hello! I love the miasma idea, but I need to point out two "facts" from the Qestarius River entry, both of which I had to read THREE times before I understood what it said! I had a problem with the dam, I thought it damned the river and so diverted it to the inland regions, but then I noticed that only the "river inhabitants" were blocked from entering the Marty, and NOT the RIVER itself, the river still flows into the sea, and that is why the first sentence of the Qestarius reads as it does: "The Qestarius River is well-known as the major tributary to Marty..." I am not sure if Discussion is supposed to occur before an entry is finished, but I figured if I missed the whole "dam blocks river creatures but not river water" thing then maybe you did too. You should have seen my original Qane entry, at least the parts referring to the river, it included information about the dam that were totally useless once I realized what the dam did (and did not) do! --Nikos of Ant 01:21, 16 Sep 2005 (EDT)
