No worries! It's just there if you need it, like if you want to throw some red herrings around or need a way to explain how they transported the firesand. In any case, just to be clear, do I have the okay to make a musket-armed character?
Speaking of getting more CS-es in, seeing as how I'll be making the map, I'll likely put mine up later down the line; seeing as how we're likely getting more people than before, I don't want to make a blank map that could run out of space. I personally prefer to design big and scale it down as required.
So! My plan is that I'll wait for a handful of CS' to be in. I'll make the map and slap the SK somewhere along the coast. I'll design the map according to the landforms and geographic descriptions in the CS'. That way, folks will have greater freedom in deciding how they want their polities to look.
