The thing about technological advancement is that we only pursued one path to achieve it where plenty others existed. As such, when discussing relative advancement in another setting, one should not focus on when we developed that specific ability but when we developed an analogous one, so if they were focused around wind power instead of dead carbon power, then they'd have likely discovered it around the same time they made electricity usable.

That said, I'm not actually making any comment on this specific situation about whether or not they should have wind power, mostly because I just don't care. I'm simply giving you a bit of extra information to make up your own mind in a more informed context.

That's true. I suppose they can have wind power for mechanical energy, and use it in various ways, but maybe not be able to make it into electricity. Unless they took in a few lightning elementals, in which case it would make more sense.

Kloar is reliant on a series of chutes, chimes, and spinners ( wind mills without the mill) to grind grain and power certain areas and mainly heat them. The city is very Asian-esque in terms of lifestyle, architecture, and its heavy reliance on wood especially since its main source of power was 90% reduced during the war.
Remember: Lun Fein himself was Asian.

Are there any other culture styles than (Western-eastern European) from what I've seen so far.

Yeah this sounds cool. And it makes sense with having an Asian-themed city for the religion that's closest to Buddhism in my head (Worship of the Wind Goddess). Plus, it'll be a cool break from the more European-style setting most of the RP will have.

Post up for Ariel, and now Rebecca can enter the castle. I'll get Vid's reply up next, which will assume Rebecca has already made her way into the castle (Don't worry Olthar, you can take as much time as you need to post for Rebecca). After that I'll reply to the Pickle Priest.

Hey, I was wondering, Ceann quit, correct? Does that mean Lightning is free?

Also, how come Hydrata's the only one with an image? :P.

I'm going to assume he's quit, so yes, you can make a Lightning char if you want.

As for Hydrata's picture, she's the only deity I've randomly found a suitable picture for so far. :p

I decided to randomly have my character closing in on the castle, for plot's sake.

Note: He is talking about Aeros the human, his former best friend obviously.

@ Rup: How did Amelia get to the castle so fast when she was just in the town in your last post? And how did she pass right by Coltaine and his group of guards as well as Rebecca who, herself, has just walked into the castle without bothering to notice either? :|

Question: Why doesn't Coltaine and the guards confront her about going to the castle when they are heading there specifically to rescue people who went there? Why does she get to the castle at roughly the same time as Rebecca despite the fact that Rebecca left the town considerably earlier than the her? Why does she just outright ignore Rebecca when people hanging around an abandoned castle is kind of something that doesn't happen every day and deserves mention?

1) That's for Videssos to post. She didn't pay too much attention to the conversation, so she wouldn't really know.
2) Not sure, but I can edit if you want.
3) She doesn't ignore Rebecca, she follows her in while trying not to draw attention to herself. I can edit this, too.
