Shards repel each other? I don't know if humans have been declared the shards of someone or not but the lack of a shard might make them receptive to mingling with other races.

Same note viscanti are warped and twisted, they were in a way born from the essence of a destroyer who does so by absorbing the essence of what he destroys. Perhaps their children just absorb the traits from their parents, would they have a shard in the same sense as the other races?

Fae also aren't shards so children by them could be possible

I unno, I'm working but maybe saran will finally write another scroll for elo

It's called 4chan.org and you don't want to visit that site

As Eventru said earlier in the thread:



Think of humans as Anti-Illithoids =)

Which are way cooler than those silly insect guys.

Also even as a shard of Yudhe would they not be fundamentally different from both soulless and elders as he was not created by Dynara.

And no offense to Eventru but remember how everyone thought Elfenehoala awoke night?

Quite definitely! I'm not offering any of this up, and have tried to express time and time again, all of it is simply my conjecture.

Anyways, as for humans - I presume they're forged of the same 'immanidivinus' source as Elder Gods (though perhaps in higher concentrate/levels, being one of the three children).

And I didn't mean to say Shards of Yudhe, I meant to say Shards of the Nameless Son of Yudhe. I'll fix that post in a moment. Just throwing out my own personal ideas, and letting you all nibble on them as yuo please! I cannot stress -enough- that it's all simply my own opinion on it, and doesn't have any founding other than conjecture.

Disturbing... what is a mudkip?

So you edit yours, I'll edit mine and we can make any other quoters seem crazy in an attempt to cover up our mistakes?

It's a pokemon.

The Pokemon Mudkip? One of the starters for Ruby / Sapphire.

Can Faeling just get half of the Domoth stuff that Elfen get? It'd make sense. And. And. And stuff.

And. Faeling are half Elfen, half Fae. Which means that, while humans are the first inter-breedable race/specie thing... well...

... actually, I even went and confused myself.

I was going to bring up the case of various hybrids, but, Fae and Elfen aren't subspecies of the same specie.

I guess this is High Fantasy for a reason.

Elfenehoala was an awakener wasn't she? it could predispose elfen to some form of sympathy with the fae. if part of what attracts each elder to their circle is in the way they are connected to the immanidivinus then sympathetic connections could allow for a merger in certain cases, maybe other awakener shards would be possible but I don't think there are any.

I really wish I could remember the story with Ellindel(sp?) and the Fae right now, but, I can't. If I could, I'm sure it'd have some relevant information to provide an interesting theory. ><

Ellindel drew the fae spirits from the ethereal forms and gave them a physical body so that she could heal them because the touch of the soulless had poisoned the world... I think, then Glinshari was taught how to command the forests by them

I hope to god you just googled that and didn't actually KNOW that much about a pokemon

I love you? Don't hurt me?



But they retained that physical form, no? Which is why the two Dancer groups can summon them, and that they're visible in Faethorn?

So maybe, maybe Ellindel had given the Fae physical forms based on Elfen ones? At least down there if they were able to breed with Elfen.

Here's my basless conjecture:

Races cannot interbreed unless they share enough essence from the same divinity.

Humans can mix with other races because all races have a little bit of the Son of Yudhe's essence in them as part of their soul and humans have loads of the SoY (Son of Yuhde) essence.

Viscanti can mix with other races becuase the taint is Kethuru's essence and they have enough of Kethuru's essence in common for it to work.

Illithiods can interbreed with humans becuase Illith had lots of second hand SoY essence from the hundreds of elder gods she ate.

Fae can breed with anything becuase they are nature spirits and share essence with everything that Dynara made.

Faethoids, Faegashos, Fae'dae... very interesting ideas running through my head.

Mudkip. I had actually forgotten it was a starter ^^;; However, the whole "I heard you liek mudkips" Thing was a pretty big meme for a while. I'm not getting into why.

At any rate, there's always the possibility that interbreeding amongst the native races was possible at one time, but no longer is due to changes in the First World. The soulless attacking comes to mind.

Or... Fae can only breed with Elfen, as that's how it's set up (and has something to do with the Nature-tie of Elfen and the Nature Spirits that the Fae are).

I don't know why people are treating illithoid/human breeding as odd though. Humans can breed with any race, so why would you need to make an exception for another shard race? They might not have souls but they are shards
