The thought of modern kennings is interesting - skysteed = airplane, for example.
And Daughters of the Apocalypse anything.
Maybe theres a tri-part or quintruple-part form of interlocking poetry that could work for a 3 or 5 species community:
- Wolf/human/raven occur in nature
-Zebra/wildebeest/gazelle might be done with a few remixes Add in ostriches as mounts and humans migrating with the herds and you'd have 5 species... Possibly remix the wildebeest with cattle/buffalo and the zebras with horses as needed...
- Up north, reindeer, canids and humans. Maybe ravens, but I can't think of a fifth...
- Different cetaceans, maybe, cofishing with humans? Smaller ones could work near the shore, while bigger ones could chase stuff in from the deep sea...
- I've not seen any nonhumans in DoA using humans as an impromptu medic service...that would be interesting, too.
