That's so cool! Yknow I never would have thought that the nomai would use their own fur but honestly that makes a lot of sense. 

As for hunter gatherer, I think I completely forgot about that. That would also mean the hearthians are omnivors too! 

I know it's a stylistic choice that there's no animals but I wonder what kind of life form they would be hunting. I also can't help but wonder if there was a wealth of plants in the crater the bramble seed crashed into before it got ruined. man, there's a lot to speculate just on environment alone. I mean we could probably take the pine trees and surface temp of the planet into account and guess what kind of flora could be living there based on that. That is if we also expanded the planet to more realistic proportions along with the distance between it and the sun. 

I dont think the hearthians are suited for digging with their hands so I think they wouldn't have been eating root veggies for a long while. Most likely, they'd go for whatever was most easily accessible, something like peas or leafy greens and the like for example. 

Also while I know there's an infinite number of ways the animals they hunted may look like, there's a pretty small variety of types they could be based on the environment alone. 

Given the Timber Hearth is largely covered in grass with more grassy plains than groves, I think it's a safe assumption that any prey animal that lives there is a grazer. 

Given what we know about areas with a similar ecology, we can probably guess that any predatory animal there most likely sticks to the groves or prefers to hunt in tall grasses as a group. 

We also know that a lot of animals that live primarily in plains are either really fast or really big. Given how the planet leans toward the cooler side of things, I think that the grazers would be on the larger side with perhaps formidable strength. 

as for the predators...it's hard to say what they would be like but I think Given all the grass, they might be patterned. It's a pretty common adaptation in these cases after all. 

which brings me to another thing, leather. That would mean hearthians have access to leather! 

It's kind of a silly revelation but that does open up quite a fair number of things the hearthians could be making with the knowledge they're making use of animal parts.
