| It should be assumed that the eight, single-element [[races]] will have a crystal located somewhere in the heart of thier native lands. They have all in their own way, taken up retainership to these crystals, which are now much smaller than they originally had been; the countless shards are scattered throughout the world.

|
| |
|
| ===human homeland=== | | ===[[Argaes]]=== |
| Dabe and Pauan discussed swapping demons to Tulimshar and humans to the "other" side of the continent, which is a snow region. This was mostly for graphical / environmental obviousness.. (red skin in snow would look dumb and it seems to fit the desert setting..)<br>

| 'Gloriana' was already intended to be a snow region and I sort of like the name. My second choice, just because I like the name; 'Sonbrand' - [[User:Dabe|Dabe]] 23:57, 18 September 2006 (CEST)
| | ===[[Kaizei]]=== |
| :I actually like it. I think it fits with the whole human thing. Not that they're technically humans but... I definitely like Sonbrand over Gloriana. It sounds more human-like. Gloriana would work too, of course, but for the snow city I think Sonbrand would work better. Besides, Gloriana reminds you of a glorious place, not a deserted iceland. I think it might go better for a bigger city in the world. -- [[User:Pauan|Pauan]] 08:16, 27 October 2006 (CEST)
| | {{Geomap| |
| ::There is just one little problem with Sonbrand... Indeed the name sounds good, but unfortunately Sonbrand sounds like the german word "Sonnenbrand" what means "sunburn"... So, it doesn't really fit to a snow region. I agree that Gloriana doesn't fit to an iceland too. --[[User:Peacemaker|Peacemaker]] 14:55, 3 January 2007 (CET)

| ===Water race homeland; underwater or on the surface?=== | | ===[[Land of Fire]]=== |
| The issue of placing the Tritan raised a question about playability underwater. Though there are a number of ways we could implement something like this, the question remains, "Should the water race's homeland be submerged, requiring foreign race's to use a waterbreath ability/item of some kind..?"<br>
| |
|
| |
|
| I vote for an underwater town of some sort, regardless of the diving / swimming method - [[User:Dabe|Dabe]] 00:16, 19 September 2006 (CEST) <br>

| Surely underwater, accesible by e.g. swimming skill... --[[User:Yosuhara|Yosuhara]] 18:09, 19 September 2006 (CEST)
| | ==[[Oranye Isles]]== |
|
| |
|
| It would not be logical for a waterbreathing race to build a city under a dome filled with air. I think it should be reachable for both Tritans and non-Tritans. Therefor I think we should either have a land based Tritan homeland or SCUBA-gears (or something limilar). I would prefer the Tritan homeland to consist of a lot of island with walkable shallows for non-tritans and more direct swimming for Tritans and skilled swimmers.

|

|
| I don't think it should be a dome filled with air.. rather, to reach it, you should have to make use of (as you sort of suggested) an appropriate item or skill to breathe water. The Tritan would have this as a natural ability, so their journey to this area would require much less foresight and planning. I agree that we should have some islands, but I don't see the purpose in making them 'fishpeople' if they don't at least partially live underwater. [[User:Dabe|Dabe]] 00:18, 2 October 2006 (CEST)

| I don't see any problem with having both. Perhaps they originally lived underwater, but moved to land when their food supplies ran low. They still live underwater, but they also live above-ground, on islands. It wouldn't be hard to implement. Plus, that would allow for an underwater palace as well. -- [[User:Pauan|Pauan]] 08:18, 27 October 2006 (CEST)
