So this is totally on me, I actually had something specific in mind for what a godstone is, but I didn't go into it in my last post because I didn't want to bog things down with exposition that won't be relevant until later.  I should explain at least a little now, though.  The basic idea I had was, godstones are old holy sites dedicated to a largely dead religion, but still sought out as landmarks by travelers.  I still don't want to say too much about it before it comes up, so I'll leave it at that for now.  Also I sort of wanted to keep the group away from any major settlements, other than maybe the occasional small village, so that's why I said the Border was scarcely inhabited, with no big cities along the road.  Zaer, Adrian would know all that, so...would you mind?  Sorry for the confusion--a lot of the time, I do like to just throw ideas out there with no explanation and let other people expand on them, I just happened to have an explanation I'm really excited to use in this case.  I'll try and be more clear about these things in the future.<br/><br/>Also, aren't Yulia and Galathiir both naked right now? ::)
