Aaaaand that will make it into my D&D game the next time the players visit an Elven city.

"Humans"?

Anyone notice an uptick of posts talking about "humans" instead of "people". "Humans in northeast India"? Who talks like that?

We obviously have non humans running around.

I’d say it’s probably horses writing these headlines but their hooves are too big for a keyboard

You could almost say… there’s an impostor among us

That’s absurd; horses don’t use human keyboards.

The Institute is a real thing then.

Yea. This place in the pic is near Cherrapunji in Meghalaya. It's a 2 hrs drive from my place. The root bridge is a famous tourist attraction. Another interesting fact is that the region gets the highest rainfall per annum in the world.

Devil’s advocate: probably because it is describing people as a part of the fauna in an eco-system interacting with the flora, rather than in a social context.

Lmao using this for D&D was absolutely my first thought

How are you doing fellow human?

Enough time has finally passed that I can read this sentence without having a breakdown

Now that record is being held by Mawsynram right?(of course Cherrapunji is a fond memory from geography lessons)

Ya. It's very near Cherrapunji.

Yeah! I’m from the north east and it’s large place consisting of multiple states. This is in a particular place in one of the states not the entire north east lol

Mine was that it seems like it would fit in perfectly in Sumeru, almost too perfectly in fact.

Ikrr it sounds so weird

Oh my god, great point! Now that I'm running Nilou as my Sumeru main I'm embarrassed that didn't occur to me!

I'm sure this has come up in other fantasy stories that I'm not aware of but this exact idea was actually used in the Eragon books! The elves live in tree houses that they make by singing to trees in the Ancient Language, encouraging them to grow in certain ways.

Speaking of singing... happy cake day to you, happy cake day to you,....

Thank you 😄
