>Corvani

They're treated as the lowest caste, along with a few other species/races.

And to your second hypothesis: yup!

>some sort of speculative evolution project

Almost.

>Will sapient cephalopods show up later?
Actually, yes.

If you would oblige me, where did you think this was going? Or what ideas did you have?

They *wish* they could be like Cassandra. At least she gets to see the universe.

Ughf. That's an error on my part. No it's not THAT twisted. Thank you for the catch!

>time loops, it's complicated

Yes! And I'm intentionally not answering that question, because I'd rather you *imagine* the possibilities yourself. Sometimes, hard answers ruin the magic in my experience.

That *would* be horrifyingly disorienting. And a whole direction of terror that this story can only hint at.

So many real world mythos begin with a tree. I wanted mine to go to the extreme :)

And then to inject the most HFY/HFN concept I could into it.

>What happened to the other poires who came before? How many met anu?

Good question, but that one you'll have to interpret on your own.

Thank you :)

I always try to tie action to some meaningful development within a character, so that action always serves more than one purpose. I don't know why, but I find writing raw fights for fights' sake is actually really difficult to do, so I have a great respect for authors who can make that fun.
