Just a small point: 200 mets = 66miles.  Thats less than a day of traveling
by
ship.  I might be wrong, but that is probably close to where Port Haven is.
How does this disrupt things?

I see the changes made as this:

1) Priests of Tarus didn't get complete whiped out.  Cool, so there is a
library
    now to do research.

2) You add a day travel time to adventures, _OR_ you just post that your
    adventures start in Port Haven and loose no time and people just gather
    there as notices for the adventure have actually been posted a day
    earlier saying that folks are needed in port haven for adventure X.

We aren't talking major world shaping changes here folks, everyone take a
step back, calm down, and cool off.  Nothing huge has happened, and there
is no need for people to freak out.

End result is just that a temple to tarus that is populated got added to
Rougtero.

Also as the Fourlani(sp?), Brandon, didn't I once have one of these guys as
a sword with Tynias?
