Yay! :D Plan to give a closer look tomorrow, so if everything's ok (and Azhira entries usually don't miss a thing!) it could make it already in this weekend's update. :) History can still be added later, and the XXX should be doable in the next days methinks. Anyway, will have a look soon - until then!

Comments ahead!

- Your mentioning of the "Hero's Pool" reminds me of that orcen tale posted in the Library... I hope it's possible to finally get this on the site as well, and that there's a way you can compromise on Talia's comments without having to change everything dramatically. Especially as the myth is also referred to in this entry. Anyway, here's hope for that, I really liked that one! :D

- I assume the picture we have in the Caaehl Mountains entry is actually Hero's Pool, so in that case we can use the picture here as well, eh?

-Didn't find anything problematic throughout the whole entry, Azhria :) You have a firm grip on your area, where tribe development (Aeh'os'th'er'oc  and Kaaer'dar'shin), history, geographical environment, even myth and lore with the Hero's Pool tale all come together and add something to the general picture. Like this river, which is not just a river - and as we can see one can write a whole lot about something which seems rather simple like water flowing from A to B... *haha*

Even fauna and flora are richly present, even the famous stone/rock crab is here, which has crept through a dimensional hole from Tamriel, maybe with a shortcut through the Netherworlds or something...

Anyway, very much enjoyed the read, Azhira! Good to see a vision of developing an area being followed, and adding the missing parts of the puzzle bit by bit with such love for detail!

And here's the nitpick portion of this post with some minor things to fix:

- "During the winter, the Kharim and Avessa at this location tend to freeze over come winter..." - Could better be written "Come winter, the Kharim and Avessa at this location tend to freeze over for the months of the cold period..."

- "Oun'tran'phu fields" is a proper name, so you should write it "Oun'tran'phu Fields". Same with "Themed'lon forest", "Caaehl mountains" further down.

- "Finally, the Kharim's journey is at an end when it exists into the seas on either side of the peninsula." - *hehe* I'm sure it still exists there, but I would propse to let it "exit". :D A bit further down again: "Finally, the river exists..." - I call that existentalism à la Azhira!  cool

- "eastern most side" - should be "easternmost" methinks...

- "Herds of ulgaroth and Thunderfoot beasts ..." (thunderfoot)

- "coloration" (colouration), "behaviors" (behaviours)

- "For generations, both of the fish has been a food staple for the orcs and Kaaer." (have)

- "In the river young red salmon (also known as "kuk'arg") hide under logs, undercut banks and riffles to avoid predation. ." (a full stop too many)

- "...rekindles the Salmons' interest..." (salmon's)

- "This we know from an albino fish that the Injerín elves noticed returned to the same location on the upper Luquador each fall." - There seems something missing in this sentence...

- "Karfu's celebrated his victory by casting his weapon into a pool ..." (Karfu)

- "This belief likely stemmed from early elven druids who had settled the Themed'lon after the destruction of the ancient realm of Fá'áv'cál'âr." (stems ... who settled)

Okeydokey, that's what I've got... Oh, and of course an aura +1 and a round of applause! clap

Thanks!  :D

All edits done!

The Hero's Pool story is still a work in progress as I sort through Talia's comments. I was hoping to have them both this entry and that one done at the same time but didn't work out that way.

Someone better close that strange portal from Tamriel before other critters escape from there...

*thanks Ava rock crabs don't have lawyers...*

No, I would not want to live in a world without dragons, as I would not want to live in a world without magic, for that is a world without mystery, and that is a world without faith. And that, I fear, for any reasoning, conscious being, would be the cruelest trick of all.

If it works, sure! :D

:(  Art, is this your little way of forcing me to do an entry?
23 May 2013, 14:01:26
I see the board has been deactivated. Lets hope for a quick solution!
16 May 2013, 22:20:50
Files have been replaced again, but the question remains how long this will last. SMF support will have a look at the security problem.
16 May 2013, 17:26:47
It has been hacked. The third time in 3 days. I need to replace the changed files again (won't happen before evening) - and then see what the SMF support recommends as a strategy.

Arti, could you maybe take a look at the RPG board? I got a message from my anti-virus program and now I can't access the column on the right with the list of current threads and the shoutbox. Thankies :)

Artimidooor.. could you please add the Northern Sarvonian Tribe's map to the map menu? As you know, my mouse over does not work :( I could't find it right now, though I know it does exist somewhere.
