guuys i do be thinking about more worldbuilding for naath and the summer isles.
i'm a vegetarian so i'm interested in knowing how naathi cuisine would work + if they have a lot butterflies that means a lot of biodiversity so i think they should have vegetal cheeses & milk from cashews, protein from shredded jackfruit that you can fry so it has the same texture as chicken, mushrooms or lamb's ear.
silk should have a great significance in their culture with different families producing their own patterns and being a way to burry the dead (partially inspired by some cultures in Madagascar).
i think the villages and urban settlements of Naath could work like the garden towns in the Amazon Rainforest
i think the summer isles + naath should have their own Long Night mythology but rather than have snows and the cold it could be a dry season (Naath) and i haven't figured out how it would work in the summer isles yet but i think it could be a flood season or a season with treacherous winds that would make it difficult to sail.
the talking trees is such a cool thing and it connects to the weirwoods because it's a way to tie the past with the present and the future, you get it, so i think they could have a huge cultural significance and having a class of people that is trained to continuosly register the history of the summer isles in the trees.
i think afrobrazilian (and afrolatin culture as a whole) culture has lots and lots of cool inspirations for the summer isles
