EXTRA LORE
In Tales of Nevriande, we allow members to create their own lore or ask questions specifying certain lore mechanics in our roleplay universe. Any of this information be written and stored here as an information resource. Anything from very niche, specific questions to broad general concepts that can't be found in the other sections on this site can be found here, and members can request that the admins write, explain and elaborate here! This information is organized into general categories to explore.
The Kingdom & Villages
Wedding Proposals - Each village has their own symbolic means of proposing marriage to their partner(s) of choice, though this is a more stereotypical thing and various methods and symbolism can be mixed and used.
Skyheimr - necklaces.
Wolf's Bluff - bone items.
Riverstead - painted stones.
Bear Hollow - wooden carvings.
Honeyreach - amber jewelry.

Realism
Semi-Realism Guides - I've compiled a list of examples and guides to semi-realism to help plan designs! Click here
Singing - Howling and roaring can be considered a form of singing but it is not always considered singing! Just like how talking can be normal or melodic, charactes in Nevriande can sing traditionally with their speaking voice or via animal noises.
Medicinal - The level of medicine in ToN is very dependent on the character and their resouces and opinions. Some may believe in more refined chemical tinctures while others may be more fond of naturalistic solutions. A complete guide can be found here (tba)! Small minor surgeries are possible, typically left to felines with more dexterous and pointed claws.
Kissing & Stuff - While we DO NOT allow any type of nsfw roleplay, these animals are still adults and have relationships with one another. The canon description of kissing when it comes to the creatures of this roleplay is as follows; Lips gently parted with the tongue poked out slightly, just beyond the front teeth. Animals will bring their tongues together to act as a sort of pursed lips touch. When it comes to mating, all uncomfortable / forced breeding anatomy is considered non-existent in this universe.
Other
Illness & Sickness - There are strains of illness that are known to spread through Nevriande depending on the season. Pathogens are most active in winter months. Most are non-lethal if one is able to take good care of themselves, though immunocompromised, young or elderly animals are susceptible to succumbing to the fatigue and famine that comes with the flu.
Denfever - Canine - Symptoms include fever, weakness, sneezing, dizziness, fatigue, overall flu-like symptoms.
Whisker Flu - Feline - Symptoms include fever, insatiable cold chills, whisker sensitivity, fatigue, muscle weakness, coughing.
Moonmadness - Canine & Feline - LETHAL IF LEFT UNTREATED - Symptoms include blood-shot eyes, paranoia/delusions, excessive drooling, aggression, insomnia, tremors, violent and/or catatonic states.
Can only be treated by a rare orange bioluminescent fungus known as "Amberglow" that grows in underground caverns. It is very rare and kept in reserves in Skyheimr.
