@Raptorman Sounds good :) I'll make it that a good portion of the population have converted to the Source Faith, as well as add some Nier to the citizenry.

Ah, missed the rift sea actually. Yeah, gonna go with that then :)

Empires of Sand

Still trying to sorta figure it out myself, not quite sure what to go with :P

Although what can be said, is for one concept that is, I'm thinking of a maritime-ish type city, relying on the sea (and possibly the river if Cruiser hasn't claimed it.) for trade and local economy(probably will ditch the crystal bit).

So question: Who is settled around the coasts of the Great Sea? Thinking of setting my faction somewhere there.
