I know that there are dwellers in the depths for anyone trying to go out to sea, but what other risks might one have to worry about while out on the water? Are there NPC pirates? Storms? Storm Pirates?

Will some tribes have genetic or environmental predispositions towards influencing whether or not a member of that tribe has a certain kind of talent or magical ability/trait? (If you get lucky enough to get one.)

For example, a snow dwelling/cold dwelling tribe member be predisposed toward cold weather control vs finding water ability.

Will all tribes recover/lose fatigue faster or slower compared to the others? For example, would one tribe get more fatigued than another performing the same act such as mining or farming?

For Mayor pledges and above, will the leaders of settlements be forced into spawning as the tribe that is native to the biome their settlement is located in, or will they have the option to choose a different tribe or neighboring one? For example, your settlement is located in a Kypiq biome, but you'd rather be a Brudvir when you spawn in. Will there be that option?

Will larger races have an advantage in combat over smaller ones, and, if so, how significant will that advantage be?

What levels of hatred will there be between rival tribes? Examples:

  1. NPC's state only negative comments to the hated tribe?

  2. NPC's refusing to talk, trade, and or boycott the tribe?

  3. Will NPC's begin to relocate to a different settlement because of a few hated tribes people moved into a settlement?
