Wonderings

This is just for those little... one might say, insignificant... little things you have always wondered about Atys

Example: A Zorai's mask, assuming they are born with it and it is not grafted on at birth. Is the mask hard like a shell?

If so... does it protect the Zorai's face in anyway, and how are they able to eat through such a small slit for a mouth hole.

If not... does it allow the Zorai to open and close the eye and mouth holes, and what is it?

Press the > button on the character creation screen for a Zorai and watch the animations that play. You'll see that Zorai can flex the orifices of their masks quite extensively (example).

The masks are grafted on in a special ceremony at the age of about 6 or 7, if I remember correctly.

Edit: *LOL* As always, Katriell was faster XD

Ah, and before you ask:
YES, we all would LOVE to see facial movement InGame, but as far as we know the current code does not allow for it and the animations on character creation are something apart from that, done in another code. *sigh*

Now... what about the lights the Zorai use? Are they magical, or are they electrical? ((The Zorai are masters of electricity and magnitism after all))

[katriell]

Good question. I don't know...

You're thinking too much inside the boxes. The Zoraï have no technology as we know it, no power generators and copper wiring. To them, electrical is magical.

Good point... thought about that... and thought they might use salt crystals as conductors, and generate the electricity magically, or through stored up charges from lighting strikes.
