisedbyacat August 18 2009, 19:47:38 UTC

Oh, that's true, I didn't really think of that.

That might be good. I never got to talk to many in my world, other than the ones my friends had pacts with. Thank you for suggesting it.
