I have already said that our descs describe "what was" instead of what is. Should be quite clear already. As I said in a mail before: (quote) The current descs describe "What was" before the Cataclysm, and they will be utilized in the sense that we take a desc, shake the details a bit to integrate the effects of the Cataclysm, and slap it in the world. (end of quote) The above means that we do not need to do new descs for the areas. We just utilize the descs we already have as a corrupted version due to the Cataclysm. For example, "the Gwalmur have a great King's Hall in a huge cave in the depths of Bral'Gaur" -> "The Gwalmur have a destroyed King's Hall with broken pillars and torn wall ornaments in the depths of Bral'Gaur" Get it? :) > Next if the religions and cultures are given up then what is the point > of the cataclysm.

Its a complete role reversal. The point of the Cataclysm is to explain why we have only a handfull of mortals in the world in the beginning of the game. -- _/_ /Atte "Yorkaturr" Koivula <yorkaturr@majik3d.org>
