Production-wise, Novakid are a "bonus race", created due to meeting a stretch goal. Why entrust anything with such meaning to the entire universe to a race that don't even care to keep track of themselves? The reason they are not in the story is more likely because, due to their short attention span, any artifact that could have been bestowed upon them would have been kicked into a corner and lost rather quickly.

Their official description more infers that their existence is attributed to randomness, as anything else, reading off of the usage of "emergent beauty". The idea seems to be that novakid don't record things due to their short attention spans, but I very much wish they had more concrete lore.Ĭouldn't they at least have oral traditions and stories passed down through generations until recorded by some scholar that encountered them? Tales that are only barely believable, but novakid "history" nonetheless.īut. It seems like a really threadbare connection to me, hardly well implied and much less concerned, and I don't to believe it, but eh, that's what some people are utterly convinced of.
