[quote=Dark Jack]The part of them being arctic is news to me, though... did I miss that somewhere? Was it mentioned? [/quote]
A bit of metagaming on my part, I guess... But yeah, whenever they have been placed on a map they have been up in the north, and while not all of them are the arctic type (those not quite so far up are a bit smaller and much darker in color), they certainly aren't tropical...

[quote=Dark Jack](most notably having to deal with Melenian ships and pirates)[/quote]
Why would the Melenians take interest in a people who can crush bones with ease and take their time in being stopped by wounds, but don't particularly care for riches of any kind... I would imagine the pirates would learn to leave them alone quite quickly, never mind that del-korm probably do not seafare all that much besides occasionally to the nearest coast. (Don't take my word on it, I just haven't seen them described as taking much interest in the sea, and I don't imagine they would myself.)

(It is unsustainable, that word there, no 'r'.)

Hrm... And I believe it is you in the collab, Ashgan with Jillian, and Merc on the Zerul-side (and Yoshua being undetermined for the time being)?
