[quote=@Ewin Rysell] There are rivers there?! XD I guess they could just find it difficult to harvest the water (salt-water/sea lagoons etc.) *Sorry about the absence, uni work and stuff. And I would like to follow my own story leading up to the Xian'se court if that's okay? [/quote] Ya the topographic map is below the political one. Your country looks like Louisiana with all those rivers. Lols But we can say that the rivers are either badly polluted or during the way down the mountains they dissolve toxic levels of salt. You can enter the IC however you want. Just leave someone at the court, so that we have an easier time following the story line. It's fine life happens. I just wanted to make sure you were OK.
