   Due to the constant dangers in this world, repopulating is a cultural norm. Sex is everywhere, both for casual fun and for conception. Once an individual reaches adulthood, it’s considered normal that they join the gene pool as soon as possible, and as long as both parties are adults, any age gap is considered irrelevant. Strength and skill are viewed as the most important aspects of what makes a good sire, while endurance and intelligence are the hallmarks of a good mother, creating a natural dichotomy of gender-dependent personalities that most accept and only some break the mold. Children are raised communally wherever possible, though they do still know their parents well. Some large cities exist in specific parts of the world, but far more often people can be found in towns and villages fitted into defensible areas favored by the terrain, or tribes that move around constantly within their established territories. Tribes fight for land and resources, not because they’re hard to come by, but because the verdant terrain makes extracting inorganic materials much more difficult than simply taking them from one’s neighbors. Bronze weapons and tools are everywhere; iron and steel versions are extremely rare and only held by those strong and smart enough to keep them. Plant, leather and wood construction are most common, with stone in some places for more enduring buildings – especially in cities. Tribal cultures often engage in taking thralls from neighboring tribes to enhance their own gene pool via raids and tribal conflicts. This is not true slavery, as the captives are treated well as if they were a full member of the tribe, but their freedoms are limited to within the tribe’s boundaries and needs; as such, thralls are primarily kept for sex and reproduction. Thralldom exists in towns and cities as well, but it’s more transactional with thralls being offered for a price rather than by conquest – including selling oneself into thralldom or taking part in breeding farms for payment. Thralls understand what is expected of them and usually bear it with a certain grace until they can change their situation, such as by fully integrating into their new home, arranging for their thralldom to be temporary, being reclaimed by their original tribe/family, escape, etc.; only bandits and criminals actually perform rape, the rest of the time it’s aggressive dominance at worst, completely willing at best. Individuals also travel the land between populated areas; traders, adventurers, scavengers and of course criminals wander around exploring and seeking their various fortunes. Some are kind, some are extremely cruel; one must always be on guard when traveling. Demanding sex and/or breeding as payment for various transgressions is also common, whether it be simple trespassing or heavier crimes. The biggest exception to all of this, are dragons. Due to their exceedingly rare nature and low birth rate, dragons more than other species need a constant mate, and so tend to mate with a single person for life (usually a human); the gods designed them this way to prevent the arrogance and overbearing cruelty of their old-world ancestors. To be chosen by a dragon as their mate is considered the highest honor, and the individual in question gets taken wherever the dragon flies while they have as many children as possible. Safe adventure, new sights and experiences that only one with wings and strength can grant, and a loyal protector for the rest of one’s life, make dragons extremely appealing to a potential wingless mate.

   Keys: human, elf, dwarf, furry, anthro, anthropomorphic, dragon, reproduce, repopulate, breed

   The world is occupied by humans still, but alongside them now are elves, dwarves and anthropomorphic species of every variety imaginable. Canines, deer, bulls/minotaurs, horses, felines, etc. populate the continent itself, while aquatic anthros from fish to whales thrive in the super-ocean in equal abundance. Dragons also exist, but are exceedingly rare. These species are all capable of cross-species breeding, though for obvious reasons land and sea tend to not interbreed except in rare instances. Species miscegenation is not only the norm, it’s expected to ensure the world has enough variety of species and perspectives to continue survival. A multi-species pairing can result in either species being born from the union, inheriting traits from both parents. The gods have made it so women do not have to hate or fear childbirth as they did in the old world. Bearing and birthing are still exhausting for the mother if not managed, but never painful or lethal; and the changes caused by pregnancy revert to normal after the child in question is weaned of breastfeeding. Anthro females go through heat seasons, while humans have monthly cycles as they did in the old world, so human women are always considered a good matchup. Most pregnancies only last 3-4 months as well, rather than 9, so it doesn’t inconvenience would-be mothers the way it did in the old world. Incest and Inbreeding are unable to conceive, as a safeguard by the gods to ensure genetic diversity.

3. #3Geography

   Keys: Geography, iron, continent, world, mountains, volcano, jungle, rainforest, desert, verdant

   Jungle World is a single supercontinent, larger than Pangaea was on the first attempt. Large volcanic mountain ranges cross the land, creating barriers and controlling the flow of wind and rain, with numerous rivers and lakes with some inner seas to provide water and food sources. The majority of the continent is either rainforest with regular rain or jungle terrain with wet/dry seasons, with the mountains’ rain-shadow regions being deserts instead. Open plains are rare, and usually heavily occupied by creatures who prefer such terrain. The majority of the land only ever knows temperate and tropical warmth. Only the far north portion of the continent ever sees snow; it’s covered in a glacier that spans shore to shore, stopping short of the temperate/tropical regions in a near perfect line enforced by the gods. The volcanic mountains drop nutrient rich ashfalls once every hundred years or so to keep the land nourished. The combination of wind guidance and temperature regions results in regular rain or dry/monsoon seasons depending on where in the world one is. Iron, the overabundant resource that the gods deemed the bane of the old world, is significantly reduced now. The main source is gathering it from the desert sands, using precious magnets to trail along the dunes or catch it out of sandstorms. Otherwise there’s so little of it that it only exists as a nutrient, part of the verdant lands’ fertilizers.

4. #4History

   Keys: History, god, gods, ancient, old world,

   The old world tore itself apart a century ago. When the gods witnessed the fall of a world that had consisted of only mankind, they identified several problems:

   • Too many weapons available to them, due to an abundance of materials.
   • Too few perspectives of culture and variety, due to being the only sapient beings.
   • Population overabundance creating dangerously cramped conditions. In light of these flaws in their original design, the gods gathered and rebuilt the world in a new image. One where survival is a constant challenge, much more difficult to overcome without constant work and diligence; where repopulation and childbearing is a high necessity but won’t overtax the world’s resources; and where humans, are no longer alone. The gods watch this new world and find it entertaining in its own right, but also more balanced than before; species don’t get out of hand, resources are valued rather than trivialized, and of course there’s more than enough sex for their voyeuristic preferences.
