To Ser Erminantius, Head of the Kitin Studies Group of the Kingdom of Verdant Heights

Dear Ser Erminantius,

First my congratulations to your success in capturing a kitin of the depths. I would like to make a few proposals concerning feeding and caretaking for the creature.

My sister Diwu and me are participating in the task of providing appropriate food for the captured kitin. We experienced arma meat, from ferocious armas, usually found northeast of Paramount Stock in the witherings, to be quite effective and nurturing. Another advantage is that this is a kind of herbivores which can be hunted quite fast, even alone or in a small team. Larger creatures like ploderos, shalah, or madakam require ways more time and cause more equipment attrittion, and are close to impossible alone and hard in a small team.

To provide some data: strength level of the creature is 192, food yield per kill was 4-16 pieces of meat. After 20-30 pieces of meat the nurturing status of the kitin changes, e.g. from "it hasn't had much food recently, it is getting angry" to "It had a snack not too long ago, but that seems to have made it want more".

I would suggest that we collect data of strength level, average yield, and satiating effect of all kinds of meat that can be given to the kitin.

Further on, I consider the location of the captured creature in the observation camp Falls of the Two Totems not ideal. For homins who are not so seasoned as fighters and mages, it is fairly dangerous and difficult to cross Folly Plain and reach the location. I can imagine, additionally, that it is not easy for the scientists observing and studying the creature to get there. Not all excellent academics are excellent warriors in addition.

Beneath that the narrow cage seems somewhat inappropriate for a creature of that kind used to cross large distances and to move a lot. This unnatural enclosure may also adversely influence the results of studying the kitin.

I would therefore suggest to ponder the following proposal:

An enclosure for the kitin may be built in Majestic Garden, either south of Yrkanis near the cliff, or similarly south of Avalae, west of Davae, or northwest of Natae. The kitin will be transported to its new home once it is ready. The first task may require construction materials to be harvested according to construction plans of royal architects and zoologists, the second possibly materials for a carriage, and the participation of homins to keep the creature safe and sleeping during all of the transport.

respectfully,

Daomei Lin Carthan
