The Lu Gashul might be the most disturbing thing you have ever created. It's basically a cross between a Wendigo and a velociraptor... With some Chupacabra thrown in there cuz why the hell not.
Good idea to use April fools to give us new insights into the cultures of Kaimere. Firebirds are among my favorite animals in your world. Also nice to see the debut of the murder parrot on the channel. The joke video was very fun too! What a treat to get two videos in one day
Thank you! Been sitting on this polished Firebird design for a while so was good to actually finish it. So much fun to work on both. My girlfriend suggested this topic and I of course leaped at the idea. The joke was fun but this was a great opportunity to explore the worldbuilding a bit more.
This video is really well made ! In our world, between the many lengendary creatures or others entities of our tales and folklore, there a prety amount of Trickster, like Renart the fox from the eponyms tales from the European Middle Ages (and that the names of the character will even replace in french the world "Goupil" by "Renard" with a "D" instead of a "T"). The illustration of the Fox in front some animals who acclamed him is a illustration of Renart hiself. There also the Kappa and the Kitsune in Japan. The Satyre in greek Mythology. And a ridiculous amount of little being and dwarfs in European countries. Some made tricks only for funs and are not bad being and their trick can be easily forgiven. others, made trick to punish people who were bad in a way or an other. But some are completely evil and made bad and even dangerous tricks to hurt people.
@@TalesofKaimere Friend , don't be angry if I ask you this but , would you like your books being turned into the movie masterpieces directed by Peter Jackson ( the producer of LOTR and Hobbit ) ?
this... combined with the thing you told of how some magic can essentially transform humans into animals (physically and anatomically if not entirely genetic)... part of me really wants to imagine a story where somebody gets cursed into the form of a dinosaur.
Interesting the change on the pakardiant visions on tricksters yet it makes total sense with what you have presented of their history. After all, what better than a trickster to make guerrilla warfare? But a trickster just creates problems for an emerging "global" power (which is kind of the feel the pakardiant have given me so far, a distant foreign power that doesn't look that powerfull yet they have trade with everyone and they have good relations with everyone on the world) That said, is the Lu Gashul like a mythical creature akin to real-life cryptids, more of a very hard to find and partially magical species like cryptids in urban fantasy, individuals with tons of bodies like Indrakai or very strange yet human homunculi like kaimeran harpies? I think I haven't understood it's nature completely from the video. I love them, btw, they kind of send me huge house elfs vibes and I love it.
Indrakai: upset the established order, introduce a little anarchy, and everything becomes chaos.... that's what I am, I'm an agent of chaos, and you wanna know the thing about chaos..... it's fear.
Good video as ever ! A serious and fun one at the same time ! In addition, you've released a lot of videos lately! Really by the way, I don't think you've ever released so many videos in such a short time! My regards.
A well done video keenan learning the animals that are represented as trickers in kaimeren cultures is interesting also love the indrakai impression it got the firebird tricker well
I hope that the Ree'ek and the Lu Gashul are really real creatures that really live and breathe in the reality on Kaimere and that they are Homunculi created by the First Chidren ! Because they can and even deserve to live on Kaimere perfectly without problems !
Both are real! The ree’ek is a homunculus. Lu Gashul is real but they don’t know where it came from. As I mention in the movie it seems too customized to the problematic animals of Qajarith farmers to have been made by the first children so long ago, but some Homunculi can change their forms, so it could be a fox Homunculi that took on other aspects for example.
@@TalesofKaimere Facinating ! You know what, I will maybe made a Mythical-cryptids list of many creatures from myths and legends of our world like possible creatures that can be include into Kaimere, like homunculuses or normal animals who evolved themselve, that I will send you with a fanart when a idea of faanrt when come to my mind. Like that, you'will maybe have ideas from this. After all, Kaimere possess already mermaids, harpies and some others in the Known World, but are rare due to a ancient extermination by kaimeran, so who now how many they can be outside this region ! Plus, the planet is much bigger than earth, so there largely the place !
The mermaids in Kaimere, in their case, are real homunculi that live in Kaimere and are not fictionnal creature at all imagined by the Kaimeran. Already, there : the Milaq, the Zhen Kun, the Khalori, but there even maybe the ones from Keenan Mermany event from 2018 with the Sperm whale mermaid, the Bottlenose dolphin mermaid, the horn shark mermaid, the Blowfish mermaid and the Dumbo octopus baby mermaid (who can being very good addition with the 3 first well established ones!). It's just that they are very rarely encountered by kaimeran.

One of the most irritating charismatic and sensational character designs is indeed that of the liar! Being a dual being from an enlightened charitable to a nasty maniac! Since ancient and modern times, this elusive being always achieves its goal, but sometimes it gets too smart and the shot backfires! XD HAPPY APRIL FOOLS DAY!!
@@TalesofKaimere Yes, it's not a big problems and it's so subtle that we didn't see the differences. And even, we can said that there differences in term and about the size or the claws positions at the feet inside the population of Idrakai.
"Tricksters challenge norm and convention" is a line that I can sympathize with. I may not be thst much of a trickster, but I do sometimes challenge norms and conventions, albeit in a passive-aggressive sort of way, especially with regards to traditions and beliefs that are still around but do not make any sense any longer in this day and age(in the culture of my people at least). This could have stemmed from me being born and raised in a rather conservative family, to which I have become some sort of a maverick since I think I am the only one who has started challenging tradition. This might sound edgy to some, but it sure is rather suffocating to be raised in such a family.
Some traditions and conventions are there for a reason, and they aren't always bad (often good in their original context) but it's still good and healthy to question and push back against status quo, especially if it oppresses people. Good on you!
Just a common name that lumps them together. Humans do it all the time (golden jackal is a type of wolf, maned wolves aren’t wolves, king cobra isn’t a cobra, electric eels aren’t eels, killer whales are a type of dolphin so should we call them killer dolphins? etc.). Half of the animals we call egrets in English are phylogenetically herons and vice versa.
I called my lawyer from the Trickster's Union hoping I'd get a firebird but all they sent was a crow that knocked over all my pens, ate the legal paperwork, and flew off with my phone, so I guess I'll settle out of court please.
@@TalesofKaimere Ironiquely, there any real Jackal specie on Kaimere ! Because the Fox is a ... well, a fox, and the Dire Jackal is a specie of Dhole like the current Dhole (Cuon alpinus) in Asia. The "Common Jackal", like you mention it in a devianArt post, is not one of the two real species of Jackal that live in Africa (Lupulella adusta and Lupulella mesomelas) but is in fact a specie of wolf ! The Common Jackal on Kaimere is, in reality, a complete specie resulting and born by the hybridation of the common wolf (Canis lupus) and the Golden Jackal. This later, despite the name, is not at all a specie of Jackal but an eurasian wolf specie who live in a similar ecological niche like the Coyote (Canis latrans) in North America, bienf in the Canis genus (the genus of wolfs species) with the scientific name of Canis aureus. The case of the Common Jackal of Kaimere show that the hybridation between animal, more frequent in some lineage of animals than others like canids, ducks, cetacean and hominids like our own Homo lineage, is one of the many factors who create real complete specie over time in the Evolution history as on earth than on kaimere.
Not in the near future (current priority is the known world as I prepare for the bestiary) but it’s something I do plan on exploring, especially since aeroplankton have a more robust presence in Kaimere than they do on Earth and caves with their more still air sometimes have quite a lot of stable aeroplankton ecosystems

I’m planning on revising the genetics of the common jackal since I’ve updated the times of the harvest. Don’t know that that will end up being just saying that it might be a bit different now. I don’t think there will be any true jackals in Pakardia but until I sit down and iron that all out I’m not sure.
So, there really Spirits in Kaimere ? They are really real living spirits (and i this case, how they can even exist since they are not materials creatures) or just myths and legends characters Kaimeran imaginated and invented from scratch over the centuries?
Some are just folklore, some are hives of magic, and some are Homunculi. Can be difficult to tell the differences, just like a lot of real animals were thought to just be spirits and stories on Earth but turned out to either be real or relic stories from prehistoric creatures.
@@TalesofKaimere I think that at the base this creature was thought to be a neothenic Terror Bird. Right ? And have you planned to put some others true terrod bird on Kaimere ?
Random question : in fact, why you chosse the name/word Kaimere for the planet ? Does the word Kaimere have a particular meaning in a language or for you ?
It’s a word I made up using bananagrams tiles. Wanted something with no linguistic ties to Earth (would be silly for Latin to independently evolve twice for example). In the language of the Free States (aka the trade language or common tongue), Kaimere translates to ‘the known world’. The world is used for the planet as a whole, especially by the Assembly, but technically it should apply just to the known world even though it’s definition has shifted over time as so often happens
@@TalesofKaimere Oooooh ! Okay... That complex but it's good to know ! So, even if like you said this word have many signification following the different Kaimeran societies, at the base Kaimere word (for the planet itself) mean "the Known World" but at the same this name is also the name of the region/area where Kaimeran live and where the Portal introduce on the planet the new organic life species. And because these two share a common name, it's preferable to use Kaimere word like he is for the planet and use the name Known World for the Known World region. Yes, a little confusing when it's not explain ! I don't know how the Assembly manage to learn the word but they learn it in a way or an other, and like Kaimerans, use it to refers the planet in his integrality. Speaking of latin (the Greek dead language at the base of most of our current language), in a previous commentary where you awnser me about the bestiary Book and the binominal name aspect in it, you said that is earth explorers who will give the binominal name of all thé creatures of Kaimere. But how they manage to go on the planet first ?
@@dudotolivier6363 There are some members of the Assembly who reside in Kabarahar the portal city. They work with the Free States. It is from this group that they coordinated a single mission with a few scientists from Earth to learn about the flora and fauna of Kaimere and that's where I will be basing the bestiary from (and they are the ones who will be assigning the binomial names and other cladistics).
@@TalesofKaimere Okay, that explain everything about this specific particular, minor but important, point. Thank ! But the members of the Assembly in Karabharar portal city are people from earth who go to Kaimere (in this case, they know they are not really themselves but "clones/dopplegangers" or not ? In this last case, it's should be fun to see their bewildered head if they learn this fact 🤭) or local Kaimeran/Free State people who made contact and joined the Assembly ?
The great trickster remember the depictions of the northwest native American tribes of (Haida, salish) if their ever could see a dinosaur 😉. It's really interesting the "dire jackal" considering that recents paleontological and genetic researches discovered that the famous "dire wolves" (canis dirus) are actually related with jackals more than wolves
Yup! Paleo Analysis called the new fire wolf a dire jackal given it’s refined phylogenetics. This dude isn’t a species of Aenocyon but the term stick in my head as a great description of the large dhole I had planned!
Love your content Keenan, keep it up. I’m sure this question will be answered better in the later videos and books, but how weird is the unknown world? Is It just dregs of previous older dynasties, or is it weird weird, like terrestrial placoderms and extremely derived arthropods that have evolved solutions to their size limits sort of weird?
@@TalesofKaimere I’m sure you must know of them but Trollmans spec evo projects of diyu and r’lyeh take that whole idea of weird and run with it hard. On that note, has the swarm colonised other planets before earth, and are there extremely ancient remnants on kaimere?
If humans lie to themselves, and scientists and non-scientists are both human, that means that even science can be flawed in many aspects. A popular anime character once said that every human combines their beliefs, ideas and lies to create the reality which they live in. One man's lie, may be another man's truth according to their reality.
All but the Indrakai can fly, although the tamakai is more of a parachuter/glider. Jackalbird is a pretty strong flier and the karakai is comparable to birds of prey
@@TalesofKaimere Awesome. I like the idea of small eudromaeosaurs/paravians serving the role birds of prey do. How does having a long boney tail affect flight?
@@ALLHEART_ In general, firebirds are powerful and agile fliers. Their biggest setback compared to birds of prey is endurance, but they are often more agile in trees and better in a brawl, hence tending to grapple proportionally larger prey (in broad terms of course. Exceptions include golden eagles taking on mountain goats for example)
Yup! That and a lot of cultures have goat and sheep headed men and given the trend of them associated with tricks and revelry I figured it made sense for that association in Kaimere too!
The Lu Gashul might be the most disturbing thing you have ever created. It's basically a cross between a Wendigo and a velociraptor... With some Chupacabra thrown in there cuz why the hell not.
Yeah that earned me one of the "babe are you okay"'s that always tell me I'm on the right track lol
Katoblepas,The silent ones and Milaq: R U SURE BOUT THAT
Okay, I think that the Firebirds and the Eudromaeosaurus do deserve some limelight, especially the first ones!

It is from this group that they coordinated a single mission with a few scientists from Earth to learn about the flora and fauna of Kaimere and that's where I will be basing the bestiary from (and they are the ones who will be assigning the binomial names and other cladistics).
@@TalesofKaimere Okay, that explain everything about this specific particular, minor but important, point. Thank !
But the members of the Assembly in Karabharar portal city are people from earth who go to Kaimere (in this case, they know they are not really themselves but "clones/dopplegangers" or not ? In this last case, it's should be fun to see their bewildered head if they learn this fact 🤭) or local Kaimeran/Free State people who made contact and joined the Assembly ?
Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.
Water ship down
The great trickster remember the depictions of the northwest native American tribes of (Haida, salish) if their ever could see a dinosaur 😉. It's really interesting the "dire jackal" considering that recents paleontological and genetic researches discovered that the famous "dire wolves" (canis dirus) are actually related with jackals more than wolves
Yup! Paleo Analysis called the new fire wolf a dire jackal given it’s refined phylogenetics. This dude isn’t a species of Aenocyon but the term stick in my head as a great description of the large dhole I had planned!
@@TalesofKaimere Ironiquely, there also the Dire Wolf hiself on kaimere !
Love your content Keenan, keep it up. I’m sure this question will be answered better in the later videos and books, but how weird is the unknown world? Is
It just dregs of previous older dynasties, or is it weird weird, like terrestrial placoderms and extremely derived arthropods that have evolved solutions to their size limits sort of weird?
I’m definitely planning on getting weirder the further we go from the known world!
@@TalesofKaimere I’m sure you must know of them but Trollmans spec evo projects of diyu and r’lyeh take that whole idea of weird and run with it hard.
On that note, has the swarm colonised other planets before earth, and are there extremely ancient remnants on kaimere?
If humans lie to themselves, and scientists and non-scientists are both human, that means that even science can be flawed in many aspects. A popular anime character once said that every human combines their beliefs, ideas and lies to create the reality which they live in. One man's lie, may be another man's truth according to their reality.
Which of the fire birds can fly? Does their method of flying differ greatly from that of birds? The jackalbird seems really sick.
All but the Indrakai can fly, although the tamakai is more of a parachuter/glider. Jackalbird is a pretty strong flier and the karakai is comparable to birds of prey
@@TalesofKaimere Awesome. I like the idea of small eudromaeosaurs/paravians serving the role birds of prey do. How does having a long boney tail affect flight?
@@ALLHEART_ In general, firebirds are powerful and agile fliers. Their biggest setback compared to birds of prey is endurance, but they are often more agile in trees and better in a brawl, hence tending to grapple proportionally larger prey (in broad terms of course. Exceptions include golden eagles taking on mountain goats for example)
So uh are you gonna do a video on the relics of the tyrant dynasty
Eventually that’s the plan!
@@TalesofKaimere cool
Any trolls do trickery?
Bruh the indrakai is literally Joker
Wanna see my latest short ?
pog
Obviousely, the Ree'ek is a reference and is the Satyre version of the Greek cultur from earth on Kaimere !
Yup! That and a lot of cultures have goat and sheep headed men and given the trend of them associated with tricks and revelry I figured it made sense for that association in Kaimere too!
