Among sapient thinkers of different kinds upon Aion, from human to non-human, post-human and alien alike, one question became paramount as the years wore on. That question was, how and why did Aion come about? The time-portals and hodgepodge nature of its fauna and flora seemed to indicate an outside force behind populating the planet. But the rather earth-like climate of Aion and its lucky position in a solar system of relatively unremarkable planetoids suggest that its formation may have been somewhat like that of earth. One vital clue was there all along, Aion lacks a molten core, and any kind of plate tectonics or vulcanism, and yet it is estimated to have been hosting life for as long as 1.5 billion years. Any other planet lacking plate tectonics would have worn down to a boiling morass of mud and sand by this point. The less pragmatic races of Aion largely did not concern themselves with the question of whence their world came, as their pagan and ancestor-worshiping religio...

Hello again, time for another Aion post, - The preponderance of sapient races found upon Aion has meant one important thing for its fauna, that some animals underwent domestication. Although humans can claim to be the most proficient at domesticating various Aionian fauna, the Dinomachy are also extremely adept at this practice. After all, it is only the Dinomachy and their cronies that have mastered the art of using certain dinosaurs as mounts for labor, transport and war.  Here we shall discuss a few animals that have been rather modified physically by the process of domesticating them for purpose.     The ethnic group of Aionian humans colloquially known as "Dinomachian Cronies", have styled much of their culture after the Dinomachy, but the places they differ are the most fascinating. It is a common hobby in the cities and settlements of the cronies, to attentively breed ornamental strains of the ubiquitous Placoderm-fish, Bothriolepis. These domestic strains usually ...
