These pages display the portrait of a young world experiencing the first blush of true, continent-wide politics. Since the God War there have been many conflicts, but these have always been isolated, between two countries, never involving the others. For the first time in the history of the world, the six major nations of Diomin (first detailed in the Diomin Worldbook) are beginning to rub elbows with more than just their immediate neighbors. The first trade treaties are being drafted, ambassadors are being sent, spies are finding greater employment. And the slightest wrong move could set the whole of the world on fire. Read on. Discover what makes the nations unique. Learn how they feel about the others... and how the others react to them. Take on the roles of the Gadianti Robber and the Hearthom Trader, and then look at the world with new eyes. Most of all, watch your back, for no everyone is what they appear to be.

Silt Sand Slurry is a visually rich investigation into where, why, and how sediment is central to the future of America's coasts.&nbsp; Sediment is an unseen infrastructure that shapes and enables modern life. Silt is scooped from sea floors to deepen underwater highways for container ships. It is diverted from river basins to control flooding. It is collected, sorted, managed, and moved to reshape deltas, marshes, and beaches. Anthropogenic action now moves more sediment annually than 'natural' geologic processes -- yet this global reshaping of the earth's surface is rarely-discussed and poorly-understood. In four thematic text chapters, four geographic visual studies, and a concluding essay, we demonstrate why sediment matters now more than ever, given our contemporary context of sea level rise, environmental change, and spatial inequality. We do this through a documentation of the geography of dredging and sediment on the four coasts of the continental United States. The book explores the many limitations of current sediment management practices, such as short-sighted efforts to keep dynamic ecosystems from changing, failure to value sediment as a resource, and inequitable decision-making processes. In response to these conditions, we delineate an approach to designing with sediment that is adaptive, healthy, and equitable.
