> Good point! I had looked at this briefly at the start - also with the idea of the Stream moving. (If you look at William Church's map in RQ2, there is an apparently Stream-side Duck Point several miles east of the confluence, for example.)
Or the Stream (or River) bed has moved. Happens all the time after the snow melts, under the right conditions.

I had some of my most embarrassing moments of Gloranthan RQing fighting ducks (that was before King of Sartar called them durulz) in one of their lakeside houses, entering and leaving through such a bottom opening.
Perhaps the gloriously inaccurate reconstruction of the Bodensee stilt houses could be used for durulz architecture.
There is also a type of slavic lake settlement on artificial islands that could serve as a model for fortified durulz settlements.

>> Why should anyone? Durulz are a marshial race.
> Boom! Boom!
Sorry, but this entire conversation is somewhat tongue-in-beak, so why waste a penalty shot?
