If you want to start writing up 1000 years of timeline, fine. > And where did that 1000 years come from anyway I don't want to write up 1000 year time line. That's the point its a waste of time. I choose a 1000 years because this is the approximate time it took Christians to convert all the pagans of europe to christianity. Presumably it would take that long to convince the Brajians and Dwarves etc. to give up their gods as well. > Sinister anwered this already. There is no point wondering what the people > WOULD do.

Why would you give up believing in your gods if you knew they existed. The Althainions get healed by their god the Brajians definitely know their god exists and knows what would happen if they defied Aluna. That desert they live in is a monument to what happens to those who defy the gods. > Well.

All I want is to remove the need for the mortals to have to give up their religions and cultures and that the cause and effects of the cataclysm came suddenly and unexpectedly. Think of a compromise I am all ears for suggestions. Joshua 'hook' corning hook@majik3d.org
