My paln already.

They have als dragged new asteroids into the cluster to expand their
territory.

The portal, by its nature as an artifact of the Lady of Pain, cannot be
moved.

I was thinking more along the lines of 20-30 asteroids.

Thus, "New" Bral could look like this:

I am thiking of adding in a subterranean level ofr two. Dwarven excavations,
caverns from the illithid/beholder incarnatiosn of the Rock, etc.

I'm thiking about 3 asteroids each for the Celestians and the Church of
Ptah. The rise in power of the Celestians would be hugely irksome to the
Ptah-ites which will create an interesting new dynamic between the two.

That is lovely!

Hoouse Nobrodduk anyone?

Nice thinking.

* The Forest - "Central Park" of Bral, a whole

RNR spot for Elven navy as well.

There are already several farming asteroids, increasing their number to feed
additional population is an idea I should not have missed.

FANTASTIC idea!!Thanks, this is just the sort of trouble shooting I was
hoping for. I just settled on the timeframe about two days ago so this is
still heavily in the development stage...
