This has since been definitively disproved, but some more superstitious or closed-off settlements still whisper about the deathless plant-folk. They were said to rise again from even the most grievous wounds to wreak havoc on the one that hurt them. Thanks to their approach to medicine and their natural hardiness, the Floran ability to recover from illness and injury is considered incredibly impressive throughout the galaxy during the Floran-Hylotl wars, rumors circulated that the floran were impossible to kill permanently without outright reducing them to ash (and even then, scatter it wide). The tribe’s Greenfinger is incredibly valuable in healing, as their connection to plantlife lets them diagnose whatever might be wrong with a floran patient with greater speed and accuracy than most modern tests generations of Greenfinger notes and teachings then assist them in choosing the best treatments. This might involve immersion in mineral water or burying the floran in question in nutrient-rich soil for a while, or simply changing their diet to encourage proper rebuilding of whatever has been damaged or halt a detrimental change. Plants are quite sensitive to water, pH balance, nutrient, and light changes, and many floran medical treatments, while useless for other beings, prove highly effective by changing exposure to these, especially exposure to specific nutrients. Nuru and the Greenfingers have a broader experience of the world, so they know that others don’t always have the Floran ability to figure that out, and use names and personal pronouns to clarify.įloran medicine is actually pretty advanced, to the surprise of most people who judge them by their “primitive” social system. Sssmells funny.” Smells funny as in the statue itself doesn’t smell like a Floran, perhaps? Or even the specific Floran it depicts? This might explain most of them universally referring to themselves and each other as Floran rather than by name. “Floran” is enough for what they are talking about, and the pheromones specify who. The inspection dialogue identifies it as a Greenfinger: “Ssspecial Floran. There’s also that sandstone statue of a Floran. It would also help them work together during a hunt, where the prey might be sound-sensitive, but wouldn’t understand the subtle shifting scents and pheromones as the Floran calling commands or plans (if they could even detect that) until it was too late. Maybe this fed the concept of Floran being very simple creatures overall. A non-Floran character doesn’t get the chemical side of communication or even know it’s there. Perhaps that’s part of why their speech seems so simplistic to a Floran player character, this is normal, and they understand the nonverbal side just fine. Most of their language is actually based on scent and chemicals, like real life plant communication. So I had an idea, a while back, that Floran language is actually only partially dependent on words. Looks like I forgot to post this before ^.^ I’ve had this theory for a long while.
