I figured it'd be best to break up my long-promised post into two parts, so that I can get it out sooner and it isn't a 50,000 character long leviathan of a read. So shtuff happens, it's revealed that the Horse People living in the Golden Barrens area have mostly independently (though perhaps with some help from Ventus) developed animal husbandry and started riding horses. Vetros has also grown and a big timeskip happened. But the important stuff will all have to happen in the next part of the post. So, my priorities are now: 1. Bake a bunch of khookies to appease you lot 2. Make part two of that post 3. Make another ogre post Edit: Oh, and I probably need to make like 10 sheets for random creations. Uhg. I'll have to get around to that at some point :lol If you haven't noticed my status update, on Friday I'm leaving for Canada and I'm not sure how active I'll be. We'll have to see. But over the next two days I'll try to be a busy bee. [@Kho] Ah, I've been meaning to ask if you've read a book called Things Fall Apart. Your story of the Eskandars recalled memories of that story; it's actually somewhat similar.
