Surface-dwelling humanoids eventually found other methods of adapting to the great dangers posed by kaijan and dinosaurs. It became known that dinosaurs are vulnerable to psychic energy; psionic casters, therefore, rigorously trained to ward off dinosaurs from their settlements. Other psions went farther, learning to briefly control and domesticate dinosaurs and incorporate them into their societies. Psionic sentinels and dino wranglers both enabled their societies to set permanent roots and offered them the means to resist the terrors of the kaijan. | Surface-dwelling humanoids eventually found other methods of adapting to the great dangers posed by kaijan and dinosaurs.

If you are playing in early history, consider making technology even more primitive: agricultural canals might be revolutionary. Conversely, if you are playing just a few years before the Tear, then feats of engineering such as cross-national aqueducts may be more commonplace. | If you are playing in early history, consider making technology even more primitive: agricultural canals might be revolutionary.

'''Forward Compatible Lineages:''' The lineages introduced in this setting still exist in future settings. However, Kosavran and Dwellvur are much less common, and the elf and [[dwarf]] sublineages are disproportionately small compared to their other sublineages. | |||
'''Forward Compatible BOPs:''' The BOPs introduced in this setting are mostly forward-compatible. The Augur and Godking are specific to this setting, unless your MC makes an exception. | |||
'''Forward Compatible Class Tracks.''' Your MC may allow these tracks in other settings. Be aware that some of these talents are specifically designed to interact with dinosaurs. Others are intended to counteract creatures that have DT or are dramatically larger in scale than you might encounter in other supereons, so not all talents will be particularly relevant in other settings. | '''Forward Compatible Class Tracks.'''
