>Who would not be able to "Rule" or "Create Province"?
>(Other than a fighter making a temple, etc,)

I believe that the ranger lieutenents should be the only allowed to
have the "know how" to create provinces. Otherwise I beleive experts follow
like this:
Guilds:theif,bard
Law:Fighter,ranger,paladin
Source:Mage
Temple:Preist,Paladin

>Is "Diplomacy" a thief thing? or would a wizard, priest, or warrior do?

Diplomacy is a "liuetenent with the diplomacy proficiency" thing.

>Nuclear winter would occur if twenty 500 mega-ton bombs were dropped
>evenly around Arybinis?

An interesting attempt at humor. The answer this question would obviously
stem from the size of the planet itself. As can be seen by the recent
contoversy on the subject, this cannot be established. What does this mean?
You decide.
