This looks pretty cool! I may be Magma's RP representation this year.

As far as major conflict goes, you mentioned "primitive" things a few times. What if there was a split in the world between technology lovers and haters; those who want to return to primitive and those who want to advance even more? Could maybe even tie in some connection to Xeth and the ritual that started it all? It might be possible to pit teams against each other this way, if you still wanted to do that.

Woo brainstorming!
