This photo’s over a year old and the map’s still being figured but here’s Niutéah!
Introducing my alien species, the Téoloni!
Sorry for all the messy notes lol
Fun fact; Téoloni eyes often resemble gemstones, for example Nao’s eyes have the colors and patterns of malachite!
A fun fact for your Friday night:
Téoloni have cotton candy too, except they call it sweet silk :D
Another fun fact for Friday
Niutéah’s suns are named Imo’akléa and Ammakléa
It’s about time I introduce my human boyo, Rowan
Another fun fact Friday!
Nao’s named after a prominent tree species in the mountains he lives in, the naoto, which roughly translates to feather tree
Here’s one last Nao drawing to cap off 2023, he’s just dancing for some sort of festival or ceremony
Fun-fact Friday
Several areas and biomes throughout Niutéah are filled with giant stone pillars and buttes, some are large enough to support entire ecosystems of their own, almost like islands among a sea of clouds
One of these stone pillar regions is large enough to contain an entire nation, Kahéa. There’s also Kyizhé’konné but it’s land is primarily mesa
Funfact Friday!
Niutéah has a thin ring left from it’s formation, the only thing that’s kept it together for so long has been nia (which I really need to explain) within and around the rocks
Okay, so it’s time I explain niattics.
Nia are small spark-like particles, usually in various shades of blue, though they also give quick flickers of other colors.
Nearly everything in and around Niutéah is filled with nia, it even runs through the blood of the Téoloni!
The most important aspect of niattics are it’s capabilities, nia is able to amplify and/or control all sorts of natural phenomena, for instance animals often focus heavy amounts of nia into a part of their body for a quick boost in strength, or someone could even manipulate the wind
Nia also has various frequencies of energy, being able to be tuned into specific systems or networks.
Fun fact Friday!
The island nation Olshi’anbo is home to a tree species with fermented bark. It’s supposed to ward off and immobilize wood eating bugs, however the bark is also a popular additive to Olshi’anbin drinks.
A work in progress of the bois
Here’s a sketch of one of my other characters, Liyamma! I’m still figuring out her personality and stuff but already I love her
Double FFF!!!!!
Téoloni and several other Niutéhian species have offspring through a mix of live birth and eggs, initially giving birth to a little bud that later opens up and develops into a full babeh!
Niutéah’s smallest moon is named Anido, it’s the 5th (out of six) moon in terms of orbital distance
Fun fact Friday
At the center of the Mniukalli lies three mountains that are among the tallest on the planet
Fun fact Friday
You can often see the glow of a Téoloni’s nia shimmer across their skin right before they use or expel it.
For example, in a dark room, if someone were to gather their own nia onto their palm you’d see some of it traveling through their arm, temporarily giving their skin a starry effect.
Fun Fact Friday/Lore Rant
The skin tones and feather colors of a Téoloni are supernaturally determined by the land they and their ancestors originate from.
For example, people from dessert regions will most likely have orange or sandy brown patterns with lighter feather colors while those from mountainous regions, like Nao, will have grey or tree bark-colored patterns with darker feathers, resembling the darker shades of conifer needles. The base skin color is usually based off of the most common color of plants in a region.
I’ve also been wondering if their skin tones would be determined by the amount of sunlight in a region, like humans and the amount of melanin in our skin. Would they have a similar method of dealing with solar radiation or would the nia in their body channel and carry out the unwanted energy hitting their skin?
Fun fact friday
Steam locomotives are still incredibly common along Niutéhian railroads, in fact they’ve undergone all sorts of changes to make them more efficient and safe.
So no more crown-sheet failure, yipeeee!
