While the children of the lost goats aged almost a year -- still children yet matured by loss -- The pregnant nannies that had been left behind finally give Birth.
Steve was furthest along and was first to go into labor. She had long suspected that Adam was the father, but she couldn't be sure since both she and Adam were close to Raa, the brave guard who had been assigned to stay back and protect the small number that had stayed behind..
It was clear, however, as they were born that Adam had been a survivor by mistake, having stayed behind for his children, only for them to be Raa's.
Ah well, there could always be next time!
Ayla, the mate of the previous leader, gave birth a few months later, her children born with a father who walks with the Earth Mother with the rest of their deceased clan, echo's of what had been lost, but gifts from beyond the grave.
And now, my friends.... we search for the spirits that will protect them, as the survivors pray to Weyiweyi, the Earth goddess of the cliffs, to be kind to their small tribe and let them keep these blessings.

Staff members only Note for non-staffers that have been paying attention to the project wondering why
1) We need to be careful to set a theme for the world to make sure they aren't being treated as a way to be gross or insulting. 2) Get things into the hands of people who can make it easier to prioritize and get full breedings of three baskets with controlled genders in a short period of time to get the breeding stock plumped out a little while there are so few members of Breeding Stock! Credits are the only way to do that as we are still at the starting gate. 3) We need to make sure that its not people getting into it just for a free goat then backing out when there are so few members currently -- we doubt you will, but there are risks of it happening and we'd rather while the breeding pool is small to keep to those we trust. We're starting out with Staff then referrals/trusted friends to insure that we can spread it out while still keeping it somewhat controlled and not just an entry for a free Goat that is rapidly removed. 4) We don't want to go public right away since this project IS Sort of sensitive and might make people uncomfortable despite the reasoning for it, and we wish to keep it from being used as a weapon. By knowing who is comfortable and interested, we can slowly spread out with your help! As Non-staffers start getting goats, they can start pairing with other non-staffers with goats and then you can give to trusted friends and introduce new people to it as well, until the herd is nice and normalized, at which point we can open this thread completely to the public!
We have no intention on making this a clique or favoritism, but with such a sensitive subject such as having only four genetically first generation goats starting a herd, isolated on a distant island out of reach of the rest of Kawani, thus making it so the third generation onward are cousins, done for the sake of experimenting with just how different they will become, we really don't want to make people uncomfortable while the rule change is still fresh. Plus, with RP limited to those who live on the island at the current time, a close community is important.
Please fill out the form with your username written correctly (sometimes when I try to copy your username for quoting by using the one above your avatar, I accidentally copy everything above you and have issues selecting all of it.). While babies D1-D5 are 1st gen due to being a rogue breeding, they are being treated as second gens. So you wont have the ability to customize them before being made official. (though you can try to get them items by other ways if desired) I will be handling the certing!
(could you please edit in the D list? Either at random or in numerical/reverse numerical order since you dont really have a preference? That way I know what to give you if you're rolled first and there isn't just one d remaining or something)
