We are not going to place any buildings in starting locations? I'd believe we could make some sort of city for them. I'd believe mortals would stay there and nearby enviroment that 10 years without too much need to expand. Besides, we could always let them hibernate that time as I said. It wouldn't cause anymore problems, we don't need three descs. Actually we need this way only stories (not detailed descs) how things were before the cataclysm and list of changes for things that have occured since then. In my updated beduin text I tell as an ancient what I know of Brahjian life before the cataclysm. I have also started to writing another file which explains how things changed in the desert after cataclysm. If we use this style to descripe things we can avoid a lot useless work. Of course we still need to descripe those starting locations - Beregar Dar'Edalth (Beregar@Majik3D.org)
