[quote=@Mokley] I admit I had written out a whole list of counter-points and objections and ideas, only to come to the conclusion that there is nothing in this CS or about Colchetta that should change. So, Rosella Burke and Colchetta are approved. Please copy to the Characters tab. :) There may be plotty things that will surround Colchetta's prosperity, however, and I maintain that there are no other settlements remotely as successful as this one. It's an oasis in a world of chaos. [/quote] Yay! I appreciate your willingness to accept my ideas, truly. I realize I wasn't quite going in the direction the RP was, but I did try to check myself as much as possible. Great light casts the darkest shadows, so I imagine plenty of intrigue and chaos will stem from Colchetta's society as it develops in-game. And don't get me wrong--the death toll is still very high in Colchetta, and they fight every day to maintain their walls. They've just established a center of economy that can support the heavy demand on population. A single imbalance could ruin their prosperity, and they are acutely aware of that (hence so much anti-magic and anti-madness sentiments). Their fate is in your hands!
