  • Three hundred thousand years ago, a great and terrible organism arrived in the known world. With its spread, a mass extinction occurred on the prairies of Ni'Khar. The following harvest of flora and fauna brought leopards, hippos, and humans, and was the last full harvest before the portal was trapped by the First Children.
    Songs of the Inland Sea is the sequel to Tales of Kaimere! It is a nautical anthology, with all six short stories and novellas taking place in aquatic settings. There are heists on a ship, a desperate chase through a marsh, and a survival story from the perspective of a killer whale!

    Ok, but can we take a moment to appreciate how metal 'Last full breath of a Free God' is as a title? Cuz these people live in a world where their lives are shaped by beings that are effectively their gods! The portal killed them and then remade them for it's own purposes and this was the last time a harvest went its way before its children turned upon it

      Makes you wonder if the door will deteriorate over time. Sure for now it is secure, but since nobody knows how the darn thing works I doubt they preform maintenance on it. Now given The First Children it would probably take thousands-if not tens of thousands of years for that to happen. But for a being(s) that lives on a time scale of millions that not be too bad.

    Its really interesting how kaimeran humans domesticated cats and dogs independently of earth humans. It makes me wonder, what kind of creatures have been domesticated by kaimere's non-human sophonts? With hominins being the only kaimeran sophonts who didnt originally evolve there, surely the sophonts who first evolved in kaimere have had a long time to domesticate unusual creatures.

    When people think of the destructiveness of invasive species, they think of predators like the Burmese Python in Florida or swarms like Rabbits in Australia but few things can impact an ecosystem like an alien plant. When invasive plants out-compete native ones, entire food chains may starve.

      Depends on the reptile. I didn't get a chance to draw a nile crocodile, but hope to include that if I get a crocodile episode. Most lizards on the prairie are from this harvest, which would have been good to include

      Note: Are there any fully aquatic crocodilians extant in Kaimere?

    This turned out fantastic! The number of species that became part of the Houze prairie, whether they migrated from Kairul or harvested from Africa, is impressive. Knowing that some species I hoped to be found on the prairie, such as the acacia, warthog, and honey badger, are doing well or well enough. A giant lion thriving on the prairie before the Uktan arrived was honestly the most surprising thing to me, along with a species of rhinoceros. Keep up the fantastic work!
    A few questions:
    1. What reptiles from the harvest managed to find success or go extinct in Kaimere? Reptiles such as leopard tortoise, Nile monitor, rock python, Senegal chameleon, or West African crocodile, for example.
    2. In the video, you mentioned that African forest species are either extinct or critically endangered. Which ones would be those critically endangered?
    3. Aside from the Giant Buffalo, did any other species from this harvest find their way to Kairul?
    4. Did any other small cats, such as caracals, African golden cats, and servals, manage to find success in Kaimere, or did they go extinct?

And as an aside, there is *so* much I've learned from browsing Homesteading and Permaculture about different plants, fungi, and bugs that it seems a series on Kaimeran agriculture would be an excellent dive in between species and biomes.

    It's no surprise that the Pleistocene African Harvest was so successfull in term of introduction !
    The Portal harvested animals from a place from Earth very analogous to the Houze Prairie, and the part of the Houze Prairie being an complete open door to Ni'Khar continent as a whole mean that the species intorduced were able to exit directly the Known World and established directly in the stable region beyond the Known World, which it is unstable.
    In addition that most of the pre-Harvest fauna in the Prairie was low in number to being recent arrivals from Kairul and not yet in a good number.
    The introduction of these African species prevent more Kairulan species to established on the Houze Prairie range on Ni'Khar !
    It really what we can call to be at the good place at the good time ! X)

    8:02 One of the numerous species of Gazelles Antelope living in the Houze Prairie in Modern Times is called the Eshim !
    The Eshim is a recent migrant from Earth, sharing a common ancestor with the Cuvier's and other North African gazelles.
    They are one of the few bovids that can digest the harsh houze grass that dominates the prairies, enabling them to thrive when other members of their family cannot. Given the height of the grass, they are very prone to stotting, leaping high to signal warnings of predators as well as to keep track of one another. As it can inhibit fleeing, they avoid dense stands of grass. Their fur blends with the color of the flaxen houze grass, an indicator of their reliance on camouflage when they do venture into the dense grass to feed.
    The Dolani hunt them for their meat, and their grace and speed has made them a popular symbol in nomad clans.

      Thanks! I considered drawing a giant lion but was short on time and since they're extinct it wasn't as much of a priority as for example the rhino or kundi. Honey badgers aren't any bigger than their Earth counterparts. Might have slightly longer legs for more efficient travel but they're not any sort of dominant. If I get a sponsor for the tiger I'll talk about them but nothing has changed since I talked about them in the Big Cat episode.

I just imagine the hilarious scenario of a group of the dromies coming across a sleeping ratel. One goes and pokes it, the ratel wakes up and does its whole honey badger shtick, then one of the dromies Lunges at it, and the ratel swings around and bites onto its face, where then all hell brakes loose with the cockatrice squaking, screeching, and leaping around with the Honey Badger dangling from its face!

    BTW You mentioned a giant rhea going extinct during this harvest. Are there any smaller rheas left or have they gone extinct too? I'm only asking because of what you said in your Terror Bird video that the Harkundi was harvested along with their rhea prey.

    • @TalesofKaimere
      @TalesofKaimere  10 месяцев назад +5

      1. Okapi indeed failed to outcompete the resident browsers, in no small part because this was a stable ecosystem and most of the flora wasn't easily digestible to them, so they couldn't push out the resident browsers.
      2. Common hyenas being used to the houze grazers, which were much more common than the zebra and wildebeest spotted hyenas were used to, was a significant mark in favor of common hyenas. Common hyenas are also larger and better adapted for endurance (both are adapted for endurance but the commons are better at it) which helped a lot. Both species are socially complex and live in large matrilineal groups, so no major difference there.
      3. The wildebeest live in large herds, but have to follow houze horse herds if they're going to get enough food, so are extremely dependent on these mixed species groups.

    • @dudotolivier6363
      @dudotolivier6363 10 месяцев назад

      I think Elasmotherium and his subfamily, Elasmotherinae, have zero chance to be present, at least inside the Known World.
      Elasmotherium, all the species in it's genus and close relative were cold-temperate animals. The Megaloceros Prairie Elk is a pretty good case that such animals from such biome can adapt to a such warm and somewhat arid biome like the Houze Prairie, but that still more or less a rare exception.
      Also because megaloceros was a deer, and deers are way more adaptive and generalist than rhinos are.
      They were also open-space grazer animals, like a White Rhinoceros in a steppe-toundra biome, and the Stephanorhinus Houze Rhino here is mainly a grazer and already fit this niche, and actually fit the niche that the White Rhinoceros fit on Earth.
      (White Rhino was harvested but failed to established, and it Stephanorhinus that managed to make it instead and fit its niche).
      It's also impossible for Elasmotherium or a relative to fit a Black Rhinoceros niche on the Hoze Prairie.
      Because as said in the video, Black Rhioceros and most forested animals don't managed to make it. And the Houze Prairieis almos complete pure savannah, and not savannah with frequent areas of bushes.
      Because the Black Rhinoceros is a browser, eating bushes and low trees vegetations, hence why the Black and White Rhinos end up coexiting togethers in Africa.
      As said, Elasmotherium was a grazer, so cannot fit a Black Rhino niche, in addition that the Houze isn't made proprely to allow a Black Rhino-like animal to live.
      But the biggest point to remember is that any Elasmotherium species coincide with an Harvest in term of location, being found in Middle Eurasia, and not in Europe or Southeast Asia where Harvests occured.
      And the Elasmotherinae other taxa Fossil record during the Pleistocene is low, rare, scarce and messy.
      So, whatever on the Houze Prairie or in the Highland of Arvel, it extremely low, if just impossible to have a Elasmotherium or relative.
      Maybe in egions outside the Known World, but not inside it.

    I realized that as this harvest reached a bit of the Southern Europe, cave hyenas, cave lions, cave bears, aurochs, and more fauna from the Mediterranean could’ve been harvested. Speaking of which, as you said that bokodu fossils have been found in the Known World, were bokodu one of the animals that went with Houze grass from Kairul to the Known World during this time?

    • @TalesofKaimere
      @TalesofKaimere  7 месяцев назад +2

      It's possible. Though most of the harvest was concentrated in North Africa (around 90%), there was still some reach down to central Africa and southern Europe. That's likely the point of origin of the kaimeran aurochs for example, though that will not be finalized until the bovine episode.
      As for bokodu, probably not. Bokodu males often venture out to the prairie to feed and travel between female populations, though as males alone cannot establish a population, the giant entelodont has only ever an occasional stranger to the region. Females prefer to be in forests or wetlands, or at least have some ground cover especially for their young.

      Considering the Natodomeri lion came to Kaimere weighing as much as 750 pounds, getting to half a ton with competitive pressures and an increase in the size of their favored prey certainly seems reasonable. Would certainly count as a vassal predator, though would be prey even to the 2-4 ton megaraptorans of the prairie at the time.

    The Spotted Hyena still managed to established on Kaimere, but earlier by its Cave Hyena subspecies which come by the Europe/Northern Eurasian Harvest there almost 805-770 kya.
    This animal in only found in the Highland of Arvel.
    The Spotted Hyena was introduce on Kaimere a second time in this Pleistocene African Harvest, by its current living African form, both on the Houze Prairie and Pakardia, but failed to established.

    I like and agree completely on the aspect to display actual real-life pictures/photographies of the (african) animals that have established and that lived as well current on Earth in Africa.
    Given that these animals/species are real in reality, and the same species both on Earth and Kaimere (or completely identical physically for some despite being new young apart species), using typical picture that everyone can find and take on Google Image is better and clever rather than getting tired and wasting time drawing new illustrations for each ! :)
    If you have the exact same species (or almost identical in appearance, like in the same genus or sister or direct daughter species) in your setting that currently live in reality on Earth in Modern Times, and that there pictures of it made by people and easily accessible online, why not just taking them ?
    Like that, this saves a lot of valuable time ! X)

    8:02 The Atlantic Gazelle, Gazella atlantica, is (on Earth, in real-life) a extinct species of gazelle of the genus Gazella, the namesake and type/main genus of Gazelles antilopes.
    The others type are Eudorcas (Thomson's gazelle's genus) and Nanger (Dama gazelle's genus).
    On Kaimere, this species is still living, while on Earth, it's extinct.
    On Kaimere, most Gazelles found throughout the Houze Prairie are from either from Gazella or Eudorcas.
    With few others from others genus, but in a low degree.

    Note ! The Kaimeran Lion's distribution range was edited since the "Big Cats of Kaimere" episode, with the part which cover Pakardia being now an historical range. Meaning that lions were present on Pakardia before, but are no more on it in Modern Times.
    Lions were directly replicated on Pakardia as well as on Arvel (on the Lowland) and Ni'Khar (on the Houze Prairie), alongside the African Spotted Hyena and Leopard, but the Lions and Spotted Hyena quicly become extinct on Pakardia some time after their replication, while the Leopard get success.
    Today, and as currently, Kaimeran Lion are present in all the Lowland of Arvel, Qajar and most of the Southern Island. But Pakardia isn't no more part of their range in Modern Times.
    The part that include Pakardia still present in the Assembly description of the species due to being still a previous range in which they still have lived once and before this specific population was present until very recently.
    But some updates should be neccessary to avoid some confusion, just the Assembly currently haven't many time to made them.

      Most likely. The interrupted harvest for example took a tremendous number of Pleistocene megafauna from Earth but wasn't able to replicate them all, and this was at a time when many animals were going extinct on Earth. The portal almost certainly harmed the populations if not outright taking the last in some cases, only to not be able to replicate them as the whistling door was constructed.

    • @dudotolivier6363
      @dudotolivier6363 10 месяцев назад +1

      In Tales of Kaimere universe, either Kaimeran are regarded as a apart species, which still descend directly from Homo sapiens (so our own species), or either a subspecies of Homo sapiens.
      In the last case, that will mean that Homo sapiens is composed by two subpecies, the earth subpecies (Homo sapiens sapiens), and the Kaimeran subspecies (Homo sapiens kaimeriensis).
      But as Keenan as said, there no definitive consensus about their classification. But it either these two scenarios for sure.
      Also, whatever happen, it change nothing that kaimeran descend more specifically from the very early first Homo sapiens members, aka the Primordial Black People, which are the common ancestor to Modern African Black people and all others varieties/morphs (aka races, but race is a term for artificially breed of animals, not natural variations).
      Hence why almost all Kaimeran have normal to very dark skin over almost all their entire species as a whole.
      In real-life, Homo sapiens, due to being a extremely very young species (only around 300,000 years, which on a geological time would be yesterday), haven't yet developped subspecies, but already numerous varieties/(color)morphs/races.
      The fact that all these varieties interbreed frequently between them slow the processus of subspecies apparition, but the fact that subspecies will one day come for sure it something that will happen one day for sure, but not before a long time, way after our own deaths.
