I thought I found one back in the Starmetal cave. You could see the tiny rectangular fragment of V's body behind the dragon's tail. This led me to believe that V was male, that was, untill we saw V's mate, who is ambiguously gendered as well. V's mate has a rectangular body too.
So this has led me to believe that the base gender of the OOTS world is male, because drawing male bodies is easier than female ones.

Nice find on that message. That's way too deep for me to have ever discovered in a million years.
I think I found where we saw that script before. Check if the runes on the gates are part of that alphabet, or annother alphabet. The resulting letters that are found could spell a word in the order the gates are revealed. (ie, Dorukan's gate, Lirian's gate, Soon's gate...)
