Agriculture

The Forberg expedition has restarted agriculture in Er’Nirah. If you can remember my former posts: the reddish lichen that grows all over the age, which was formerly in possession of the guild of caterers, had been harvested for nourishment.
It actually tastes quite good, a little like goat meat, but with a slight sweet aftertaste.

The expeditions new plan for food supply is to use as much of the D’ni ages as possible – it saves costs, and helps restoring these ages at the same time.

Of course, extensive research is necessary to determine the safety of particular food sources. We don´t want to get a second Tehranee, understandably.

Unknown age 07 is still off-limits, as of unanimous vote of the new expedition council – by the way, did I already tell you about the new council?
Until some weeks ago, the expedition solely was led by B.P. Forberg. But the more people take part, the more the need arose for more democracy – so a council was founded, with Dr. Forberg as a chairman, and eleven elected councilmembers. At the moment, these are the leaders of the different sections of the expedition – research, restoration, exploration, survey, and so on.

I´ve been offered a seat, but declined – too much responsibility for me, and too much dependency.

Er’Nirah

As reported, we´ve visited two caterer ages two weeks ago. The one I want to write about this time is Er’Nirah. The whole place is covered by a thick, soft layer of a species of lichen, with a dark red hue, that gives the age a strange, but somewhat appealing color. Nearly every inch of the ground is covered, the few places where it isn´t, I could see barren rock. There seem to be various other lichen, fungi and animals who depend strongly on the red lichen, either by nourishing from it, or seeking shelter in it, or just growing on it.

B.P. gave me some information about the age. As you´ll already have guessed by the name “Er’Nirah”, it was an age of the guild of caterers. And if we aren´t mistaken, the D’ni harvested the red lichen for food – there are some species of lichen here on earth which are edible (but not very tasteful, as far as I´ve read). I´m really curious how it tastes, but first we´ll have to thoroughfully analyze it.

In Afelahn, I did a lot of work the last days. Although the place isn´t quite ready yet, I brought some specimen, so I can start doing my first projects. I`d like to post some of them at the Zoologist-Forum (D’ni Zoological society), so we can do some research on lifeforms together.

And then, I managed (with some help) to design my first lamps for Afelahn (until now, it was lit by makeshift lights). Although I don´t plan the age to be highly aesthetic, they clearly help it in a visual way.

Catering ages

Since the Forberg expedition consists of more and more people, we´ve had a meeting about new food resources and how to acquire them. B.P. told us, that one of the Resehren-ages and another age found in J’taeri had been ages of the guild of caterers. We agreed to visit these ages this weekend – maybe we can obtain some of our food directly from there!

In Afelahn, Tom Woods and I set up lights in most of the rooms in my home base. They are simple and not very pretty, but they´ll do.
Although the age is not complete yet, I´ve decided to start using the base. At first, there´ll be only limited access, for expedition personnel.

I brought a crate full of firemarbles from Dasharen to Afelahn, I´m planning to design some lamp variants for my ages with them.
