LORE

Naturalist’s Note Love Bugs gather wherever Forgekin live in close-knit communities. They are attracted not to flowers or food, but to moments of genuine affection: reunited friends, protected offspring, forgiven rivals, and companions standing together against danger. A Love Bug’s warm glow appears to strengthen these emotional bonds, allowing nearby Forgekin to endure hardships that might otherwise overwhelm them. Their habit of nudging unfamiliar creatures together is usually harmless, though it has caused more than one unintended friendship, and several memorable arguments. Researchers remain divided on whether Love Bugs create affection or merely reveal what was already present.
