"I didn't ask you to name something that wouldn't kill you, I asked for something on Fenris that isn't deadly."

That. Is priceless.

And apparently trees on Fenris are as deadly as the predators there.

On fenris not every fish can kill you either.

And where are you getting this tid bit? Because as far as fluff goes every type of fish ever mentioned in Fenrisian fluff can kill a human.

Impossible. There cannot be predators without prey, therefore there must be something at the bottom of the food pyramid to provide sustenance for these killer fish. The climate on Fenris is simply too harsh for humans to breed enough to be the sole food source for all these animals.

@Warboss: Where are the deadly trees on Fenris? BTW, if something can't try and kill you, it isn't really classed as deadly.

BTW, we do have man-eating trees here in Australia.

And tht's with the advanced technology at hand.

Fenris isn't even a close second when compared to Catachan. Imagine swapping the population of Fenris with that of Catchan. The people of Catachan would probably handle themselves pretty well once they got used to the cold, compared to home it'd be a holiday. As for the Fenrisians? They'd last 30 minutes at most.

It's well established that Catachan takes the cake, and I don't see why people are still trying to place Fenris as running second.

umm no that's not how it works, one thing actually trying to kill another does not make it deadly it just shows intent to kill. A 3 year old with a rubber duck could try to kill someone that dosen't mean that he or she is deadly.

If a person slips and falls off a clif that's high enough it can be deadly, but by your logic because the cliff didn't activly try to kill the person it isn't 'classed' as deadly. A soldier inhales mustard gas and it kills him, but again by your logic the gas didn't activly try to kill him so it isn't deadly. Your statement implies that only something with intelligence (as only things with intelligence can choose to try anything) can be classed as deadly. Yet hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes, fludds, fires, landslides, avalanches, explosions, gases, temperature, starvation, dehydration and many many more things which do not have intelligence (or life for that matter) and do not try to activley kill anyone are all considered deadly.

Nice semantic arguement here. You done?

Anything that can kill wether it tries to do it or not is deadly including trees. So saying that Catachan is deadlier then Fenris because even the trees and other plants can kill you doesen't make it a harder place to live because on Fenris trees and plants can kill you as well and can be just as deadly. The differance comes when the plants of Catachan activley try to kill.

What exactly are Fenrisians doing that makes the trees deadly?

Because you're failing so far.

On Fenris when a child is born it's given an axe, if it dosen't grab the axe then it's killed because it won't be strong enough to survive and will use up resources.

Which is really dumb and superstitious when you think about it, and nothing like the natural way in which Catachan's are weaned out.
