Yulebuilding

(Sorry that this is late!)

Greetings, everyone! Yuletide contains multitudes, and a chunk of those multitudes would really like to request worldbuilding. Thus, here is a sub-challenge post for those of us who love worldbuilding, either on the giving or receiving end.

To participate

• Leave a comment on this fic with a link to your letter if you are interested in receiving worldbuilding. Optionally, add any extra worldbuilding likes and prompts you may have into your comment.
• If you don't have a letter, you can still leave prompts here! Please ensure your comment includes your AO3 username, requested fandoms, and any characters you're requesting.
• When uploading your fic to the archive, tag it with Yulebuilding and Worldbuilding so the rest of us can find it!

It's not necessary to interact with Yulebuilding in any way to give or request worldbuilding for Yuletide, but this post is here to make life easier. Enjoy!

Requesting: Machineries of Empire, A Memory Called Empire, Guardian (TV), Uplift saga

Some prompts:

Machineries of Empire (Jedao)
How has the society changed while Jedao's been in the black cradle? What's moth society like? What are wild moths like? What sorts of calendars have heretics set up? What sorts of huge alterations happened when the Liozh got excised from the calendar?

A Memory Called Empire (Mahit Dzmare, Three Seagrass)
How does Lsel Station run? What are the aliens Lsel Station has spotted? What's up with the grid and the Sunless? How do the Teixcalaanli name their children in depth?

Guardian (Zhu Jiu)
Where does Dixing get its food and energy; what does it grow in the cave? Zhu Jiu mentions the heroes of Dixing Zhu Long and Jiu Yin; what heroics did they do, and is Zhu Long a relative of Zhu Jiu's? How do Dixing powers work? Are there any other Yashou but the four kinds we see on the show?

Uplift saga (Creideiki)
What's it like to think in Trinary all day? What's the uplift process like at the midpoints, either as a legitimate or illegitimate one? What sorts of hijinks with galactic bureaucracy would Earthclan get involved in? What's going on with the progenitors?
