Outras Palavras-Chave:
Jogador: job
Saraki: I'm the mountain nagas' maharani. You would call it queen, I guess.
Jogador: name
Saraki: My name is Saraki.
Jogador: time
Saraki: It is exactly horas.
Jogador: asuri
Saraki: The asuri once lived in Marapur, but were expelled and banished from there. Since then they have been trying to return several times. Sometimes a few of them succeed, but they are usually quickly driven away by our warriors and shamans. ...
Saraki: At the moment they apparently try to wreak havoc from the shadows by influencing nagas with dark magic so that they become increasingly animalistic and attack their fellows.
Jogador: son
Saraki: His name is Nihaka. A good child, really, but he has some crazy ideas lately.
Jogador: crazy
Saraki: He's in love. Of course he is, he's a young man and it is quite normal for him to look for a mate. But it's Candra, a young coastal woman, he lost his heart to. ...
Saraki: Don't get me wrong: I have nothing against this young woman and highly respect her father Nilavarna. But a mountain naga and a coastal naga - that's perhaps not the best idea. ...
Saraki: Besides, he even talked about marriage! That's really the crazy idea of a lovestruck child. You have to know, two-leg, that nagas don't form families in the same way that you usually do.
Jogador: coast
Saraki: The coastal nagas live in Silvertides and on the surroundings isles. At the beginning of the period we call 'the Rising', they still made great efforts to push the water back and keep it away from the island. ...
Saraki: In the meantime, however, they have accepted that the water and the land coalesce more and more. They regard it as a part of their lives and even a part of themselves. ...
Saraki: Their connection to water and the sea is incomparably stronger than ours here in Moonfall. Their buildings are now either submerged completely or rise out of the water only partially. ...
Saraki: Nevertheless, these buildings are often still used, and the coastal nagas travel back and forth between them on small boats. There are also paths laid across the water, often made of large lily pads. ...
Saraki: They are floating on the waves easily and at the same time they are stable enough for a naga to glide over them as if on solid ground.
Jogador: families
Saraki: Female nagas lay eggs, but they do not take care of them themselves. Instead, they give them to larger nests for breeding. There, brood helpers take care of the eggs and also of the small nagas when they hatch. ...
Saraki: Our hatchlings become independent quite quickly and reach the stage of a somewhat six-year-old human child after only one year. Then they are sent back to their parents, who take care of their education. ...
Saraki: Or to one of the parents in case they are no longer in a relationship. Which happens quite often, because we rarely form longer, monogamous relationships. Hence my displeasure about my son's thoughts about a marriage. ...
Saraki: The crazy idea of two adolescents - and with someone from the other culture at that. On the other hand ... Hm, such a union could indeed strengthen the cohesion of the nagas as a whole again. ...
Saraki: I guess, if our shaman Vrisaki would give her blessing I would consent to this marriage. Feel free to talk about it with my son, that will do no harm, I guess.
Jogador: silvertides
Saraki: Silvertides is the city of the coast folk. You can find it in the south of Marapur, on one of the larger islands.
Jogador: moonfall
Saraki: This is our city here in the Stardance Mountains. We built it thousands of years ago. It got its name after a story which is very well kown amongst the nagas.
Jogador: stardance
Saraki: A rather poetic name, yes. And with good reason. Of course, there is a story behind it.
Jogador: story
Saraki: Since the beginning of our existence, we nagas have worshipped the moon goddess Amati. She always stood high in the sky, looking down on us benevolently and lighting up the nights. ...
Saraki: Although we love the warmth of the suns, it is the moon that moves the sea, creating the tides. That can charge solid water with energy. That strengthens our magical powers. We think of the moon as a queen and the stars as her many maids. ...
Saraki: But once, in her wanderings across the night sky, Amati took a misstep and fell. She plummeted down, right above Marapur and landed in the Stardance Mountains. Hurt and alone, she didn't know how to get back up into the sky. ...
Saraki: And the stars missed her bitterly. Moon and stars shed many tears and mourned many nights - dark nights, without Amati's light in the sky. But then the stars decided to do something they had never done before: ...
Saraki: They descended from the sky and surrounded the fallen moon. Here, in these mountains, they began a magical dance. And lo and behold, Amati was healed and, with the help of the stars, was able to rise into the sky again. ...
Saraki: This is why the mountains in the centre of Marapur are called the Stardance Mountains and our city Moonfall. For it was at this very spot that Amati had fallen.
Jogador: rising
Saraki: That's what we call it, yes. The rising of the sea level and the flooding of Marapur began centuries ago. But it progresses very slowly, so we are not forced to flee. ...
Saraki: The coast folk down there in Silvertides have strongly integrated the Rising into their culture and way of life. The so-called coastal nagas adapt to living with the water and take advantage of its benefits instead of resisting it. ...
Saraki: We, the mountain nagas, live in the Stardance Mountains that have not yet been affected by the Rising. Because of this, there are some cultural differences, for example in terms of religious customs, diet and lifestyle.
Sobre Criaturas:
Jogador: turtle
Saraki: The two-headed turtle has its name for a rather obvious reason: it has two heads. But otherwise it is a common, albeit very large, reptile. It is aquatic and lives mainly in the large reefs around and beneath Marapur. ...
Saraki: Although it feeds mainly on plants and fish, it can become aggressive and dangerous if you intrude on its territory.
Jogador: moa
Saraki: Moas are large birds with a striking, colourful plumage. Because of their strong legs, with which they can move quickly on land, you might think that moas are incapable of flight. ...
Saraki: In fact, however, they are good flyers and prefer to build their nests in the high mountainous areas of Marapur.
Jogador: parder
Saraki: The parder is a wild cat living here in Marapur. Its fur is of a dark ochreous ground-color, obliterated by a dark-brown blotched pattern on legs and flanks. A dark stripe also runs from the head across the neck and back. ...
Saraki: Be careful, two-leg: Parders prey on humanoid bipeds.
Jogador: makara
Saraki: Makara are native to the waters of Marapur. They look like a cross between a hippopotamus and a seahorse, but are clearly comparable to the former in size. Many two-legs call it a quite unusual creature, as I heard.
Jogador: foam stalker
Saraki: Foam stalkers are elemental water creatures. Here on Marapur they emerge from the spray of waterfalls cascading down from the mountains. ...
Saraki: Since they cannot survive on land for long, they quickly retreat below sea level after their emergence and thus populate the reef caves beneath and around Marapur.
Sobre NPC's:

Saraki: If you want to send a letter or parcel to someone, ask Amra at the post office here in Moonfall.
Jogador: asphota
Saraki: Asphota sells tools at the market of Silvertides.
Jogador: candra
Saraki: She is the daughter of Nilavarna, the coastal nagas' raja. A very pretty girl and also polite and well educated. So yes, I can understand my son's feelings. But she is a coastal naga, after all, so I really don't know ...
Jogador: dhira
Saraki: I'm not quite sure, but I guess he is one of the coastal nagas' beaver keepers.

Jogador: isika
Saraki: Isika sells ammunition at the market of Silvertides.

Saraki: Kaumudi is one of our hatch-mothers. That means she cares for the eggs of all of Moonfall's nagas. You have to know, two-leg, that nagas don't form families in the same way that you usually do.
Jogador: nihaka
Saraki: Yes, that's my son you are talking about. A good child, really, but he has some crazy ideas lately.

Jogador: sissek
Saraki: He is a two-leg but a different kind of biped than you are. Scaly all over, like our lower bodies. He came here from Zao a long time ago. Until then we didn't know what a bank was. But he established one here in Moonfall.
Jogador: sundara
