Breeding Grounds

Breeding Grounds are sacred communal sites of the Sa’auei’a. They are permanently occupied mainly by infants, infirm adults, caretakers, rotating specialists, and allied organisms.

Social Role

They are not cities. They are reproductive commons, legal anchors, memory reservoirs, medical centers, and ritual thresholds.

Adults return to breed, recover, teach, mourn, settle disputes, and renew obligations. Most then leave again with their family units.

Constraint

If a breeding ground becomes a capital, the Sa’auei’a system starts breaking. Permanent concentration would invite hierarchy, resource exhaustion, ecological resentment, and imperial-style capture.
