Yeah, no problems. Welcome. For an isolated, pre-contact nation, it may make sense to be closer to Zaqir, but it won't be long before you face the full force of their military might!

On the other hand, @Shorticus is right. If you fancy having a go at the Grogar once you've caught up on all this copious reading we're punching out, I for one would not mind. I'm already managing three virtually independent states as it is, I don't need to run the NPC Feinar barbarians and especially not the Grogar! :D
