When The Orient is created, a board will also be created by it's scribes for an Academic center. Inside it will be housed threads for help in choosing proper Asian names, fielding future interest in new groups wishing to be created, and academic studies in areas like Warfare, Imperialism, Dynasties etc. Of course, all of these topic will eventually be covered in one group or another, but it would be easiest if they were highlighted or dual posted in this city-main page as well. Just as Babylon has a great deal of academic resources in their own Academic board in Babylon.

I have already asked the members of Light of the East (our 1 and only pre-existing Orient group) if they would consider planning an article or two for us to feature as a highlight, and wanted to share this request with the entire site and our future Orient citizens.

Articles for the ACTA, academic posts on specific Asian topics and even offering links to any Orient related websites you've created would be excellent and keep the new city from starting too empty!
