A PBeM Hiatus.

I've finally posted in both active threads in the Kalyr PBeM, after keeping my long suffering players waiting for far too long.

One problem I had was when a player made some references to Italian food. There is no Italy in Kalyr, so I had to edit those references a little. It's now Keylinan food, in the style of the southern city of Keylin, which has a mediterranian climate and who's inhabitants might well eat something resembling Italian food.

I attempted to rename Minestra di Pasta e Lenticchie into something in Vohrran (the language spoken in Keylin), but chickened out since the language is woefully undeveloped.

Actually, so is the food. Apart from the infamous "Earthworms in Garlic", Kalyr cuisine is one of those 'local colour' things that needs work. All we have at the moment is this entry in the Kalyr Wiki.

Anyone want to contribute?
