How did the Yantra-log find out that they do not dream? Was dreaming described by someone of a different race, or are they somehow "programmed" with the concept of dreaming, in order to know that they don't do that?

Hello MisterUnlikely!

It was the former. In Ananta-log, the Dwarves were the first born and were largely responsible for discovering and shepharding new beings towards civilization.

Upon meeting the Yantra-Log and realizing that they do not sleep so much as power down, discussions about dreams would have inevitably been had. Plus, so many cultures have phrases and metaphors that reference dreaming.

The Yantra-log would have quickly realized that there was a gap in their understanding and perception of the world.

Thanks for the reply. I would have liked to be there for that conversation--if you're planning on doing any "sidebars" with interactions among the races, to help flesh out their differences in the world, this would make an awesome one.

At the moment, we do have a few short stories (unpublished) that talk about events of a few ages prior that shape the psyche of some of our Races.

But I do like what you're suggesting here! I'll see what I can do in that regard! :)

They don't have to be huge stories--1000 words would be more than enough--and that would be enough to help flesh out the different races, compare and contrast. Besides, without that, much of the time, players act as just "humans in alien costumes," and while they may come from different cultures, but they otherwise seem to take up the same motivations.
