It's way too late for this to matter, but in the original lore for the game, S'Kra tails were totally and completely vestigial. They ranged in length from mid thigh to just below the knee. The longer your tail was, the higher social standing you were said to have. For all intents and purposes, however, they were dead and useless. At some point, a long-since departed GM who will remain unnamed went off on their own little tangent and before anyone (i.e., Zoha) could say, "Heywaitaminute!", tail sheaths/quivers were released, along with several other items and verbs that made direct reference to a) tails being long enough to touch the ground, b) tails being strong enough to support anything other than decorative items like tailbands and boobrie feathers (which, unless something has changed, you should still be able to SKIN a boobrie and WEAR the resulting feathers on your tail, in case that's been lost to the ages), and c) S'Kra having actual control over their tails enough to move them at all. By the time it was caught, it was way too late. Tails, in accordance with What Should Have Been, are totally different when compared to What Is. Just thought I'd share that little tidbit.
