GATHER 'ROUND THE VARNEY TREE

I get sense that NWN gives out the impression that resident projects are overwhelmingly architectural, mechanical, or otherwise artificial in nature. (Though I did spend quite a bit of time in Higbee Protagonist's terra-formed nature preserve, a couple months ago.) Thing is, that's really not the case, because there's an abundance of terraform projects going on throughout the world, and though they may not always grab one's attention like, say, a giant skyscraper, just as much artistry and care (or even more) can go into their construction.

Then again, a giant platform-studded tree, like Lain Kothari's in Varney, is hard to ignore. And I'll make it a milestone: from this day forward, I promise to make more effort to give the natural world of SL its due.
