@ Banjomike:
Probably emphasizing that this culture values all life, not just intelligent life. So Ryn doesn’t assume he meant “just” people.
That’s definitely the reason, but it still feels a lil’ awkward. I think it could be best resolved by changing the guard’s dialogue slightly to make Ryn’s response seem more natural.
Also, it is still very funny how Ryn made a big, bold dramatic play that turned out to be exactly what was going to happen anyway 😛
This used to be in the setting page, I think? The world has multiple intelligent species (humans, dragons, etc.), so ‘creatures’ is their catch-all term for all of them, while ‘people’ is just, well, people.
Why does Ryn say “Creatures died”?
@ Banjomike:
Might’ve been a mistranslation? “People died?” would probably have been a better translation there.

@ Banjomike:
In Gaia there are other intelligent species. At least imps and dragons. “People” would refer just to humans.
