Before I begin writing this, I have some thoughts. I plan to operate on the assumption the the "Xurient" is '''way''' off the map. Let me know if this presents a problem. Secondly, regarding orthoganlities, I am going to treat it as a seperate orthogonality from Ghyll that has it's own 'center' and the border between these orthoganlities is passable but difficult. Again, this is an unusual idea and may need to be discussed some. I'd like some feedback --[[User:DrAckroyd|Dr. H. L. Ackroyd]] 14:33, 2 Apr 2005 (EST)
