Discussions on NewEarth

After arriving on the lush new planet, surviving the storm that blew over shelters and containers, and our first night without technology, a flying beast swoops in and lands. Needless to say, everyone went screaming away and hid. It didn’t take long for our bravest to do their best to drive it off. All manner…

Up until Grabon and Heron are able to communicate, dragons had a myth about the human offworlders who had come to camp on their world. They believed the humans were an inferior species saved by an enterprising off world organization brought to the planet for shelter. Closer to beasts than people, they were terrified of…

Traditionally, dragons do not take their youngsters out of the nest. Dragons do not fly independently until they are 14 cycles. Never mind the longer year, more hours in each day, can you imagine being confined to a nest indefinitely with a youngster? Granted, dragon youngsters do not move around as much as humans, but…

Grabon’s nest is the central point of the territory, but based on the discussions in book 2 with Brom and Griss, we know that other nest designs are encouraged. Brom wanted a nest much like Grabon’s but in place of stone, he wanted wood. Griss has three nests joined so they can be kept separate.…

Yes dragon’s have bellybuttons, formed from where they were attached to their mother prior to birth. It is in their midline crease and not as easily seen as in humans. Dragons of NewEarth are mammals, their females breastfeed, from the chest. Nipples? They are under the breast plate on either side of the midline of…

When Grabon looks out at his territory, do you think he sees each tree, each gibber and puton or does he see the territory as a whole, able to feel the energy off of everything all at once, sparing him the pain of the individual? As the territory dragon, he is responsible for keeping everything…

Griss has a multi generational collection of medicinal recipes that work on dragons and to everyone’s surprise with a slight adjustment for weight, they also work on humans. One of the reasons that holds true, at least in my writer’s imagination is because they have similar systems; respiratory, muscular, vascular, digestive. They bleed red blood…

Is Heron’s life span increased because he is a companion to a dragon? What does that do to Trissy? What about their children? Is it going to effect Grabon’s ability to claim a mate? What will happen if Grabon’s mate does not like Heron, or Trissy, or the children? All good reasons to keep reading…

The reason bentar wagons are so popular on New Earth is because the birds are much smaller than cattle, are quieter, eat less, poop less and move slower. The wagons are smaller and while one bird has a limited weight it can pull, two does a good job. Bentar are generally tame, easy to handle…

Grabon seems to hold the belief that he can make the rules in his own territory. What happens if someone challenges that? Should Gordon and even Heron decide that a Grabon is wrong about something,  can they challenge his leadership? What kinds of tools does Grabon have to resolve conflicts, aside from dropping an enemy…
