Wow! I can imagine that it will turn out great. When you switch the res
to 640x480 and look at it, it's really overwhelming! :)

It also fits with something else I had in mind: the Elenstroem would
probably have it's origin at Uzdun'kal, and the water on either side of
the gate could well be the source of the river.

Yes, I like it a lot. Looks very dwarvish to me. The faces are great
too, and with some nice translucent water, the sight will be impressive.
