I could still add it in! I only left it off because I was really wary of constantly increasing the canvas size which meant an even bigger image or smaller detail. But I may do that a bit later anyway to at least see how it is: it does look a bit unfinished.

And yeah, I hypothesised that all the exits eventually meandered their way back to the harbour by otherwise fairly uneventful passes, passageways, caves or boat (the latter of which is I suspect how that old rogue Barroch gets about).

I'd never really thought about the similarities between Cassardis and the Fallen City in spite of both reminding me somewhat of e.g. Rhodes. I can be a bit slow when it comes to making connections sometimes... I'm still unclear about the nature of BBI, if it is a figment of Ashe's imagination made real(-ish) or something older. I'd prefer to think of it as the latter but I dunno how much of the various characters' commentary about it is supposed to be fact or conjecture. Or in the case of Barroch, just winding you up! I really like Barroch, partly because I reckon he really is a big-time wind-up merchant.
