Last but not least - if the project will content new mosters and so on - I´m very curious of how so many different kinds of inhabitants could live ("in symbiosis" ) in such a small place.
I kinda put this in the World of Darkness perspective: you don't have to put something in your campaign if you don't want to. :)

A good point, but let's not forget that Ravenloft is by nature a plastic world. Living beings come in and out of existance at the whims of of the DP, whole histories have been created and destroyed at the merest thought of the invisible powers. Distance, space, matter, energy and time are but playthings to be shaped by the diabolical will of Ravenloft's masters. As such, ecology itself may be an unnatural construct of the will of the Darkpowers
Of course, we will try to keep things within reason.[/i]

Hmmm... it's evidently a bit late to be pointing this out, but has anyone covered the Gremin family? Constable Gremin is the constable of Marais d'Tarascon (see NotWD), and the RPHB (p. 192) states that "young noblemen are expected to serve a term as village constables"... which would imply that the Gremins are counted among the noble families. Just wondering if the Fraternity had done a write-up on them...

Also, has anyone attempted a description of Souragnien coins? I personally think the names proposed in the RPHB are a little bit over the top, but translating them loosely into French (e.g., une "dent" instead of un "eclat de dent" for a toothchip, un "doigt" for a fingerbone, and une "pierre" instead of "pierre tombale" for a tombstone) and describing their appearance (and historical/cultural significance of the names?) might make these coins seem somewhat more... credible. I would also be interested in finding out where Souragne gets the metal it requires to mint its coins from.

One can always hope, no? :)

Can't wait to see the final product...

Both have been covered. The names have been 'modified' by Joël and he included a *brief* reference to the Gremin family.
