There's what, like two edeinos templates and two stalenger templates for LL reality characters and stalengers are so weird hardly anyone will play them. Well, what if there were more races? Surely if stalengers and benthe could become jakatts there must be races from other cosms Kaah's conquered who also joined up. Perhaps the Living Land, not the Star Sphere, is the realm which is populated by all kinds of strange alien species brought together under a common banner? Heck, races in the Space Gods book like the Larendi and Gudasko are portrayed as technologically primitive to begin with, they could be transplanted to the Living Land with only minor tweaks!

I remember several years ago you thinking about different tribes or races of eidenos. I'm working that and the "alien refugees" angle into my revised Living Land. I may even work the high Social into it, as well.

Especially since, in my LL it looks like small refuges left over after a devastating war, the idea of a high Social would be bewildering.
