I have the preface up for a new series of CARCOSA locations I plan on spamming: short write-ups of villages, citadels, dungeons, towers, etc. The preface details some assumptions regarding men and society on CARCOSA that inform my take on the setting: thedoomedworldcarcosa.wordpress.com/2012/11/26/carcosa-locations/The first location is a village, which I'll post in the next couple days. |

The women of Carcosa laying eggs (as on Barsoom) rather than giving live birth makes a LOT of sense, plus (even more importantly) it has the right vibe. My personal Carcosa henceforth includes egg-laying women! ;D

This is great stuff - as usual!  I really like the barsoomesque egg laying business and the notion of eusocial differences between sexes. Looking forward to this series! |

I see how egg laying can free up 9 months of the potential warrior woman's schedule, but what about the physical drain of producing eggs and nursing young? these place clear limits on the female body. if both genders rear the young then do both genders also nurse? do the "humans" of carcosa even nurse. Or are they not even mammals, but just birds who mostly resemble mammals? That could be interesting. Maybe the snake men were the vanguard of a mammal-less world, and the "humans" were bred into the shape of the men of earth so as to serve as "Human" sacrifices to the largely human focused cosmic evils...
