Is the UEE like the Borg here? Are the Tevarin fully assimilated? Are there places where the Tevarin are completely, totally integrated with humans?
Dave Haddock · Narrative team

I mean, the hope is that, yes, that there's a lot of that, that you would just see them walking down the street, and if they're living in the UEE and they're part of the culture, that they're just living in cities and doing their thing. Of course, like Jeremy and Adam were talking about, there's the diaspora and stuff like that, where they are living outside of the UEE but are trying to maintain or rebuild some of their culture. But again, the hope is that down the road, once we get Tevarin characters in game and stuff like that, we could modulate basically how many or how few there are based on location. But the idea is that you theoretically could walk around Area18 and just pass a Tevarin who's getting a frosty.

Jeremy · Narrative team

Yeah, and I mean, they went through a full civilization collapse, essentially, after the Second War. And so I think there's been hundreds of years since then. And so there's been time for Tevarin to either fall through the cracks and be in the underworld of human civilization, not really in any registered way, or to become more civilized and get representation through Sujikasi and all that. Whether they're officially integrated or part of it doesn't necessarily mean they're enjoying all the same freedoms or all the same regard in day-to-day life. But I think from the point of view of the UEE, there's ideas that Tevarin also serve in the military and all these things. So they are able to be fully integrated in that way. Whether they want to be, whether in practice that translates to an equitable day-to-day experience, I think is another matter. And then for those that want a life outside of that, that's where Branaugh is, I think, really taking root for the culture.

And the Tevarin aren't allowed to have their own military or anything, right, because they're part of the UEE?

Dave Haddock · Narrative team

Yeah, they don't have their own bespoke territory that's allocated to them or anything like that. They're just part of it.
