[IronyOwl]

Interesting. Don't know what to do for me either, apparently.

[lemon10]

Sounds interesting, not too keen about the streetlights (since I assume it would be just another prosperity bonus), but it sounds fine.
Well, it will sound better once the age starts up again 

[Ahra]

sounds good to me.

Looks like it's going to be a fun age, even without Gunpowder or Colonial Militia.

I fear I'll need to upgrade my infantry soon, lest ranged troops effortlessly beat my pikegnomes in melee combat. While outnumbered. And surrounded.

[Vanigo]

Well, they are two ages old, now.

[IronyOwl]

Smuggler's Ring looks awesome.

As for Ljus Faller, yeah. Trying to think of something, but nothing really comes to mind.

[Vanigo]

Smuggler's Ring looks awesome.

Yeah, I've been sitting on that for a while, waiting for the world to get explored enough for it to make sense.
Come to think of it, it should probably enable a building, not give you the bonus directly.

[Happerry]

I like my set, and the expanded mutations are nice. Planning on setting them up for a civil war in an age or two under the stress of the different clans and the rising younger cities too. Just so you know.

And gunna have to update my shield guard too... Oh well, they are from the first age.

[Ahra]

i say FORWARD KASR, FOR THE GLORY OF THE GREAT ONES!!! 

[Nirur Torir]

Heartguard armor isn't listed as needing Spellsmithing in the second spoiler.
My naval monopoly is dead. Eh, Skyships makes up for that.
Everybody but me can make healing potions, and I have the only known material source for them. Interesting.
I can't find Ether Magic.

[Vanigo]

I can't find Ether Magic.

Oh, it's ephemera magic. I renamed it at some point.

[lemon10]

The tech list sounds pretty good.

Okay, here's what I'm thinking. I feel like I need to give Ljus Faller another nice ability, but I can't think of anything that really fits. Any suggestions?

Can't really think of a appropriate trait. One possibility would be to put off getting a extra trait till the next age.

Even though its not really a trait, a extra magic gem somewhere in Ljus Faller would possibly make sense, something darkness or ice based wouldn't be too amiss given the effects of a giant source of magic going out and a equal massive alternate force being deployed in addition to all the weather changes.

If that is a no, even if it grants no positive effects, having one of my desert hexes turn to a tundra/ice hex of some kinn would be rather nice, especially since thats one of the things that was supposed to have happened during the age end.
