Huh, so you are saying that a High Danger zone reduces the number of sites we can actually gain acces to and therefore reduces the amount of Exotic resources we can safely extract from our fief.
If only someone would have warned us about it when we were choosing where to settle.
But what's done is done, and our fief is still awesome. We just have to make sure the giant angry moose doesn't kill us. Or the indescribable nigthmare horror from the depths. Or the flock of mighty dragon horses. Or whatever we discover in the 3 exploration tiers we have left.
Oh, well; I'm sure everything will be just fine.

It'll be a great guard for our people once we figure out how to get it on our side.
Same for them.
And whatever this asshole is guarding is bound to be amazing.
No need to get all doomy before we've even finished exploring.
That's probably Heaven/Sky - Tien.

It does feel like we chose the most crowded option, for sure. I'm unsure that either the moose or the kirin can actually be co-opted in the near future (ie, in less than ten years) so it does seem like no-go zones with a potential to kick out city-enders if we annoy them should be left alone.

Why would Ling Qi know any foreign languages tho? We're naming the river right now when none of the White Sky folks are here.

My main two thoughts:
- While there's nothing important on the line, the name of the central feature of our settlement feels like a statement of sorts. It'd be nice if we gave it a name that somewhat reflected our goals or nature.
- It's not just Ling Qi who has a stake in this river, it's GG and CRX. Whatever statement we make reflects on the group as a whole more than any individual member.

Tempted to name it the Meizhen river honestly, just for her reaction. It's a bad idea though.
In terms of actually good ideas, I'd back Thunder river. We have a huge waterfall, and a bunch of dragon horses and theMoose King Thunderhoof nearby. It fits.

I like that we'd have Lords of Spring and Autumn and Ladies of Summer and Winter. Balanced as all things should be.

On the flipside, the quality of the sites is much better.
Hell, the Cathedral of Winds is better even completely undeveloped than anything in the Argent Sect aside from the Greater Vents, and between that and the Saline Grotto, we've actually almost made good on everything we're losing when we leave the Sect. The only thing we don't have is the insane upkeep bonus, success rate, and universal +1 bonus from the Greater Argent Vent, which is part of a geomancy megaproject anyway.
And consider, these are just the ones that are effectively 'open to the public'.
Yes, of the six or so identified traits, three of them have something scary sitting on them that needs to be dealt with to access it. The three that we can use are still of excellent quality. And we got this without needing to dumpstat anything on the way in. And there's still three breakpoints ahead to be discovered!
This place is absolutely prime real estate, that it'll require a great deal of work and negotiation to reach its full potential just means it'll be able to go that much higher. We could very well oversee the forging of a true jewel of the South!
Also, all of the threats on the table here are--in effect--things that generally keep to themselves and don't range outwards. Which means we can poke them when we're ready to make something of it, rather than a risk of constant attrition.
The issues with this territory boil down to "It'll be expensive and time consuming to fully extract its potential", money is something we don't lack.
