I took the liberty of assuming the Senate had marble steps which considering Barca’s Carthaginian-esque culture seems very likely. I can only prostrate myself for forgiveness if they are actually granite.

Was this quote from the region description by Arden Fury? It sounds so familiar. I can't check. If so, that would be mine. First time ever my description was quoted if so. It was during Ordenstaat's time and that was how I pictured Ordenstaat living in the forest - loosely based on elves' affinity for the forest. That beautiful picture of Rettleville was done by the player of Milmice.
