Last time I travelled around there I was probably level 6, but I have fond
memories of it. I just thought the Aviak city was, quite simply,
neat--perhaps reminded me of my home Kelethin while I seemed so far, and the
centaurs struck me as very interesting as well. The time I was there I had
the whole zone all to myself, not many mid level PCs back then I guess.
Suppose if I returned now I would be witnessing a slaughterfest. Don't
know, I would never advise anyone to start lowering factions with a race
which does not already hate you. At the time, I remember thinking I would
one day learn the Centaur and Aviak languages and return to see if anything
happened. I doubt anything would, but who knows, perhaps one day there
could be some interesting quests from those races. <shrugs> Bards shouldn't
be exploring and making contact with new cultures to just slaughter them,
just me.

Now a culture which deserves to die is the Frogs! Death to all frogs! Then
collect their meat, and brew up something nasty with it and get drunk off
your arse off their slimey arses! Heheh, I love Guk lately. Place is a
madhouse. What's great about is just about any level player can find a
niche there, assist one another, and I'm still impressed how most Trolls
stay in character and talk like total morons.
