I like the Races/Locations text you posted. While light (which is fine), it does help to paint a picture of what the world of your game will be like.
I don't really have anything to say about the Races text, as it seems fairly standard; that is nothing jumps out, at least to me. However, I'd be interested to see how you have/will use(d) them in the game.
The list of places is interesting. I'd love to see some concept art of the landscapes, too. The locations are more than (like you said) just some random towns. And, the names are also pretty good. Maybe a revision or two, but, for the most part, they sound fine.
Also, Kraft is assembling some
sand-tileset resources, which you may be interested in (I made the sand-river and sandfall, possibly more to come later).
Keep it up! :thumb:
