It takes three things to terraform a planet: fire, flood and feces. Some people like to watch the world burn. Me? I prefer to see it covered in shit. --- * Image: [[fire blazing under 3 moons.png]] * Meta: I originally kinda thought of this as the intro to a prologue about the world for the story, where the village is first settled. Honestly I kind of like it better as a thing to aim for, though, when the protagonist of this story needs a new challenge and the town is prosperous and well-built and she joins an expedition to carve out a new territory in the void. This world should use the towns and the nodes as planets and stars and the metaphor for humans needing to get out into space and expand expand expand in order for it to work. This should not be a planetary globe world, this should be nodes in space carved out of the void. * Addendum: [[fire is the quintessential human tool]] * References: * [[humans burn forests to get grasslands]] * Shared: * [Substack Notes](https://substack.com/@eleanorkonik/note/c-64328521) * [Discord](https://discord.com/channels/954068589885923389/1081038327098122311/1270004106236264499)
