I've been mulling over my country's technology and more advanced inventions. Most of it could likely be recreated through mundane means, but I think there should be some things that for one reason or another just don't work anymore
Potentially, multiple questions arise from this. If magic was used in technology but a specific goddess's magic used for it went away, could another goddess's magic take its place? ("Would /who/-patented telegraphs function properly if the Nameless Element was replaced by Essence of Doob?" for example) I didn't find anything concrete looking through the Viti lore doc though I admit the mechanics may be carried over from Vitubia and the answer may be there somewhere. If there is nothing concrete, I intend to take the position that magic from one goddess is magic AA and magic from a separate goddess is magic AB, and although the core function is the same the specifics don't allow for replacing one goddess's magic with another's in the same inventions and receiving the same result.
That being said, the concept or hope of another goddess's magic being a usable substitute could lead to some intriguing lore prospects: Would Hoomans sell technology they couldn't recreate through mundane means to other nations, and would laws in /who/ be put in place to prevent that from happening in the hopes of reincarnation/pink apotheosis/a non-magical breakthrough? If substitution is possible, the aforementioned hope of a pink apotheosis could be a technology-based reason for underground cults devoted to the Pink Angel and/or the One Who Was Here Before instead of a purely theological one. That being said, I can make the cults make sense in the setting without that detail if it doesn't line up with the laws of the land.
I have a draft that talks about a few local wildlife species, but I've been putting off writing anything concrete about big picture stuff and it's likely more important to document stuff like the general technology level, the current state of the libraries and archives, and general lifestyle information about Hoomans in general before I distract myself any more with zoology or cryptids.

Assassin escorting the other party members is a nice way to bring the new players and the two who couldn't make the previous session together, as it could be generally agreed by the group as a whole that the Assassin would give the newbies a quick rundown on who the Barbarian and Warlock are on the way to them. I like it!
Reiterating my stance from earlier that I am okay with /vnug/ taking /towa/'s place in the Vitubia map, though with the added caveat that I likely have the least authority on this matter due to not having been involved in that era of this project.
