I am making a rough world map for the staliens home planet atm and it's been a lot of me going wee yay yippee :D until the mountains hit
#rat rambles#oc posting#eternal gales#Ive been doing a lot better than the last time I tried doing this tho!#starting with tectonic plates rly does do wonders#I mostly wanted to go for a planet with two main strips where most of the landmasses are streched out connected by one of the poles#in my minds eye most of the longer strip still are fairly well connected from a societal standpoint with most of the broken apart#landmasses in the area still being close enough that oversea travel isnt particularly arguous and the seas are potentially shallow enough#that some of the deep underground cave systems this planet have are still fairly in tact if not a bit flooded#the cave systems are of course doomed to be the most bullshit part of my worldbuilding but shhhh lets pretend#now the continent that the main cast live on isn't part of that main land chain but the base of it is close enough to one of the poles that#its possible that one could travel from one pole to the other and then to that continent while traving mostly by land#itd be incredibly ill advised but you sure could theoretically do it#theres also some miscellaneous islands but Im going to be mostly ignoring them for now#mostly because I dont think the exposed energy veins that staliens need to be created would be present there#so while theoretically staliens could sail to those places it's probably be impossible to set up shop there long term#unless the herd in question has like a massive oceanic based migration cycle going on with a fairly large intake population#basically an important element of a herds migration cycle is being around when spawning grounds are active#so the longer the migration cycle the more sub herds the herd will typically have#either that or multiple seperate herds will use similar or the same cycle#so typically migration cycles are based in relatively small and hospitable radiuses with two or more herds/sub herds per region#as Ive mentioned in the past staliens tend to develop quite differently based on their environment during development#which is how these sorts of arrangements work out as the different groups tend to be specialized for different things#so staliens born in hotter environments will generally be specialized to thrive in said environments#this is a big part of the reason why most societies generally dont fight over territory often as its borderline necessary to share#migration maps in order to maintain stable migration cycles and population sizes#staliens are some of the largest comsumers of energy in most ecosystems and as such when theyre not around most of that overflow goes#into spawning more staliens which is in fact usually how these overlapping herds form but even if the original herd did have those guys#wait to be picked up and assimilated into the main herd then the same thing would happen in the region next time they left#so eventually the herd will have to either break apart into sub herds or just let new herds form to manage those spots when theyre gone
