I could imagine the ancient Loroi eating the hearts or brains of their slain enemies, much like some ancient Terran cultures did and it would not surprise me at all.CF2 wrote:Luck eating rituals confirmed.Arioch wrote: or bizarre (and usually short-lived) tribal rituals.

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
Hey Arioch I had a quick question, I was going over possible lines this story might take and I gotta ask. How dark is the end of this and the next chapter going to get?
Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
How's Arioch possibly supposed to answer that other than "Spoilers!" ?

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
I forget if this was mentioned earlier buttt....
I watched something not too long ago that said Horseshoe crabs have blue blood because they are mostly copper.
Loroi blood is blue, which is why their skin is a light blue.
So, do they mostly have copper in their blood?

Outsider, as written by GRRM:
Page 135:
Beryl and Alex look deeply into each other's eyes as torpedo lock-on warnings blare, painting the cockpit red. In the next panel, the Highland-7 is shown frantically trying to dodge, only to be knocked into a flat spin by the explosion of a near hit. Unable to maneuver, two more torpedoes slam into the shuttle, tearing it apart and sending the lifeless corpses of Alex and company tumbling into the void.
Cut to an entirely new set of characters to continue the story.

Their blood contains haemocyanin instead of haemoglobin hence it's blue. Yes, they are "copper based" so to say.saint of m wrote:I forget if this was mentioned earlier buttt....

Alex knows Beryl and the rest dies, but he survives once again, being picked up just in time by anotehr alien ship, and the story starts anew.orion1836 wrote:Outsider, as written by GRRM Ken Grimwood:

In case of taimat explosion there would be no corpses, they literally vanish in light.orion1836 wrote:Outsider, as written by GRRM: tearing it apart and sending the lifeless corpses of Alex and company tumbling into the void.

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
Do the Loroi have tank or artillery equivalents? Has telepathy shaped their mechanized ground weaponry in any particularly different ways compared to human examples?
Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
Sure, the Loroi have armored vehicles. I don't think telepathy has a particular impact on ultra-tech armored vehicle warfare. Telepathy might give a slight speed edge over radio communication between tanks in battle, but I doubt it's decisive, and range would be an issue in a wide-ranging battle.CF2 wrote:Do the Loroi have tank or artillery equivalents?

Ground forces are discussed a bit here: http://well-of-souls.com/outsider/forum_ground_war.html

Can male Loroi request mating encounters with females the same way females can express a preference for a certain male?
Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
In some circumstances, if the male has sufficient status and influence. I think in a lot of circumstances, males could be allowed to choose from among the available females at his own status level (that is, those who had earned time with a male), but it would take significant influence to arrange being matched up with a female below his own status level, or getting a particular female more male-time than what she had herself earned.Werra wrote:Can male Loroi request mating encounters with females the same way females can express a preference for a certain male?
Some females might be put off by being pursued in this way by a male (perhaps concerned about what her female peers might think, as it could be considered a sign of improper attachment), but others probably wouldn't mind at all.
