That's a cool idea, a very cool idea. It's not just Aduria either -
think of Djapar, the Dragon Isles, the islands to the south of Cerilia
whose name escapes me for the moment (something-el-Mehare I think).
Even Thaele, for that matter - mineral rich but with a very harsh
climate. Or Torova Temylatin, which could lead to the rediscovering of
the sielshegh of Basaia, which is kept on the island. There's an awful
lot of stuff you can do with that. I just wish I'd thought of it! ;-)
