Zendae:

On the subject of indefinite pronouns:

The rule seems to be that Mateis takes the interrogative pronouns and adds one of three suffixes for either a positive (-ilya), neutral (-mine), or negative (-ne) meaning. "Negative" in the sense that "-ne" leads to the opposite meaning of "-ilya". That holds true for three of the five groups of pronouns:

- "mailya/mane" (everything/nothing)

- "larilya/lane" (everywhere/nowhere)

- "yeilya/yene" (everyone/nobody)

However, in the cases of "ilne" and "manyane" it is different:

- "ililya/ilne" (all the time/ever)

- "manyailya/manyane" (by all means/by any means)

Perhaps the creators were going for linguistic realism, where some things do not make sense. Logically, I would say that "ilne" and "manyane" should mean "never" and "by no means", respectively. Any thoughts or suggestions on this would be much appreciated. [Lorelai 2026-04-19]

Hello Lorelai ! You are right it seems mistakes came into those words list. The complete "grid" should be this

lar (where)| il (when)| ma (what)| ye (who)| manya (how) 
larmine (somewhere)| ilmine (sometime)| mamine (something)| yemine (somebody)| manyamine (somehow) 
larilya (everywhere)| ililya (everytime)| mailya (everything)| yeilya (everybody)| manyailya (anyway) 
larne (nowhere)| ilne (never)| mane (nothing)| yene (nobody)| manyane (noway) 

knowing that "mine" = one, "ilya" = with, and "ne" here stands for "nec" = no (not ne=I). The "c" from nec is eluded to soften the word. But I think you can but it again if you are angry for eg. ILNEC ! = NEVER !

The '''weakest''' kitins are the flying ones.

Then come the kirostas and kipuckas, whose vitality is '''modest''' but which an '''armoring''' protects.

The kitin '''workers''' enjoy a '''reinforced''' vitality, probably necessary to carry out their work.

The kinrey is an '''elite soldier'''; moreover it is encountered mainly in Prime Roots, where its vitality is thus worth '''twice''' the value given here.

The kincher is well known for his '''exceptional''' vitality among other characteristics.

Less known, the kidinak is even more vigorous, and moreover is heavily armored.

And far above the others is the kizarak, which has a similar vitality to those creatures called '''Bosses'''.

The kitin '''soldiers''' (kirosta and kinrey) stand out clearly from the lot. All the other kitins strike with almost the same strength.

As for the special blows, the most '''devastating''' are those of the kincher and the kinrey: powerful and fast, they are able to carry two of them successively.

==Attack pace==

The difference between "worker", "regular" and "elite" kitins is found again clearly here.

However, the apparent attack pace has to be balanced by their use of '''special blows'''.

These can take time (kidinak, kipesta) or on the contrary be very fast (kincher, kinrey), without altering the flow of normal blows.

==Moving speed==

This table shows the number of seconds required for the kitin to travel '''100 m'''.

By way of comparison, a running '''homin''' covers 100 m in about 17.25 s, or only 9 s in a frantic run, which cannot last indefinitely. Mounted on a mektoub, it also takes 9 seconds to cover this distance.

Among the kitins, the kipesta and the kincher are '''champions'''.

The workers (kipee, kipucka) don't need to go very fast, and the elite kitins, defenders of kitins' lairs, don't rely on their speed either.

The ''h.s. factor'' gives the ratio between the speed of a kitin and that of a homin. The kipucka moves barely faster than we do.

==Measured charasteristics==

There are '''two kinds''' of charasteristics for a creature :

* the '''intrinsic''' charasteristics of a sub-specie, for example the '''moving speed''';
* the '''variable''' characteristics which are changing according to the specimen size, for example '''vitality''' or '''power'''.

So for example the '''vitality''' of a '''nettled kincher''' will be less than the one of a '''great kincher''' of course.

Nonetheless behind each variable characteristic a constant characteristic – '''intrinsic''' – is hiding

Thus vitality is variable, but the "vital quotient" - the value of the increment of vitality between two successive specimen sizes - is as for him a '''constant''' (or almost). It will be discussed in details further.

In the end, for each kitin, we evaluated:

* Vitality (hp) => vital quotient
* Striking strength (dmg) => attack quotient
* Strike pace (hit per minute)
* Special attacks (strength, effect, speed)
* Moving speed (km/h)
* Detection radius (m)
* Defense mode (parry or dodge)
* Immunities and physical and magical resistance (%)
* Sociability (behavior)

Here are the '''strength''' and '''vitality''' of the '''kincher''' species, for all known sizes. The table shows the delta (Δ) between each level.
The kitins can be filed into '''series''', shown here by '''colors'''.

Between each level, the gain in strength and vitality is almost '''constant''', except for the last of its series which receives '''double'''.

We call the vitality gain constant "vital quotient" and the strike force one "attack quotient".

Here, for the kincher, those are respectively 520 hp and 41 dmg.

For the '''kizoar''', the attack quotient follows the same rule.

The vital quotient too, despite '''irregularities''', especially for the yellow series, which does not exist for the kincher.

However, as the yellow series gathers kitins that can be killed in one go anyway, we will not take that into account.

Note that the '''largest''' of the '''kizoars''' has '''less vitality''' than the '''smallest''' of the kinchers…

Vital quotient of the kizoar : '''195''' (based on an average)

'''<big><big>Preface</big></big>'''

{{Quotation|''Filira Erminantius, Viscount of Avalae|

I'm still remembering the day when the seed of the SKA was planted.

We were at an Avalae assembly where we were debating on what we had to do to face up to the numerous mounts that the kitins of the depths had made on Atys. It was blindingly obvious for lots of us that we had to get rid of them as quickly and safely as possible. But a few of us have seen an opportunity in this extremely rare event.

Any general of the army worthy of this name will tell you that the knowledge of the ennemy gives you an advantage during the war against this one.

We have decided, a small number of Matis, to embark on the study of our ennemy, the Kitin.

The Karan Stevano trusted us and gave us carte blanche on the subject. We had first to prove that we were able to organise ourselves and that efficiency was there.

Since the Kitin doesn't make any difference between the homins, we have hence proposed to the other civilized people of Atys to join us so that they could also contribute to this adventure.

Today the SKA is existing, and we're trying to rebuild an efficient search against the Kitin. Our ultimate goal is the destuction of the kitins. But before that we'll have to go through steps such as better knowing it, better defending against it, better figthing it.

Any homin with a bit of intelligence can ask himself "When will the third great swarm come?". No one can tell today, but what is certain is that nothing allows to say it will never come. But when this day will come, will we have done everything to be able to fight it better? Will we be once more forced to endure exodus? If the SKA is existing it's precisely for us to be strong enough at the day of the third big swarm not to have to flee.

We, Matis, have started this adventure. And today we are proud and happy to see that the Tryker people and the Zorai people have joined us in this adventure. We keep of course good relationships with the Rangers in order to make mutal profits.

Today the SKA has the honour of making available to the homins a base document on the detailed characteristics of the kitins on their fighting abilities.

I want to thank especially the serae Zendae for bringing this study to fruition. Along with all those who have brought their help in the making of this book. Be it a one day or an every moment help, be it on the ground or in the libraries. Every received help is useful and acceptable.

May the SKA progress and succeed.}}

'''<big><big>Introduction</big></big>'''

::This publication gathers all known information thus far on the fighting characteristics of the kitins.
::It is based first on the researches coming from amber cubes.
::Regarding each kitin, part of the information comes from the measurements done by an old tryker guild (Ballistic Mystix)<ref>See [https://ballisticmystix.net hre] the compilation of its works.</ref>.But these measurements have been greatly extended by the ones of the SKA members, in order to have a complete database.
::This publication gives as well tables with a global view than a detailed record for each kitin, along with a comment by the Master of Arms.
