wait, are there adult jadebloods in the brooding caverns on alternia? or is it just like. a bunch of jadeblood kids who somehow know what to do

Jadebloods are a weird case. If there’s any actual adult on Alternia, I would have to guess they’re Jadebloods, since they’re a sort of special Caste, however if we go by the statement that there’s “no adults on alternia, no Xceptions”, as the truth and not just a half-truth told to the lower castes, then… Well.

I wouldn’t say they’re a bunch of kids that “somehow know what to do”, rather they’re a bunch of poor teens that are forced into nurturing, caretaker roles from a young age.
