Howdy guys, I am new to this so bear with me.
Everyone is pretty new to this. All help is welcomed and we are glad to have you aboard. And yes, the water/ship related puns rise to the top.
I am thinking about creating an ice elf village/island and I have some questions.
Sounds good, we need to get some things like that developed. And the questions will help develope the world.
WHat is the availability of wood and metal?
The elves have Pine forests and will have magic that allows many plants to growon the glaciers. Metal is much rarer. In the ages past it was mined and processed. Much is now lying on the ocen floor, sunk in ships or dropped in any one of the great sea battles.
The dwarves are going to have a few active mines. THis is how they were able to stay alive. THey have superior metal weapons and armor.
What types of metal are common?
Unfortuantely I'm not a metalurgist, so other then Iron ore, I'm not sure of what else would be common. Copper and silver would to some degree, and gold would be much rarer. THere is the possibility of any of the "special ores" like adamantine or mythral.
Do I get carte blanche to do what I'd like?
Pretty much. Right now there are about a half dozen or so threads going on with Shark World stuff. So, I or someone else may chime in and say that what you are doing goes against X or whatever.
Is there a pantheon or just the four remaining gods?
Just the four that are living. There are 4 other very powerful creatures that are going to be very low Divine Rank.
How often would the sea dwellers attack the landlobers?
Not often at all unless the land dwellers go far out into the ocean. The sea dwellers trade some with the land people, but for the most part ignore tem. There will be the occasional exception of course. I'd say that once every two months (one average ) a boat in deep water is attacked. Once every three or four months, a shallow water attack happens. And maybe once a year the sea people will raid the land.
There is nothing on land that the sea dwellars need. For the most part the sea people are better off and have greater tech.
I hope this helps.
