[@Chairman Stein] One suggestion for your NS- given your high population, you ought to be located near a major water (and thus food) source.

[@Darkmatter] No objections from me on your idea. The door could be archeo-tech,  or just the ruins of a former non-advanced civilization. Magic, or tech, or whatever you want it to be. My only worry is that they'll have little reason for interaction with anyone, so maybe give them a reason/means for relationships with other factions.

[@neogreggory]  Sounds good. [s]Instead of tucked away in the middle of nowhere, maybe base them out of someone elses faction? Make them nomadic? More room for interaction.[/s]

[@Arawak] Please put your WIP NS in the Character Tab with UNAPPROVED at the top. Just easier for  me to keep track. Thanks! It looks good!

[@Dead Cruiser] Sounds good, can't wait to see it. My faction will be somewhat similar, so our dudes will have to hate each other.

[@Pepperm1nts] You make some good points regarding the trading cities and tucked-away fortresses. any ideas on your faction?

[@ClocktowerEchos] something orky would be great.

@all: Anybody good with paint? Any volunteers for putting together a map? I just need a basic, interesting looking landmass, and I will fill in features, factions, etc.
