Consider, little ones, the Tree-dwellers, the very clay from which I sculpted your form. They do naught but what I permit them to do. They move about, seek refuge, nourish themselves, and beget young according to the passions which I have kindled within them. ...

The yinrih use a dozenal numeral system. The highest place value is closest to the beginning of the line, which means the digits decrease in value going from right to left. The yinrih also use a set of symbols representing orders of magnitude similar to how we...

1. Perch 2. Writing surface 3. Table 4. Drawers 5. Shelves This is the most natural "sitting" position for a yinrih. This piece of furniture, most similar to a human chair and desk, emulates a branch. The drawers and shelves are accessed by the tail and rear ...

Humans have very nimble lips compared to yinrih. We are capable of making an airtight seal with our lips (for all practical purposes, anyway), but a yinrih's chops hang loose like those of a dog. Yinrih drink by putting the tongue in the liquid, forming a spoo...

Yet another possibly non-canon post. A Bachelor's Mantle is an anatomical display structure present in male tree-dwellers who have reached adulthood but have yet to lay an egg. It's a mane of long, flowing hair that starts on the top of the head just ahead of...

human zoologists eventually have to tackle the taxonomy of life on Yih. The first thing to do is give the yinrih a scientific name. Tree dwellers are in the same genus as yinrih, so they share the first scientific name. For the genus, several names have been p...

Tod was hatched into a family on one of the moons of Welkinstead. His sires and dams were representative of most Allied Worlds citizens in that they weren't particularly religious. Despite this, his dams insisted they at least go to the local lighthouse on the...

Tod made his way to a row of greenery facing the steps leading up to the lighthouse just as Focus spread its distant feeble rays over the ground. He hid out of sight until the front doors burst open, soldiers and locals alike pouring out and chatting amongst t...

Yinrih are not accustomed to wearing shoes. They find the loss of tactile information unpleasant. Yinrih that have to walk while wearing something that covers the palms of their paws initially react about how you'd expect a dog to react when wearing boots for ...

While the Bright Way held a monopoly on interplanetary travel during the age of decadence, terrestrial transport and logistics lay outside their control. Personal vehicles are much rarer in yinrih society compared to my terminally car-dependent hometown Eart...

Exovoviviparans are a clade of animals roughly as broad as Earth mammals. They're known for reproducing via womb nests, hence the name. They also bear fur, although they're not the only animals to do so. Yinrih and tree dwellers are members of this clade. Othe...

There are two Commonthroat words that yinrih use to refer to themselves. The most basic is <qgKqg>, which is analogous to the word "man" or "human", it's a common name referring to anyone of their species. the other is <sfq-Jq-g>. This word has two morphemes (...
