Well, WAG time, forumites. Is it more or less likely than 50% that the sub-tropical areas of
Jötunheim where the ASNs have their settlements might have giant insects, magical or otherwise, that produce a useful shellac substitute?
I rolled a 10, so if it's 50% or more likely, the ASNs get to harvest
Jötunheim giant insect goo for all their shellac-related needs, but if is it is
less likely than that, in y'all's opinion, they are out of luck in that department.
I'm aware that any opinions can't be based on entirely scientific principles, as you lack a lot of knowledge about the place (much of which I haven't even decided on yet) and
Jötunheim is explicitly not an Earth-like world and while it does have some species that are analogous to Earth fossils from the
Mesozoic, it also has lots of magical variations and some entirely biologically impossible flora and fauna. But, uh, your gut feeling and any analogies you want to draw must guide you.
