Species
This branch covers species in post-Elysium: the forms of life that exist, their histories, and how others treat them. A being’s body affects more than its abilities. It also affects the work it is expected to do, the rights it is granted, the prejudice it faces, and whom others recognize as its kin.
These notes examine how physical differences and inherited social arrangements shape those decisions. What does an institution owe a being with a different kind of body, and who decides? The answers turn questions about what a being is into everyday rules governing its treatment. This branch is still small; its current species note is Ratfolk.
