Hell of a way to get this started, but:
Do Vampires/Doriad use the bathroom? Do the women have a time of the month?

Mechanations can absorb Focus from food. How does this work?

Eating and sleeping are two big ways to restore Focus. Liches do neither of these things, despite having the most. How do they do it?

Now that every bodybuilder is also a pyromancer, how does elemental non-magic work? Is it just like Monk/Verglas 'spiritualism' or whatever where you (presumably) just learn to manipulate elements/Focus without casting spells?

Can we get a couple more 'official' slurs, or should I work with a GM or something?
I'm fond of crab (Shaitan) and log/firewood (Doriad), but it'd be nice to have something 'on the books' since most PCs are ultra-liberals.
Edit: Also, piss-blood for Glykin, thumper for Leporidae, milk-licker for Felidae, and cow/goat for Zerans.

Is Lichdom a thing in Mersales? How about dark magic?

How present is religion in Mersales, and if more than 'not at all', what flavor is it generally?

When did Mersales come to be, and how aware are its citizens of the events of Heaven's Contention?

Can Mechanations get drunk/be affected by drugs in general?

Are Spatials edible?

Is it possible to fly by using a glider with [strike]airbending[/strike] Sylphid magic?

Q: Is there any difference between feeding on a vampire and on a mortal?

A: Not really, though drinking the blood of another vampire is extremely taboo to them. The only exception would be a vampire offering their blood to a starving vampire who could die without it, and even then, it's considered very strange but necessary, and some vampires will just refuse it outright for that reason, even if it results in the other vampire dying.


Q: Does feeding on people of any race/ability have different effects, other than the obvious "Glykin = much pain, very wow"?
For example, would feeding on an extremely powerful mage/redtail/elf be any different than on a simple goblin.

A: A mage would probably have more focus in their blood, making it more 'nutritious', but otherwise no.


Q: If they don´t drain essence, what exactly happens then since I don´t believe that they can create infinite essence like that. Whats the reason why it´s taboo for them when it has no downsides? If it has downsides, what are those?(Besides that its cannabalism)

A: The blood of a vampire doesn't contain focus, which is why they have to get it from other places, namely the blood of others.

This is a retcon, right?
