This is an interesting page. Thought maybe you should look at it for Arraka'ar. There are only a few things we haven't thought out there, I think, but working out all the details could be a fun project.

World Building.

That's quite detailed... I shall pass it along.
There's a bit of a mess at City Hall, evidently. Someone smelled smoke and they've evacuated the building, shut down streets around it, general chaos, and have yet to find a single bloody thing amiss.

Oh dear. Well, uh, don't go there? ;)

[shadowtricker]

I just thought you might want to know, in case anyone starts going on about it at work. I expect it will turn out to be something very minor, but it's a lot of fuss.

[the_wugglyump]

Hrm. Watch it be dust in the heating ducts or something.

You know, I think I've already got at least a vague answer for every question there. Be a good idea to sit down and try writing them all out based on that thing, though. It might generate some material I could slap into the encyclopedia thing.
Which ones do you feel aren't thought out? Calendar is the only one I have absolutely no idea on. The rest I've got something for, even if I don't have a lot of details yet. Maybe we could go over it together?

Well, hon, I don't know all of what's in your head, and a lot of it you don't have down on paper, so... ;) The legal system and fashion and dress could use some more work, I think, and the calendar. They need holidays. I'd love to go over it with you. :D

The calendar and holidays thing is definitely something that needs to be worked on. I dunno, I have some idea of fashion, like the desert people wearing loose clothing, basically large pieces of cotton. Textiles are obviously something they've got a surplus of what with all the goat farming, and you want scarves you can wrap different ways to keep out sand and wind on bad weather days. lighter in the warmer north, darker and more blacks in the colder south (where Glyn lives). City fashion is less practical and more heavily based on human influences, you've seen what I draw characters in.
Legal system is sketchy, but we've generated a lot of ideas in the games, whenever we needed them. Similar legal system as far as trials and imprisonment, maybe no death sentences but exportation/exile instead, very small police system and more reliance on bounty hunters and corporate/personal security. A lot of stuff I just haven't found time to write out.

I like Casslan's clothes. He dresses cool. B-)

I think it would be neat to have some more of this stuff written out. I know it will come in time, though.

... Budgie. Oh, Budgie. How I adore thee.

*hugs the website*

[the_wugglyump]

Isn't it great?? :D You're welcome.

I was writing this story (I'll keep at it after NaNo) and this will SO help me with this world. I think the reason why I was having trouble with it was because I didn't really know how to plan the world out.

Sometimes the world builds itself, and sometimes you really have to work at it.
