Runaway to the Stars: Page 158

(Turns to my Patreon audience, the most dedicated RttS fans on the internet) So have y'all heard about centaur clans?

Lmao anyways. This book is written with the expectation that most readers will be completely unfamiliar with setting, which is a good thing, but I do feel silly sometimes writing entry-level lore exposition and then presenting it to Patreon like half of you haven't scoured the RttS tumblr tag back to the first post.

personally i think its really interesting to see what talita knows and how she feels about it vs what has been posted to ur rtts tumblr tag thats from other perspectives or just lore in general !

Now you got me wondering whether Shess and other settled centaurs like to marry in nomads as interpreters!

Despite already knowing about a lot of this, its always interesting to hear Talita talk about it, esp to others. Her relationship to it all is as fascinating as the lore itself.

Hmm, in semi-related worldbuilding stuff, do centaurs tend to assume that nomadic (or nomadic looking, phenotype-wise) centaurs will know at least a bit of whatever language they speak? I could see that being a thing, in a "you pass through every year, you should at least be able to say hello in our language" sort of way.

Love Idrisah asking (from a genuinely caring place!) if Talita’s ever tried picking up a centaur language right after Idrisah herself just talked about how weird and fake it feels to try and learn as an adult a language many people would assume she grew up speaking.

I mean... scoured back to? No... I started at eh first and have been slowly working my way foirward since i found the comic a few months ago. But I'm still only up to the 2018s... there is a lot to read and take in. (Same with the Patreon, I'm trying to comb through them at the same speed.)

Realized recently that I’ve started holding my neck with my hand when I’m thinking because I tried it once after Talita doing it came up in I think an AMA? and it felt nice

I, for one, am a fairly recent member of the Patreon. While I've done some reading of the other stories there, my RttS exposure is 100% limited to what you're putting out here and I really appreciate the lore dump pages because it's all totally new to me. Thank you for the insights!

They're married into the clan. Workers are married in usually for their skills or to strengthen ally relationships with other clans.

Have you read the Three Body Problem series or the Humanity Lost graphic novel?

Erika Spooner

i remember most of this except... married in? like who are those centaurs married to, the entourage or the workers?
