[QUOTE="Conaill, post: 817334, member: 1264"] Hiya alsih2o, nice to see you drop by! Could we call upon your pottery expertise a bit? I've got a couple of questions for you, if you wouldn't mind... - Given the [url=http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=43442&perpage=40&pagenumber=1]geography[/url] around Mor's End (keep in mind that the river flows [i]out[/i] of the lake, i.e. left to right), where would you expect to find the clay deposits? I've been assuming they're on the big island west of the city for convenience. - Special glazes: We've been saying that the special glazes are due to the presence of sapphires within the clay (which makes you opal clay an interesting competitor...). Would a clay laden with sapphires (corundum - Al2O3 with trace impurities of Cr, Fe and Ti, and occasionally vanadium, cobalt and nickel) actually make for a nice glaze (slip?) in reality? If so, what would it look like? If the special qualities of the glaze are likely due to specific impurities in the sapphires, what color would the sapphires themselves be (sapphires can take on a very wide range of colors)? - How toxic do you think the glazing process would be (in terms of materials used, exhaust, waste water etc.) Bad enough to locate the glazers in the "industrial" district on the east side of Mor's End, along the north bank of the river? The actual Potters are located in Port Jollita for now (west side of the city, on the big island between the two river branches). Do you think such an arrangement is plausible, or should the Glazers and Potters be located in the same place? Of course, none of this is actually necessary for our fantasy city, but like with all good lies, it's best if there's a trace of the truth to it... :) [/QUOTE]
