[QUOTE="Roman, post: 5092899, member: 1845"] That's awesome! :) Thanks for the exposition on the topic. The evolutionary relationships between various creatures are a fascinating subject and we rarely hear anything about it for arachnids, crustaceans, insects and so on - mostly media concentrate on human evolution only. Well the world won't necessarily be without oceans... it just could be. There are other ways to have a water cycle operate. Imagine for example, the Earth's crust being dotted with deep cracks and crevaces. Great rivers would flow into those instead of emptying into oceans. Lavaria would then evaporate them as they fell into her realm and the steam would rise out of these crevaces to seed clouds and begin the water cycle anew. This would also generate winds. Furthermore, different areas of the Earth, can also heat and cool at different rates, which too would create winds and contribute to weather. Trade could be done along rivers, but ships would have to disembark their goods and passengers before the rivers fell deep into the Earth's interior... so trade would look different. I am not saying we have to go that way, but it could be interesting to do so. After all, we are not playing in the world as normal characters, but as beings that contribute to creation, so perhaps eliminating some aspects of normal worlds could be part of the fun. Than again, it might not - we will see how it develops through the RP. :) [/QUOTE]
