Message: <blockquote data-quote="James the Newbie" data-source="post: 5887101" data-attributes="member: 6692006">What about the fishing industry, while pollution kills a lot of sea life, that is over longer spans of time, so imagine those who can catch enough to feed more than themselves, they will find themselves getting more and more money, and some aristocrat will notice (I presume) This would lead to a fishing boom by the ocean and river towns, and of the few plants that grow under water, well there lack of nutrition is notable, but not too much of a worry for those who are starved. (I would imagine if they could, a particularly thriving ocean town would invest in a teleportation circle to the capitol, which may include an interesting defence element to traders.)I don't know if I brought up the idea of using a different plain and opening a gate/portal to one to grow mass amounts of food? But it seems like something the clerics or tinkering arcanists might try?And back to magic (As everyone defaults to some how, I do understand they are in hiding)__________Polymorph any objectChanged Subject Is:    Increase to Duration Factor1Add all that apply.
