...In #Lashunta terms, Korasha are the blunt instrument paired to the Damaya's finesse, and psychically and intellectually matched to make a formidable pair. It's almost as if the two sub-species were designed, despite their superficial contrasts, to dynamically complement each other.

...What happens between two species when symbiosis breaks down?

Castrovel Inspirational Pic of the Week
