Thanks, Feylin, for explaining the theories that homins have had on Aniro :)
Still I somehow cannot consider all of these IC-explanations as "logical", and I've already explained why. Just throwing Goo elsewhere (at the rims of the Witherings) even though the Zorai know that fire is able to destroy Goo and have promised the Kami to fight Goo, but still are reluctant to use fire - where's the logic in that?
"Cleansing the Land" is not about the meaning of "cleaning". In the German Lore it's even called "FREE the Land from the plague". How can one understand "The Land" as only a small area like the cities of Intuition? Shouldn't it be the whole of the jungle instead at least; including the rims - or even all of the nature of Atys that the Zorai respect?
Yes, there are tribes living in the Witherings today, so the meaning of "Nation" and "the Land" might be vague and questionable right now. But in the Old Lands it seems like the tribes have not been separated from the Zorai-people at first, only later on, at least the Lore indicates so.
I cannot believe that chieftain Cho had been a liar nor a trickster who would call relocating Goo from one place to another "cleansing" or "freeing" or "fighting", as that would still pollute the nature that the Zorai have sworn to respect.
The Zorai know that Goo does not just rot, transform, dissolve or vanish by itself. And the Zorai respect nature, which is the reason why they even are reluctant to use fire as the lore states - although it is one method known to all homins to destroy Goo...
So as the Zorai did not build forges as a relatively safe way to burn things like the Fyros did (which IS well-known to the Zorai for decades now) but still are sworn to fight the Goo, there MUST be another method known to the Zorai since older times to destroy/heal Goo.
This method (I still think it is some kind of magic like the Lore of 2004 had indicated) is viewed as not sufficient enough though; otherwise the Circles (on Leanon and Arispotle) would not have been told to search for other methods to heal the Goo.
The problem with the Goo is that it wells up from the bark, seemingly originating from the roots. Or is this part of German Lore also different from that on former Aniro? Well, even if homins CAN destroy Goo and will do so for the Kamis repeatedly, it is not really much that one homin can do.
And new Goo will still spread again after that from the ground. So this should explain why the Goo at the rims of the Witherings could and can not be destroyed - and why the Goo-tribes have their Goo-sources guarded (!) and fenced in ;) On Leanon we did not "know" about the magnetic wooden stones at the rims of the Witherings holding back the goo - but I think we can very easily integrate it :)
Please do not relate modern human society to homins too much. We as people don't know magic on earth, we cannot teleport, can't be resurrected, and so on. Homins on Atys do NOT have nuclear waste and they do NOT have vacuum cleaners - I think the Kamis might kill off all homins even before they can develop technology that would ruin the environment of Atys like we do on earth :D
