This is fine but I fail to see why there is only one dwarf tribe.

You could get by the althainions with 100 devisions of tanks unnoticed as long as they didn't travel right through where they are growing which is very predictible becouse they follow the orbit of the floating islands. This is the same for the Areon region which like althainon is sparcely populated even in pre cataclism times and localized in specific areas. As for Nin'calaris i don't know, little has been done in describing it. But the point is Orcs can get by the Althainions and Areons they just can't kick them out of their respectable regions (yet anyway :) ). You are right about Sol'Daran, Skyghaim, and trolls though. > I am still quite strongly against a single starting location so if > you'll excuse my reluctance, I simply think there SHOULD BE different > starting locations for different people due to a number of reasons. This is fine. Let me rephrase my proposal to "lets have Lamarhen as ONE of the starting areas and the one we focus our attention on at the moment" I would also like to ask how many start areas would you like there to be? I would think beyond 4 would be to many. > Well...

That is fine also but somewhere in ALL starting locations ( notice the plural) there should be some followers or temple or information about these gods. Joshua 'hook' Corning hook@majik3d.org
