@ Thurrn:

1. Still leaves the problem of how they can mass-produce in such quantities, as well as how the milling process occurs without an agricultural infrastructure.

12. Since there's no evidence the rumour is false, the problem stands.

13f. Leaving aside for the moment the question of how you'd mine stone from an abyss without the kind of network Malkariss has, there's no evidence in the books to support this, although I'll grant it seems plausible.

@Fainnen:

18. Yes, but the fact that he changed it leaves the horse and cart as problematic elements in the overall continuity.

@Gandr:

9. That sounds plausible, although I frankly have no idea how the vermin manage to reproduce in such numbers when their numbers are so frequently decimated. The casualty rate of reproductive-age vermin is catastophically high.

13b. If you can provide a text citation, I'll strike it.
