here, here! Well said LC. I have made many decisions on the nature
of Broyan, Heortland and the Volsaxi because of the campaign I run/
am running there. What can you do mut make stuff up to fill the
void? I thought Broyan and Whitewall had been the subject of
a 'house campaign' so I still don't see why there isn't more
information about it.
