Well, those are some massive posts that have been made while I was away this weekend. Good thing for summaries, huh? Re: Time. Time is extremely wishy-washy in this RP. Considering the vastly varied timescales we're using, it makes little sense to force everyone to have their timelines lined up, especially at this stage. Some of us would be doing things which cover maybe a few centuries (mainly to do with sentients). Some of us are doing things over longer timescales (mainly terrain and life generation). To get them to arbitrarily line up would be impractical to the extreme. Re: Gerrik. He'll become a Hero at some point (although, given the time it is taking for me to make a post, given my busy schedule, that point may be further away than desired). Whether he'll be immortal... I haven't talked about this yet, but I have anticipated Reathos' objection to a Hain's immortality ([@Legion02]), and thus have decided on a work-around. I'll need to discuss that with Legion in PM closer to that time, though. Re: Map. Remember how Teknall went and planted lots of trees? Well, thanks to that, and Zephyrion's gift of a rich and stormy atmosphere, Galbar should be thoroughly tree-covered by now. Be it thick forest or some sparse trees, there will be plant life across most of Galbar, and animal life to match, even if we haven't explicitly made any terrain in such locations. This is consistent with wildernesses across Earth. Wide-open plains are rare on many continents. Trees tend to cover such places, unless they're deserts. Study is really picking up over here. However, there's a midsemester break in about a week, so that should help a little for me to catch up. Hopefully. It's rather inconvenient, really. I set myself up as Builder of Civilisations, then when civilisations need building I'm not available. Oh well.
