Religion and Spirituality on Newhome, Part 2
In this exploration, we turn from the pre-existing religions of Newhome to the new ideas and traditions which emerged as a result of the Starfall. Powerful beings from another world... the Draak-Kin... brought many things to their new planet.
The philosophical gap created by the fall of lar...

Religion and philosophy provide a canvas of meaning upon which a civilization may be painted, influencing the thoughts of billions on a daily basis, and these things play at least as powerful a role on Newhome as they do on Earth.
The arrival of the Kin sparked a spiritual renaissance presi...

In the first of our Hierophant species reveals, we will be taking an exclusive deep dive into the Milli'li, pleasure-seeking denizens of the Great Azure Forest. I felt as though the best way to do this would be to share a few recently-published Carnivalian georecs on the subject. I am including t...

Greetings, beloved Dreamers!
Today, we finish our series on the Seven Elders of the Kin. Darktooth the Wise, Many-Times-Burned, and Allmother were given a good deal of time and attention in Golden Treasure: The Great Green, but four other Elders played less central roles. Aside from the Ru...
A dream fulfilled, and the Kin in 中国

Today we continue our series on the Elders of the Draak-Kin Tribe at the time of Golden Treasure: The Great Green. Across the eons, there have, of course, been thousands of Elders spread out over millions of years, though rarely more than seven at any one time, six in practice, since the Ruiner ...

One could be forgiven for wondering what we have been up to for the last month here at Dreaming Door Studios. It is unusual for us to keep our silence this long.

Among those Kin who undertook the Exodus to Newhome, the Onyx Clan was the least represented of the extant Clans of the time. Few were surprised at this; the crusade to purge the No-Tails from the planet was called by an elder of their own Clan, and its purpose... the protection of the world they...

Flexible in both Mind and Body, the Kin of the Garnet Clan have a knack for exploration, discovery, and the collection of rare treasures. Of all the Clans, they tend to be the most adaptable, their slender bodies flowing snake-like through dense foliage, water bodies, and underground tunnels with...

Once the new six-limbed hatchling morphology had been established as normal, interest in attending the births of new Kin waned. Darktooth the Wise, however, had perceived a spiritual difference in one of the hatchlings, and was waiting to greet it when it emerged from its first Great Sleep as the...

In stark contrast to the traditions of the Draak while on Earth, the emergence of the first Kin on Newhome from its speckled Chamber was attended by not only its parent but several others, eager to witness the continuation of their People. Though some were concerned at the obvious morphological d...

A new Earth. New Suns.
The wiser members of the Exodus were not at all surprised when the first Draak-Kin to be conceived and born on Newhome did not directly resemble their parents. The energy of new stars and the Way of a new world gave rise to a new People.
