Ah, yep. All valid points. Just three things:

Yeah...60 mph vs. 60 km/h. I think that's what tripped me up the most. They are slightly different :S. I think I can deal with 60km/h.

About the reproduction, you are right that I was basing it off primates. It was an assumption based off the fact that they live in communal groups, while bears are more solitary if I remember correctly. Of course they don't have to have both or neither. It's just that when making anthropomorphic animals, there is little knowing exactly how much is inherited from humanity. Thank you for making that clear.

I may have just been a little quick off the line making some of the judgements, and for that, I'm sorry if I seemed reactive.

Oh yeah, and as for the thematic tying together planning stuff, that's not at all something that is required. It's just that I saw all this language about them being generally better than every other race with the only impactful drawback being birthrate and population. Now, that's not exactly true on a second pass but asking for plans was just me searching for themes that made sense for it all.

Also, there's no need to get rid of them.


If you have any qualms with certain aspects, let me know and we can make them more balanced. I'm certain that they are quite unbalanced but I'm just unable to see it. They are the group's now, so we should tweak them to make them more appropriate. Just give me a list of things that could be tweaked and I'll edit in my spare time.
If we want to tweak the speed, here's a list of bear species speeds for comparison:
American Black bear: 48 km/h
Asiatic Black Bear: 40 km/h
Brown Bear: 48 km/h
Polar Bear: 40 km/h
Grizzly Bear: 56 km/h
Spectacled Bear: 48 km/h
Giant Panda Bear: 32 km/h
Sloth Bear: not sure 'faster than a human' was all I got, so presumably 28 km/h and above
Sun Bear: 48 km/h
Giant Short-Faced Bear: 50-70 km/h

For the existence of such mountains, I would like to point you towards Vestec's contribution to the Codex, which encourages the development of such anomalies.
However, if the Solitary Mount is indeed stratospheric in height, then you probably won't be getting any visitors any time soon. If people can barely make it to 8km without breathing apparatus (Everest), then they'll have no hope of ascending to the Whirlpool on the peak. Even Heroes need air to breathe.

As for balance of Galbar, there is no problem at all. The radius of Galbar is about 6000km (if it's Earth-sized). 20km is but a tiny fraction of that. The difference in density between ocean and continent would have a far greater impact on the center of mass than any single mountain.
In fact, there exists a case study for mountains so big. Olympus Mons is 22km tall, on Mars, which is notably smaller than Earth. Mars seems to have no problems. (Granted, Olympus Mons is a massive shield volcano, so flat that the curvature is nigh undetectable, while these two Galbarian mountains would be much more pointy, but again I indicate Vestec's contribution to the Codex)

Honestly I saw the huge numbers of that post and the mention of it supposedly having a better view than the Celestial Citadel (which is pretty much in space most of the time) and just dismissed it as exaggeration. If the mountain is actually that huge, it's pretty ridiculous and would have required Might or at least some special effort to create.

A mountain of that size wouldn't form happen naturally like the rest of the Ironhearts did when Teknall broke the tectonic plates and made them move together. For comparison, Mount Everest isn't even 9km tall.


Tbh, I based my description of Mt. Borm from the Olympus Mons of Mars that BBeast mentioned earlier. I thought that, with such a huge swift in the tectonic plates and taking into consideration that it wasn't anything natural like our tectonic plates that shift with time, but an intervention of a god (in this case Teknall); It would be plausible for such a mountain to form under these conditions. I also mentioned that it was a volcano, but that is insignificant. You know, I don't have any problem whatsoever to return back there and add one might for the volcano to just exist. It would give a nice flavor to the planet now that Kho wants to create another stratospheric mountain. Say, they are twins or something :) The ogres live on one mountain and the dwarves live on the other.

All in all, I was serious when I mentioned that its view could be on par with C.C. since it's height is so exaggerated but I digress, it was my mistake that I didn't mention it OOCly for everyone to know about :/

Quick sketch of how I see the population division of Galbar, since the map is not being updated and all that I would like to see if anyone has any other idea going on that I should know about before making any map changes


The Rovaick are all throughout the mountains.

It is where it was fated to be

On a side note, my post just broke into 5 thousand words x_x
It will also take a lot of time to make all the creation sheets of the mess I'm making.

i read somewhere in the last 2-3 pages of the occ that someone was in the process of writing a 58.000 word post. So yeah. 5.000 seems casual enough for this RP.
