I was thinking we might end up changing our version of Realmspace a bit by
dropping a few around Karpri. Not enought yet to turn the whole planet, but
enought to radically change the face of it.  I am also considering dropping
one in the lake on Dragon Rock.

I thinking of doing three points: Karpri, The Tears of Selune (which is the
campaign base), and  some undetailed spot of Faerunian coastline.  I noticed
that it seems  a bit of a grinder, so I'm just ging to leave it that way and
give the PCs a few fun toys and one shot items. The Bard (my lovely wife)
will have a field day!
