A typical Arekka is 2.5m tall and weighs 50-60kg. They are descended from ground-walking animals and have no ancestry of natural flight; the downy covering is for insulation and display.Tamri wrote:What is the average height / weight Arekka?

Earlier in their history the Nissek aggressively attempted to expand in all directions, and they waged a number of territorial wars against their neighbors, including the Mannadi and Barsam. Their spinward expansion attempts were mostly thwarted by the Mannadi and Barsam, and the formation of the Loroi Union in 1557 formally put an end to their attempts to expand in that direction.Tamri wrote:Nissek expanded towards the people and have been blocked Loroi / Barsam, or they are the wrong way initially not too eager?
Driving along the Loroi-Historian border would be a dangerous strategy, because occupied Mannadi and Arekka territories are not critical to the Loroi war effort, and such an offensive would form a long, narrow salient that could be easily counterattacked by both Historian and Loroi forces anywhere along its length.Tamri wrote:What will take (hypothetically) Umiak, if they manage to drive a wedge into the Union to Mannadi-Arekka space (on the Loroi-Historian border like, well, except that it will effectively mean the defeat of the Union)?
That would depend on the situation; the Umiak haven't declared a clear policy on the subject. The Umiak demanded and received unconditional surrender from the Loroi and Neridi colonies that they overran at the beginning of the war, but then later began extermination of the captured populations.Tamri wrote:What will their actions in the Loroi occupied species?
