Re:The Inland Sea and other matters

Re: the southern fresh water sea, I assume it originally had an outlet to the southern salt sea. My thoughts about it are changing. I think it was fresh at first, during the peak of the civilizations clustered around its shores. Then the Builders set up the temples and closed the Anarchies, at which time quakes sealed off the inland sea and fissures opened in its bed. It began to drain and turn to salt. During this period Kothifir established trade with Languidine in the south, also in the past thanks to time-storms that sweep the wastes. The past is moving rapidly toward the present, hence no caravan can go back in time farther than the one before. Everyone knows that at some point there was/will be a cataclysm that will destroy Languidine, (the ruins have been found in the present) but no one knows what or when it will be. I assume that said disaster will be triggered by the activation of the temples, the arrival of the Kencyrath, Perimal Darkling moving one world closer, and (who knows) Jame's presence on the scene. Somewhere in here, Rathillien is also jarred on its axis: the stars change position in the sky and the soon-to-be Wastes change from temperate to a desert clime.

Does that make sense?
