<< He is ambitious and he wants to dig a canal from the river (not the
ZolaFel,
but the serpent which flows close to SunDomeTemple) up to SunTown.
I told him it's a Pharaonic plan which requires millions of Lunars
(guilders), slaves, political and religious agreements and the like.
I was optimistic: I told him that in three years he could have the canal dug
out.>>
I would think the most difficult bit would be religious and political agreement. Religious from the river spirits who would be being defiled, from the Sun Dome who have ancient pacts with the River. Politically, the Sun County big wigs woul need persuading firstly that the scheme was to their benefit, and secondly bearing in mind they have been successfully convinced of the sense of the scheme that they shouldn't be in control of it, ('let this guy build the canal then evict him and take it over for the glory of the Sun!'). This is difficult. So, assuming this is achieved
<< I think that gnomes/undines could speed up the opera.>>
I agree
<< Where could he find heavy elemental aid?>>
The most experienced canal digger in Prax is obviously Waha! Did he dig it to make a profit? Clearly not. Would he assist in a scheme that would help farmers? No way.
<< At the Paps? >>
The Priestesses might be more sympathetic but what's in it for them?
<<At Pavis? Farther?>>
Pavis is your best bet but still unlikely IMO.
<< Help me >>
I am sure pleading to the Priests and Priestesses of Earth and Water would do no good at all. They have their own agenda and I doubt if it included canal building.
