Sanctuaries of Timber and Stone: Castles of Kaimere
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 дек 2022
- As most settlements in Kaimere are fortified, one would be forgiven for assuming the known world was in a state of perpetual conflict. In truth, there have only been a handful of military engagements in the past few centuries, each fairly isolated. Why all the castles? The answer is that the known world has plenty of beasts too large and dangerous to be held off with personal weapons, and the peoples of Kaimere converged upon similar weapons and fortifications to fend off monsters.
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!

One of the iconic shadiversity question has been answered "What about castles?!". Now we wait for "What about dragons?!".
It’s on the list!
@@TalesofKaimere dragons are dinosaurs because feathers remain that an mutated by magic, 4 legs an a pair of wing?
@@skistorm739 I'm pretty sure one of the previous videos, that 1 topic per day month, already hinted at dragons, stemming from early Devionion to Permian creatures, although still with the same 4 limb structure. A mutation to cause extra limbs in itself is pretty rare, now extra functional limbs, that's almost unheard of.
Edit: 10:48 I... Nevermind, multi-limbed dragons are a thing... Well at least mine was a reference to the "naturally" evolved dragons oof...
I’m surprised that more active defensive systems aren’t used to deter large animals, like how beehives and peppers are used to deter elephants, and cacti fences used to deter lions and other big cats.
Maybe Kaimerans haven’t figured that out yet
Yeah, but in land of scaled giant dinossaurs, this may be not so usefull.
It's hilarious to think of a Hukolgur bursting into a pantry and getting wasted, flopping around, braking shit and passing out.
Haha yeah
Living in world where sauropods still exist is definitely something else. And of course the hukolgur which seem to enjoy destroying everything quite a bit. Ring towns are definitely a clever solution to minimize potential attacks.
Absolutely! It doesn’t prevent all attacks but can definitely act as a deterrent for most cases!
Finally, we get to see the architectures of Kaimere. I think that this does explain a lot, Hukolgor and Qotar especially, and the Titans... Although, how can a Zentaur take these beasts down is something I would definitely love to watch.
And finally we do arrive at the Elasmosaurs of Kaimere. This is the second marine reptile of Kaimere we do get to know.
Indeed! Big herbivores are a much greater problem for settlements with significant food stores.
@@TalesofKaimere Oh no! These are not peaceful creatures one bit. Qotar kills humans more than anything else in Kaimere, Titanosaurs are just another scale compared to anything else, And Hukolgor are just huge enough to terrify... What's not terrified of them in Kaimere again? Wojun are just nightmarish even for sloths!
Jack Sparrow's response to 5:35 - 5:48
"Hide the Rum!!!!"
I love that we’re getting into the medieval fantasy aspects of this amazing world! I can’t wait for the next video!
Thanks!!
I really like the architectures style and design of all these !
The Nerotan one look really european medieval and the White Scorpion Castle have really asiatic vibes on it !
That give really a sensation of fantastic medieval feeling, with the pterosaurs alongside them that act as dragons !
4:16 I really love the Trophic Levels panel that you already use in the previous episode !
That made an overall so clear idea of which place and ecology each creatures fitt !
Hope that you will made several others for almost all the others biomes of Kaimere !
Heck Yes! We love a good castle!
Honestly my brief stint in playing ARK: Survival Evolved is what taught me the importance of walls in an area with any kind of titanosaur. Because brontos can and will mess up your entire day (and your crop plots) just by taking a stroll. I'm also incredibly glad that I didn't decide to put any kind of large burrowing creature anywhere on Uthir because hot dang, Hukolgor... arrreee terrifying! Respect the Sloths.
11:54 I love this shot and I love the idea of some large pterosaurs roosting on the castle
I love war in world-building. Could you talk about some famous wars and battles in kaimaire's history?
It’s a topic I’d love to unpack!
@@TalesofKaimere * Children Cheering sound effect with confetti in the air *
I was wondering if after your next week’s video on the elasmosaurs could you perhaps touch on horses in Kaimere? I have always been curious about how horses came and survived on a planet full of dinosaurs and other megafauna
Unfortunately my next episodes are booked through most of January but I would love to talk about horses and equids in general at some point! Lots to cover.
Kaimere Architecture!! 🤩👍🏯🕌🛖🏛️🏭🛕🏰👏😍 Also wacky Wild Zherok!! 🧙🤯😱🐉
Walled settlements can often have a lot of thematic importance in writing As well as being important to the overall lore. Attack on Titan and Avatar The last Airbender are examples of this. I’m excited to see what you do with this in your future writings!
Also, I cannot express how excited I am for the elasmosaur episode! Ever since that piece of art, came out with the one battling the horned kraken I’ve had near infinite questions! It will be a nice way to start off my winter break! (wish me luck on finals lol)…
Well, in Nickelodeon Avatar universe, they just took the real life medieval/feodal/Renaissance buildings from past Asia, so it's more cultural depictions and tribute than they own things inspired by it.
As for Attack on Titans, building are quite sober in everything, being background and scenery to be destroyed.
Only the Great Walls that protect humans and protagonists are apart and of a strong importance in the show.
Plus, they are all pretty basic settlement and mote took from real life as cheap assets to fitt the world.
@@dudotolivier6363 I was more so referring to the themes behind the walls. That, being turning a blind eye to the struggles of the outside world, or there, being some sort of barricade, preventing characters from achieving true freedom, or something along those lines. But in general I agree.
@@Nigel_BC Yeah, my too on yours, we have all right.
It's especially the lastest seasons with the story going into another continent on which live people who are the responsables for the Titans existence and problems that the symbolics become more numerous.
(Because, to compared, if I have a problem of rodents in my house, and that I discovers that it's my direct neightbour that send them to my house for bullshit reasons that harass everyone. I will be very, very upset. For once, I understand Eren on this one !)
Awesome, it’s nice to hear about kaimereian human history and culture! I also see that the qotaur has gotten a redesign, which looks amazing. Great work Keenan, you should be proud of yourself.
Thank you!! It was a ton of fun to work on (both the castles and the qotaur)
@@TalesofKaimere You’re welcome. It’s always so much fun to see your hard-working ideas. I’m actually going to get your books this week. Can’t wait to read!
Also I’m so looking forward to the Elasmosaur video! It makes the wait more rewarding!
Heck yeah!!
Ok first
4:40 WORLD STAR!!!!!
Second
9:51 Interesting to think they “grew there walls” and weaved them for strength. Awesome concept and it makes sense.
This went so hard bro. I like hearing about the history of the humans and how they adapt to the world, love your stuff mashallah
Thanks so much!!
Ooh, now I'd like to see a video about how kaimerans fend off the larger megafauna. A mere spear may be enough for an azhdarchid, raptor, or big cat, i imagine something more is required for the likes of megaraptorans and such. I imagine cavalry with massive lances are crucial to slaying such a colossal man eater
Would be a cool episode to be sure!
So thinking through the implications of needing to wall in basically all settlements, does this set a fairly high 'floor' size for settlements in Kaimere? Building, and maintaining, these sorts of fortifications (big enough to deter a sauropod) is labor intensive, so it seems to me that any successful settlement would have to be at least large enough in population to make these feasible, otherwise they get trampled by the next titan that wanders through or what have you.
Absolutely. There’s a big incentive to live in fairly large tight-knit communities without much reliance on the outside world, hence why Pakardia and the gardens of Arvel and Ni’Khar are so decentralized
Absolutely loved this episode. Really well covered topic. Do the fortifications sometimes still get targetted by angry Titans??
Thanks! And yes, titans are often deterred by trenches and walls but not always.
Saw this video when you first posted it. Great lore as ever. Have to ask since I read about it recently; do Kaimere's have an analogue to Roman concrete or direct knowledge of the material from the Assembly? Did the First Children? I ask because I read recently what is believed to be an explanation to it's longevity, a non-homogeneous mixture of limestone chunks in the material which would dissolve and recrystallize when small cracks formed while in the presence of water. I can only imagine what benefit this would have in a humid climate like the known world or how it might have augmented the building capabilities of the First Children in the construction of their cities, the Celestial Wall or the settlements in Arvel beyond Qajar, or how the Empire might use it in maintaining their own walls around their borders. I love your work and can't wait to see what subjects you cover next. Really looking forward to the rest of the series on Pterosaurs.
Thank you for working so incredibly hard to make the absolute masterpiece that is kaimere
Thank you!!
Keenan Taylor's Social Accounts post's descriptions :
- 5:08 : Although wojun are generally herbivorous, the winter months often see them turn to scavenging and even predation, and acclimation to settlements can result in man-eaters.
- "Titan Demolitionist" (1:11, 5:50) : Common titan, upon seeing a fortified town: “And I took that personally.”
- 5:36 :
This is his third barrel !
After following his nose, a hukolgur breaks down the wall of an Arvelith ring town and finds a festival within. Ignoring the panicked crowds, he makes straight for the tuns of ale at the heart of town. With 10-inch tusks and jaws strong enough to dislodge stone, it is easy to crack a stave of a tun and gulp down the contents. Since he won't drink them dry, he will go through several of these containers before filling up and passing out.
- Keep of the White Scorpion picture : Castle of General Tikah, marshal of the expeditionary forces of Utkubmit.
- 1:18, 4:01 : A ‘ring town’, conventional fortified settlement in Kaimere. While there is plenty of regional variation in size and materials, where people live with dangerous megafauna, this is the standard design, complete with at least one ditch and a wall which also acts as living quarters.
- Hulkogur and Qotaur picture (4:39, 10:38) : A hukolgur and qotaur, both monstrous bulls in their prime, clash in a testosterone-fueled rage. They don't fight to kill, but they fight often. These two individuals have overlapped in territory for several years, with the sloth in the foothills and the thescelosaur ruling these valleys, and most of their scars are from previous engagements with the other. For them, it’s on sight. They evolved to occupy the same niche on two continents, and while the qotaur remains more common in Ni'Khar and the hukolgur dominates Arvel, there is plenty of overlap in their ranges since both are proficient swimmers, and battles between these two 9-12 ton beasts are a significant factor in the landscape of fear which hangs over both continents.
Honestly surprised the Kaimerans haven't invested more in siege engines.
One would think a ballista bolt or two would be capable of puncturing even the armour of a Titan...
They do, but often sound canons and other auditory deterrents are superior. Unless you’re very confident of a kill, injuring a 60 ton armored animal might just piss it off. They tend to find it best to scare them off.
@@TalesofKaimere maybe I'm showing my hand is an earthling here, but I'm just thinking of the engineer from team fortress 2:
"If you have a problem, use a gun, if that don't solve the problem, use MORE GUN."
@@josephlongbone4255 They also don't have a population for wide-scale industry. Something like a gun would be a novelty, and they certainly aren't able to produce enough ammunition to again reliably kill before it reaches the walls in a rage. Much more practical to scare them off.
@@josephlongbone4255 Also scaring them means you don't have to the clean up a 60 ton corpse
We need more videos about how war is conducted in kaimaire
That would be interesting
I agree
Definitely!
@@TalesofKaimere like shou uses war glanos to seige forrtified structures does any other cultures use other animals for that usage
Of course, all of these buildings are just (relatively) safe place here and here in the wild territories of kaimere and the Known World, to mostly help travelers when they must journey for a reason or another.
Kaimeran have manage to bult large cities, most of them nears or at the borders of the coast.
All of them must be very, very large, almost infinites looking from one signle point that we can't see the opposite limits.
It's in these 100% safes place from wild dangerous animals that most Kaimerans population lived, and in which all of the proper researchs and analyses of the world of Kaimere are made.
And it's in these cities that the most huge, big, large, crazy and majestic looking buildings made by Kaimerans are present !
Since these places only were just hinted to this day, from facebook and social account, I hope that we will someday have an entire episode on these cities who are litterally the base and major heart of kaimeran lives and culture !
I've been curious if you have these videos monetized or if it's just YT's adds. I wouldn't mind not skipping them if the revenue benefits you.
Thank you! I am monetized. Someday I’d love to not have to be but it really does go a long way in helping me make these videos. Appreciated!
A fantasy World where the wildlife is just as dangerous to you than other people, and you have to consider that wildlife when building, AWESOME,
I think you should do something on First Children civilisation's cities and structures.
Did the First Children have automobiles and trains?
Nope, but they had spaceship, flying suit and magical powers, wich is fait enough to compensate XD
A very good topic idea! As Dudot said, they had flying vessels in their later years which made up a bulk of their travel
@@dudotolivier6363 I can understand their saucers for long range travel, but what about local or regional travel?
Their winged suits were in all likelihood for specialists who received infantry and pilot training.
@@TalesofKaimere Them having the equivalent of flying cars seems unsafe/cheesy, with a need or niche for wheeled transport, etc, and water transport is the most efficient form of bulk transport ever, UFOs or not (but they were doubtlessly great as executive or passanger transport).
@@TedShatner10 A lot of their needs/goods were compact and efficiently transported, but they indeed did have ships and land vehicles, especially used more often in their earlier years.
Sorta interesting how ground sloths are basically bears in terms of their niche
Yup! They have that niche on lock there’s only two bear species in Kaimere
@@TalesofKaimere wow in the whole of Kaimere or just the known world?
Random question : Are Seridic Wetland like/analogous the Okanvango Delta of Africa in overall shapes/visuals ?
10:50 can someone tell me which animals the witch emperor use for his familiar? I'm curious
Cool! I did wonder for some time what the buildings on Kaimere would have to look like if they were able to repel threats as enormous as dinosaurs. Big walls and gaps seem to have done the trick but it definitely doesn’t guarantee safety. Also, I noticed that the giant thescelosaur has a slightly updated design. Will you be remaking the video where you covered those rising evolutionary stars?
Thanks, and yup! The parksosaurs aren’t even called parksosaurs anymore (reclassified as Thescelosaurs irl) and most of them are due for an update between my own improvements and some new anatomical features in their anatomy we’ve learned about since I designed them.
hey keenan what some theropod groups that the general public don't know about?
Hey keenan,I already both of your novels and I can't wait to read them.Also what was attacking hukoglor in 4:41.
Twas a zentaur!
Sorry nope that’s a qotaur. Typo!
Magical terra preta
I love these! It's great to see how Kaimerans build as I have been struggling in my mind to see how they build and what they lived in.
Also, "witch kings"?! I just got LOTR goosebumps! And the name Krakenstone screams GOT influence.
Heck yeah! I was very excited to get this topic suggested and sponsored to finally put on paper the more day to day experiences of Kaimerans and how they make it in a world where the sort of megafaunal culling we did here on Earth isn’t as viable.
Neither were intentional references but I like both properties so I’m confident they were inspirational lol
Yeah I guess that makes sense. Honestly living in this place was always a toss-up between walled settlements or towns on stilts and I guess the former is probably more architecturally sound.
Some people definitely have stilted huts but larger settlements are better with walls
Possible video on "Rivalries of kaimere" ?
Would sure be exciting! Plenty of rivalries to cover!
Who else would like to see a (faithfully and properly done) movie or game set in Kaimere?
I personally would absolutely love a movie/tv show set in Kaimere, but two important things:
1) They should let Keenan be involved with the script writing so they don't mess up a story already existing in the books or make something on their own that doesn't fit at all.
2) Keenan should also be in charge of the animal designs and everything should go through him, because knowing Hollywood we can otherwise easily end up with indrakai looking like the Dominion Pyroraptor and the uktan roaring like the JP T.rex.
In terms of games there are definitely a lot of opinions.
I would love that but there would need to be some very careful oversight. I fully acknowledge that there are people in the field who are stronger than me in certain areas, but I’d want the final word on a lot of things. Would be too worried about designs and cultures getting adapted in ways that wouldn’t sit right with me. But the prospect would be fantastic!
@@Andrey.Ivanov Oh totally.
@@TalesofKaimere That was what I pretty much meant when I mentioned faithfully and properly done. I totally understand as I know that if I had a world building project put out there, I too would want to have final say on adaptations on it.
All the spots around the Cresent Sea (Bolondakoi, Chak, Trist and Zardin) are cities, not castle or settlements. Right ?
How large a kaimeran cities can reach (compared to one cities capital from our real life as comparison) ?
What could be very interesting for you is that there is a strategy for warding off large animals here on earth.
Some villages in Africa surround their gardens with beehives. This wards off elephants who are generally afraid of bees. While I see that it might not help against thick skinned giant sloths and the like, it could potentially be integrated in some contexts.
As long as the honey doesn't serve as an extra draw. Maybe some kind of wasp that doesn't produce as much honey or something like this.
That’s a good point! Several folks have mentioned that. There are plenty of scent and auditory deterrents that peoples use to customize depending on the fauna in their region.
Nice, can't be a fantasy without castles and such structures would definitely be a logical choice for living with such prehistoric animals.
Also, how wide and deep would a ditch need to be to keep the titanosaur at Bay by feet or meters?
And a giant ground sloth drinking a whole bunch of beer and pretty much sleeping for days, drunk? That is a funny image!!!
The ideal trench is 2-3 meters deep and 3-5 meters wide. Much wider or deeper becomes more work than is necessary to maintain and can also just become low elevation that is actually easy enough to climb down.
@@TalesofKaimere thank you and, if I may how do you came to the sort of dimensions? I mean, I definitely know you do extensive research to make your world, cultures, and creatures as believable at best. Was there a paper talking about what kind of obstacles sauropods couldn't go to? I am curious because one of my own little projects is if someone did brought back dinosaurs and other extinct species, what kind of precautions and designs and such would needed to keep such species in captivity properly :)
I have remark that most of cultural vibes on Kaimere (at least in the Known World) are mainly asiatic references.
Sure, reference to others cultures are also present too, like the Western and cowboys in the Shu people, or Eskimos people in Khalim people and Kaishel inhabitant Tlaton.
But the Asian overall culture references seem more proeminent than any others real life culture.
So, it's me or it's a on purpose thing ?
Also, btw, it's cool that you follow this trope, that, in a fantasy world, there almost every real-life cultures from medieval/feodal and antiquity times exist more or less in the fantasy world in question.
Like in Genndy Tartakovsky's primal or Genshin Impact for example.
Because that add a lot of diversity, and many inspirations sources that could give many interesting interpretations !
is that a new parksosaur species i see fighiting the hukolgur 4:39 cause damn that looks cool
It's a redesign of the Qotaur
It’s the qotaur in all its redesigned glory!
this is why i wanna see a kaimere creature survival game
@@TalesofKaimere The old one have become a female version or something like that ?
Random Questions unrelatted to the current video :
1 - The Ongulate Terrestrial Pterosaurs on the Permian Islands are (again) Tapejarid or Azhdarchid ? Because if Tapejarid are good for climbing, the reason of their inital success in Modern Kaimere, it's no secret that Azhdarchid are by far the most terrestrial Pterosaurs, and made them better for complete terrestrial flightless forms such the ones of the Permian Island. No ?
2 - The diversity of Azhdarchid in Modern Kaimere is equal or lesser than the Tapejarid ?
Random question :
What killed the Gorgonopsian and Dinocephalian in the first place on Kaimere since the two Permian landmasses are isolated from the others landmasses and Portal ? In addition to have been completely unimpacted by the Tyrant Dynastic Extinction since the Ashe cloud don't covered the permian landmasses ?
Well there was still some impact from the Dynastic Extinction especially in the oceans since many animals of the islands are marine animals and the disruption of the marine ecosystem was pretty devastating. Gorgons and dinocephalians died out in conventional ways: becoming too successful and specialized left them vulnerable to context changes. A generalist is never going to run the show, and specialists are the first to die. Dominant animals are always the most vulnerable
@@TalesofKaimere Thanks for this precision, Keenan !
1. If you were to somehow set up a Ring Town in the middle of the Silent Forest, how effective would it be?
2. Hukolgur after 5 ale vs Zentaur
3. Original question probably got this one shadowed so uhhhhhhhhhh are qotaurs worse than sloths for castle damage?
4. What are the Khalin trying to keep off the island animal wise? The only large predator I remember from the old video was the Moduru unless they don't want Moose or Odaga either.
5. What are the swimming animals at the bottom left of the Celestial Wall?
1. Not very. Silent Ones are efficient climbers.
2. Lol after 5 I think it’s an easy megaraptoran win.
3. I’d say sloths are worse because they’re burrowers. Qotaur have burrowing ancestors but usually just shove down walls. Hukolgur are a lot more thorough in their demolition.
4. More seals and sloths than anything else. Predators are less of an issue than dozens of smelly dangerous megafauna that are tired and irritable.
5. Common titans on the left, kurajaku on the right.
is it possible to get a kindle version of the second book>
Not yet but it’s on my agenda!
@@TalesofKaimere tks, as a student i really am not able to afford to buy the paperback and ship it to my country as it would be about 10% of my monthly income, hope it can come soon
4:43 In your posts, you said that hukolgur and qotaur interact with each other in Arvel and Ni’Khar. In comments of other posts, you said hukolgur are present in Kairul. Speaking of which, are qotaur present in Kairul?
Similar animals are in Kairul but I’m not sure if the qotaur itself is.
@@TalesofKaimere Do qotaur occasionally reach Pakardia?
My biggest question is, how do the ring towns deal with waste? If you've got this big ringed town where everyone is living inside a large, multistory settlement, where do they dispose of their waste? Cause you can't throw it into the communal inner region, and as we see in roman tenant buildings, those higher up tended to just... throw it out the window even when ordinances said otherwise, creating health hazards. Cool video though, digging it thus far.
They do have a plumbing system which pretty simply pumps clean water in one side and pushes waste out the other towards the nearest river system. Food refuse is usually composted in a nearby walled area that can then be brought back to keep the garden fertile. Larger waste that can’t be flushed or composted is brought out of town to a larger waste area
@@TalesofKaimere does this mean they have high risk of waterborne illness with them pumping water in from the same place that they pump waste to?
2 does this mean that settlements tend to expand pretty slowly? If your agriculture is put inside the walls, it seems like expansion would be quite difficult, as you'd have to move the walls, and in this case the habitation areas, in order to grow the space?
Also, how much of a problem are pterosaurs to agriculture in this context? It seems like giraffe sized flying omnivores would be quite a pain if you are trying to grow things, like the crow problem on steroids.
own magic for castle defense, since that's what the First Children intended.
- Four titanosaurs break into my castle.
- "What the homunculus?" As I grab my insect suit and Arvelith gladius.
- Blow a Zentaur sized hole through the first modotan. He falls on the spot.
- Draw my other magic strain on the second Titan. Misses him entirely because it's impure and nails the neighbor's zaydi.
- I have to resort to the Silent Ones chained up at the top of the tower.
- "*silence*" The beasts shred two titans in a pack. The sound and stray individuals alert all life within 10 miles.
- Fix gladius and charge the last terrified kipourotitan.
- He falls waiting for others as magic wounds cause exsanguination quicker.
- Just as the First Children intended.
4:40 and 10:38.
I thing that the parksosaur we have here is a Qotaur. A male version or another second specie ?
It’s a redesign of the old animal.
It's possible that the old design can represent the mother specie or close relative extinct or extant of the Qotaur somewhere outside the Known World ?
The H. Sapiens Kaimerensis appears a bit bow-legged. Is it possible that rapid evolution for more compact bodies led to hereditary bone deformities?
The leg configuration is inherited from needing to climb trees more efficiently
Just for the ones that can ask how tall a wall of a Ring Town can be, the walls have four stories, so with the roof it’s like fifty feet tall.
Enough to alow people to live perfectly all year round !
Absolutely! It depends on the town size and population but typically they are 40-70 feet tall
Random Question :
1 - Are there on the planet some or at least one sort of very isolated Skull Island-like isle ? a 2005-like version more precisely ? with a fauna that almost turn into a nightmarish bestiary over the mya and like if she was at her end ? Would be a great setting!
2 - Btw, have you read The World of Kong : A Natural History of Skull Island book ?
3 - Have you seen the movie "10,000" (2008) by Roland Emmerich ? as possible inspiration sources ?
Not Taylor but there are the Permian Islands which have dragons, so that's pretty awesome.
As cool as the 2005 Skull Island is, I don't think that there's going to be a close analog in Kaimere simply because an island can't realistically support such massive megafauna. I personaly think that Pakardia can be compared to a grounded version of the Skull Island as it has giant apes, some relics (from the time it was part of Kaishel) and many dinosaurs. But even though Pakardia is not a small island the biggest terrestrial carnivore is the oritaku which fully grown is comparable to the adolescent versions of its mainland cousins the zentaur and uktan. Other then that there are some isolated places in Kaimere that have been teased already such as the Permian island, Permian continent and the Jurassic island. Also since we're talking about isolated places and nightmarish fauna, Kaishel is pretty isolated and you know what's going on there...
@@Andrey.Ivanov Not false !
It's fair enough !
Some random questions I wanted to ask at the Dogs of Kaimere video but I was unable to do :
1 - Kaimeran have dogs, which obviousely lives in all these settlements, but are their feral dogs too ?
2 - if yes, these ferals dogs must be a great problem, dangers and nuissance, how kaimeran do against them ?
3 - how high is the level of dangerosity from these pack of feral dogs (analogous to our own feral pack in our cities around the globes) ?
4 - in our real life in asia, leopards in urban areas are known to attack dogs directly in front of their own houses, do the kaimeran used special collars around the neck of their dogs to prevent most of the attack (like asian people do most often to secure their pets) ?
There are plenty of feral dogs or wolfdog hybrids. These constitute one of the most dangerous animals to peoples as they congregate near settlements. Kaimerans often hunt these dogs and some peoples like the Arvelith Qajarith and Shu see them as a source of food.
Am I the only person here watch this video just to see dinosaurs tear down the castle
Haha sorry to disappoint I didn’t have time to draw any demolition
3: 14 two questions actually :
1 - so, homo erectus have only one signle living descendants, the homo altus, who is present on every landmases on kaimeres but divided in several sub-species ? huh. which is the subspecie name for the Tlaton in this case ?
2 - If I remenber correctly, the first children were named H. necropus (or necropsus ?), there was a change ? and if yes, what was the meaning of the orignal specie name ?
Homo erectus has many descended species, including the First Children, Homo altus, peoples of the Eastern continent, Permian Islanders, Tlaton, and a few others. Many different species.
Chili fumes/steam spray as deterrent
👍🏿🤠👍🏿
Did the qotaur get a redesign? It looks more like a giant gogonopsid
And why were parksosaurs changed to thescelosaurs?
Qotaur indeed got a redesign! Never was happy with the pattern of the first one. They are now thescelosaurs because irl that change in classification happened last year.
I guess if a hukulgor raids food supplies, all people can do is let it have its fill? I don’t think much would discourage a determined, hungry sloth. Disturb it and you’re gonna lose a limb or your life!
Yeah there’s not a lot they can do lol
If/when Kaimerean civilization goes through an industrial revolution what effects will it have on the planet and biosphere? Would they be the same as on Earth? Would colonialism arise with one group of people spreading over the planet and subjugating other cultures/species of human? And lastly would this result in the extinction of most large mammals and dinosaurs and manmade extinction event or would the much more dangerous nature of the fauna prevent this stage of society entirely?
That's an interesting question to which I don't know the answer but I'll throw in a few things I think should be considered in this discussion:
1) When we experienced industrial evolution there wasn't a more advanced civilization around to tell us "Hey, maybe avoid making these mistakes when you're going through this stage". Kaimerans however have contact with Earth through The Assembly, so may be that could atleast give them a reason to approach some stuff more cautiously.
2) Kaimerans have prolonged lifespan due to the hereditary magic that they carry so they can't grow in population from 1 billion to 8 billion in 200 years.
3) Kaimere is a bigger planet then Earth so it probably has resources for a bigger human population.
4) Kaimerans don't have to necessarily progress in the same way as we did. Maybe a nation will develop technology based on magic like the first children's civilization and take over the other cultures.
Well, with all the liquid an Holkogur can drink, he must wake up himself the tomorrow with a headache and a hell of a burn having totally forgotten what he did last night XD !!!
No, more seriousely, drunk animals can be very, VERY dangerous and imprevisible ! (ex: Mooses in USA when they eat too many fermented apples).
Absolutely! The people will be wise to avoid that part of town for a couple days. This isn’t unheard of, and when he awakens, he will find a funnel of tables and a line of food directing him out of town
ALGORITHM LETS GOOOOO
someone explain how the tiny first children killed of so much mega fauna during their time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They could use magic for mind control and basically made animals fight each other to death.
@@Andrey.Ivanov so like mind controlled dog fights ;-;
Mostly through their mind control magic but some animals are large enough to tank the magic via their immune systems
@@TalesofKaimere interesting i love how you came up with the "magic" idea and the world building
Does Kaimere have an equivalent of barbed wire?
Yup! That’s what they often use over the openings of ring towns to prevent large flying animals from making land inside the gardens or livestock pens
@@TalesofKaimere Yep, like us on earth to avoid pigeons to poop on our monuments.
Thus castle in Kaimere are all good during kaimerans wars, conflicts and sieges, which are all quite rares events since wars equal numerous losts, and kaimeran have low reproduction, and kaimeran aren't stupid at all, in reality, they are primeraly made to protect them against the megafauna.
Again, the fact kaimeran's biology is such low in reproduction and so long in lifespan that forced them to do everything, efforts and actions to avoid any kind of death, and protect them for themselves in every ways, since kaimeran don't do commonly, even to a rare point, most of our own problems, negligences and stupids actions that cost us so many lives every years !
It's their special biology that irocincally make them so vulnerable o everything that protect efficiently so strongly against themselves, theri own species and people !
Really, I would really like a lot to sponsor an episode too, but I’m European (I live in France), so my money is in Euro, not in Dollars. So I can’t ! It’s sad.
How an European could sponsor an episode despite having euro instead of dollars ?
Can you stop spam random question on every Keenan’s video please? At least, put all in one comment. It’s annoying to scroll down the comment section and find only comments from you stacking on each other
@@kearsargeyt8848 Ok, ok, I will try efforts, but I remind that is my total rights to made them as separated.
Plus, as far I know, it's quick to go up and from top to bottom using the bar on the far right of the screen. to go down and up, you can use that instead of the mouse.
In addition, whatevers the numbers of commentaries I made, that don't does not in any way prevent others from posting their own comment.
But okay, I will made efforts, won't to have problem for a tiny minor issue than anybody speak to me in two years from now.
