I honestly thought I'd get a few links and this thread would die.... I like being wrong  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" /> I agree that is an important point Aikuchi... and honestly I don't have an answer yet. How long have the Selanese people been serving the Garuda faithfully for their protection against the Naga? Is it realistic for this to have been happening for several centuries... or a few millenia? If it's been so long, why so little influence from the outside?Being "stuck" in tradition... I can easily see the population being stuck with little hope. Just doing their part...and not changing. Dangerous? Yes. Good thing there are PCs around... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> I've alluded to the growing influence of the "West" in my notes. There would be some effect from these traders.And the Sea Traders...they are from "Somewhere Else".Indeed, the more I think about it... the more this place seems cut off from the world. Is it just isolated by tradition, and difference to others? Or is there something else at work... perhaps slowly the lands o the Delta are being drawn into the spirit realm. If not, the Garuda are content with their "Garden" of believers.Sounds vaguely sinister, doesn't it?This is sounding more and more like Final Fantasy X! Oh dear.... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> On the subject of building... I hadn't considered that. It's certainly something to ponder. I think that some leaders would certainly be egotistical enough to want their own monuments.At least some of the architecture is ancient... perhaps all of the truly magnificent architecture is from the era of the Old Naga.... however long ago that is. The newer stuff is in a different style, but perhaps mimicking the old? hmmm...I don't necessarily object to long campaign histories, but I do object to long campaign hitories where little changes to the culture, and level of technology without good reason. I'm thinking it's a (fairly) short history, at least for the native people of Selan and Husan.This is one reason I find DM very interesting...explaining all these things in a way that isn't "oh, it's just magic". <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />  It seems like the world is certianly old... but the people created from the Naga's blood.. they are relatively new. This requires a lot of thought!  :\</blockquote>
