The population figures are something I'm still tinkering with, and I may
lower the dwarven population to around 3-4 billion. The Thraldarin Empire
has control of three other spheres, with colonies set up among the planets.

Magic is present in abundance, although not in munchkinish levels. The tech
level is slightly better than Ren-era societies, not to mention their ship
tonnage exceeds 300 tons in some cases. I'll post more about the ships at a
later date.

As for maps, I'll get to that when my copy of Digital Alchemy's map program
arrives. I plan to include a great number of maps that should serve to give
everyone a better view of the sphere. I hope to get a timeline up on my
page sometime this weekend, with a more detailed history later.

Thanks for the input so far.
