It’s not obvious that predation abolition is morally obligatory/permissible. It involves changing the bodies of every animal and, without their consent. It also would involve an absurd amount of animal testing, which itself would have us explicitly killing/making animals suffer.
I think the moral circle will envelop all sentient beings fairly soon leading to predation abolition

The frontier village of Ovanad. Seat of kings in ancient times, its tower-fortress was a necromancer stronghold until it was destroyed by the Domekans, early in their campaign.
Two Zaticar mercenaries and their pack-kapro, on their way to Karazad. After their own city-state, Zatico, fell to a Domekan seige, most of the city’s surviving defenders turned to sellswordery

In the Atacama Desert in Chile, there's 3,000-year-old, densely packed shrub called llareta. It looks like moss covering rocks, but it's actually a cluster of branches and leaves that is so hard you can stand on it.

I do wish North America had these sorts of business hotels- just a room with some blankets, pillow, fridge and tv for one fella, shared bathroom… but I don’t think I trust my fellow North Americans with a shared bathroom anymore

Maybe we find ochre in ancient burials not because covering the dead with ochre was a "burial ritual", but because people were covering themselves with ochre while they were still alive to protect themselves from insects. I talk about this in this article
Did you know that the first 3 ores mined by humans were all red? First ore = red ochre Second ore = red cinnabar Third ore = red copper I wrote about this here https://t.co/MwjhRAHuyN 16500-15000BC cave painting of a bison from Altamira, Spain, red ochre ore, red ochre powder

Another big inspiration for including this big flamboyant hairstyle is from the 1989 “hard to be a god” movie, where the nobility wear great exaggerated manes
As a small (possibly caused by my schizoid imagination) detail: this hairstyle has showed up since the days of Prophet with World-Raper Multi-Muitox, and seems to have been spiritually passed to Domekan warriors. I *love* it. To have such a mane IRL one day, that'd be something!

@tomieinlove All these AI companies were desperate for profit after promising insane returns that never materialized so they turned to the military industrial complex and surveillance state. So who are you really lecturing about violence born from desperation?

@simonroyart Oh, I love that sort of "real life"-to-fiction bleed-in! But this could also mean, maybe, that we'll see the giant fowl/sentinel poultry there as well?...
