We hope to have your talents put to IOM use soon :)

The Mist represents not only unexplored land, but in some instances, land
that is suicidal or impossible to enter (1). One MAY enter Level 1 Mist, but
it is rather useless - the terrain will not be revealed until later. As far as
moving from one square to the next, I think we decided that to move across
one square by foot would be close to a day. Inside the Mist this number
skyrockets. It is *NOT* recommended that someone try to go into Level 1
Mist, although it IS possible.
> Also, can you decide to land anywhere, or just previously explored territory?
You can land on any section of the map that is cleared of Mist. Problems arise
if someone lands inside the Mist. I suppose we could work with you on an
individual basis if you decided to do it, but there needs to be a good
reason for it.

Yes, and it's encouraged to build. For the building, just be reasonable and
realistic. Half the fun will be watching how the building develops over time:
Huts --> villages --> towns, etc ...
Great questions ... Hope that helps ...

(1) Level 3 and Level 4 Mist comes to mind:
