Wait, does OOP take place during the future?! Are we going to see some Adventure Time shit here, because that's both interesting and a bit out of left field!

My bet's on this being an alien planet with all the humans being descendants of space-faring colonists.

It's cool when someone making a story puts this amount of detail into their craft.

This is my favorite kind of furry porn.

Yeah it seems clear that the setting is *some* variety of post-apocalyptic world; the real question is just if it's Earth, or if it's another planet in our universe, or if it's in some other universe altogether that has no connection to our Earth. And of course, there's always the question of what *kind* of apocalypse it was; it could easily be anywhere from "fall of the Roman Empire" to "total nuclear annihilation."

Of course, it's very apparent that "Zat Zhing" was an Antiquity of some (very advanced) variety, and Narklet is clearly searching for more of them (and, presumably, where they originated from). But is it magic? Or just sufficiently advanced technology? In a society as un-advanced as this one, is there really much of a difference? And even more importantly - why would it transform a human into a yinglet, when yinglets have only *existed* for 138 years?

Maybe this advanced civilisation that made the gem stone kept Yinglets as pets at least when they were pre-sapient. Whatever ended their civilisation perhaps someone made those stones in a bid to save the Yinglet race. (like humans on Earth trying to save whales)

But i think what's more likely is that the stone is of a magical nature and when Lopin picked it up off the beach he activeated it.

The stone either copied Lopin's physiology (not the gender) apone touch and then turned the next person that gripped it too hard into the same speices as Lopin.
Or
The stone was always intended to turn non-Yinglet races into female Yinglets by design in a bid to save the race from overbreeding males. (Who is the creator an intellegnet Yinglet or sympathetic human)

Either way whatever buried the past of this gem lies with the events before Year Zero.
The silent ages exist in a bid to wipe history i reckon.

I also don't think it's Earth either future or past. The way this story is done i don't think the aim is for the story to be overly familiar in regards to what we know about Earth already.

The maker is going down a more unknown route which will always lead to more questions, if we don't know the nature of the world before even with the Val Salian Guides we can't guess the lore. (That will open up more paths to explore)

If Earth's history is the past for them then when we get into knowing more about said past we'd just be learning about the same old story of Earth (nuclear armageddon etc.) it just loses it's magic.

An orginal world with a past that we can't fill in the gaps without help from the comic keeps us guessing and makes the story more interesting.

If i wasn't poor i would give you so much money

Baramor feels like the Kingdom of Eftal from Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind,which was the sole nation with a lot of pre-apocalypse technology and factories to build those.

Brakka not lopin (picked from unknown location)

If the Yinglet who picked up the stone "activated it" to Yinglet physiology, the stone may have also activated to transform something into a combatible partner for them--since any Scavenger yinglets would have been male, it would have been coded to transofrm the victim into a female yinglet no matter hwo it was.

Lopin got it from Brakka, but Brakka likely stole it from somebody else.
