>>109673430I'm not good at writing big events. My writing style doesn't lend itself to selling events like that as I don't consciously embellish stuff. Maybe in the future I could find the words to do it justice, but for now I suppose the most I can confidently say about the immediate in-world reaction among Hoomanity was celebration and revelry, as well as a temporary moratorium on the ban of works depicting imagery of the Pink One on the condition that Nimi (or whatever the world's name for her is) is featured with equal or greater prominence in such works. Many bakers also left out loaves of bread that night.
The fact that the pink orca was what appeared carries an interesting implication or two. Ignoring the obvious fact that it helps sell the connection between the Pink One, She Who Was Here Before, and orcas in the context of the setting, there's also the matter of what it could mean for the v-fluke orca populations. It isn't my place to dictate what goes on in foreign waters, but perhaps v-flukes have a migratory pattern from the Sea of Scotos to whatever the upper arrow in picrel points to. Worth noting that picrel was made with ship/boat travel in mind, where proximity to land is important. Natively marine life doesn't need nearly as many twists and turns. One hangup with this idea is that the distance may be a bit much, but whales have been reported to migrate in the upper four-digit kilometer range on a regular basis so depending on the scale this may be feasible. There's also the matter of how Hoomans could come to learn this given their lack of large vessels, but that could hypothetically be explained away by corroborating accounts of orcas seen in that gulf from the days of the Republic and putting two and two together.
That also leaves me wondering: has anyone written anything about puffins in Viti? I get the feeling that whatever Nimi's concert correlates to in Viti had a significant impact on their population. I'd be down to mention a large flock of them traveled through /who/ at least with no reported casualties on their or the Hoomans' end.

How much does your nation trade with other nations, neighboring or otherwise? Who are these trading partners, and what is your people's main export?
