With due respect to the huge effort and thought you gave this project, Talkirc: four new lands, 20 (!) new cities? Those upper branch world obviously would be bigger than down on the bark, with more towns. Do you really think you could populate all this? Wouldn't there be an enormous danger to simply "dry out" what's on the bark by moving all neutrals up the branches and leave an in places deserted bark down there? I doubt you could triple the players by this concept, but even if you could double them, it would not be enough to populate this concept, I fear.
