Ghyll talk:Qestarine miasma

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)

Right - the original intent wasn't to stop the water from flowing, but to stop the fish of the River from getting into the Seas, thus spoiling the meals of the resorts that had been built there. Which isn't to say that someone couldn't add a new fact that, at a later date AFTER the dam was built, it was re-fortified to block the water flow too, but that would challenge the receding of the Qestarius River, also seen in the original entry - if it's not emptying itself into the Seas, where is it going? --Morbus Iff 09:03, 16 Sep 2005 (EDT)

I realized this as well as I was researching it. I think it makes sense as I have it now. But if it needs to be further tweaked to be brought into line with established fact, I can do that next week. I'm AFK until late Sun. --Brother Arfrus 13:01, 16 Sep 2005 (EDT)
