The Aeta were the first people to settle the Philippines about 30,000 years ago. They live primarily on northern Luzon. They possess incredible knowledge of medicinal and other useful plants.

Northern Island: Sky's promise Prologue 

I take a few steps up before opening my eyes. Everything was a scattered memory to me. I was sleeping in the shed with my friends, and the next, I’m in a forest dimly lit by the moonlight. 

“Where am I? How did I get here?” I stop and look around to see if anyone else was around. No one. Just then, my fur stands and my ears perk back. Normally at times, I would feel fearless and not an ounce of fear would overwhelm me. But this was different. Every gear within me stiffened, and my steam ran cold. I turned my head slowly and my eyes widened from shock and fear. 

Behind me, was a dark silver wolf with beaming red eyes the color of blood. It’s teeth was sharp as needles and the color was similar to black obsidian.  It’s claws dark and covered in shadows. 

“W-What are you?!” My mind races with so many questions but my only instinct is to run. I turn my head back around and run the other way. From a distance, I could hear the wolf running after me. With every step I took, I would feel myself getting farther and farther away from the dark silver wolf. I perked my ears back to hear if the wolf was still behind me. All I could hear was the silence of the forest. I look behind me and see no one. I slow down my pace but before I could stop, I fall off a cliff and land in dark water.  I get up in pain and hold my shoulder. 

“Okay, that hurt!” I get up and get a look around at my surroundings. The trees are now glowing in the moon light and I can see the moon more clearer now that before. 

“Come my little one, and I will show you the way back”, A voice said to me. I don’t know what came over me, but I started to walk to an opening close to the water. I push away the branches and leaves and see a geat big pond down the hill. Down below, I see a pure white wolf, her eyes a glowing silver. I walk down the hill and come close to the wolf. 

“Who are you?” The white wolf smiles and floats up. She floats back to the pond and walks on the water. 

“Your Journey, is about to beguin, little one. Follow the light and you shall never know the darkness that lies in wait.” The white wolf steps forward and light comes from the pond and blinds me. All is darkness after that.

Two People Of the Midnight Sun guarding a snared hare against a juvenile sunsinger, a wolf sized mustelid that lives as an ambush predator and opportunistic scavenger in the arctic tundra and gets its name from the male's yowling calls during the springtime breeding season.

These people primarily manufacture small knives for skinning prey and bloodletting their host animals, and do not have weapons capable of dealing with large predators. Their primary defense in this situation is the tried and true predator mitigation strategy of puffing up and making a lot of noise. Like their caelin/delkhin relatives, polar caelin have gular sacs that amplify their calls, primarily used for long distance communication and song but also adequate for making a general cacophony.

This sunsinger physically outmatches its foes by a long shot, but is hesitant to get any closer to a pair of loud, unfamiliar, and seemingly fearless opponents, and quite frustrated about this whole situation. It will most likely walk away from this confrontation hungry rather than risk a physical altercation, particularly when reinforcements from these people’s clan hear all the yelling and come to dive bomb the shit out of it.

Ga'ga karisu, Saipan Reed-Warbler (Acrocephalus hiwae) is a critically endangered species found in the Northern Mariana Islands. Though few remain due to habitat loss, they fill the air with their rich melodic songs in those places where they can still hold on.

Their closest relative, the Nightingale Reed-Warbler of Guam, is extinct due to habitat loss and the invasive brown tree snake.

you Will read 3d workers island. it’s so detailed and rich. it captures an atmosphere of old internet rumors and creepypasta very well WHICH ties into the narrative’s themes of what outsiders see/don’t see in familial abuse situations + interpreting media and seeing a reflection of one’s experiences

i love the open-endedness about what is real or fiction. it works thematically whether you choose to see the creepiness as real or a rumor, whether the program is alive or not. i also love that even if nothing nefarious is there it’s still meaningful to the people who see themselves in amber

“For Dragon Age: The Veilguard, among many reasons why we moved to Northern Thedas is it becomes a little bit more of a clean slate for us. There's not as many decisions you have made up to this point that have an impact on what's happening in Northern Thedas. And we don't have to speak directly to things like who is the Divine? Because again, that's happening in the South" Northern Thedas regarding everything that has happened over the last 20 years:
