It’s good that Viv hasn’t forgotten about her team just because she’s in a new adventure. But Illias looks like he has a better handle on the greater situation than she does.
If there’s no meat-farming animals, then there’s no secondary industry of leather production from those animals. So what are the shoes and boots made from? For that matter, the leather gloves an leather jerkins seen on many characters in Gaia. Belts and suitcases might be woven from cloth, so some shoes might be as well, but then, they might not.
@ Vicious Sand:
Perhaps some particularly hardy treebark? Maybe they’ve figured out rubber production, and it’s shaping.
The decision to make actual meat and the raising for slaughter taboo is … it’s a very weird worldbuilding choice, that upsets a number of different contemporary industries we’d expect. Taken to the logical end, it probably upsets a great deal.
If there are “meat fruits”, then there are also probably “skin fruits” that give some leather-type material. Maybe some of the meat fruits have some leather around… ?
That third panel 😛 😛 😛
