Thank you Carol, I appreciate the feedback and guidance. I am definitely not professional writer by any means, this was my first crack at it. I'm sure my old high school grammar teacher would have a field day with this. :-)

My goal was to set the back story scene and not create any specific characters since we are in the early conceptual stages and it is being created over time by many contributors. I imagine it like a cut-scene in a game or general action scene in a movie where we can all go back in later and add the direct character interactions happening within the moment in time to make those personal connections. At this point we haven't even been give the task of deciding what the other types of creatures in the world look like.
