Not every overland area is going to hold a water source nearby but likely settlements will be built on the top of areas that allow wells to keep a constant flow of water in This also gives me opportunities for underground encounters and different Eco systems and monster groups than the sandy world would bring. I may not take that idea too far and just leave it as a (dig down get water) resourceIt also means I don't have to cripple the water elements or spells that create water.Thanks for all the ideas</blockquote>
