 There are a number of reasons why the Imperial Era was transplanted (and renamed Orbivm in the process - Imperial Era now refers to a specific time period in the history of Orbivm). Foremost among them was, I grew frustrated with the World of Wesnoth. It wasn't just the presence of the Drakes (though that did greatly irritate me). The whole world was just a hodgepodge of random STUFF. I tried fixing it up for a while (two years), but in the end, it just didn't seem to work. This makes sense; after all, it was originally created just to have somewhere to have the game take place in. The WoW simply didn't age well.
@@ Line 88: / Line 27: @@
 Finally, I wanted (and still want) to try my hand at writing good fantasy - to create my own universe. The WoW already existed, and I couldn't mold it into what I wanted. There was too much inertia. The best solution seemed to be to get a fresh start.

 Finally, I dislike the origins of drakes. They are supposedly the sons of dragons, but we know that dragons still exist in Wesnoth when drakes do, dragons are rare and powerful, and there are only a few hundred of them in the WoW. I find it hard to believe that they would have descendants who greatly outnumbered them but are inferior to them in every way. Actually, I find it hard to believe that they would even have descendants.

 The second reason was that the WoW seemed to be growing crowded to me. Even if it was a perfectly decent fantasy world (which it wasn't), there were all of these new factions wanting to get added to it. There were three eras located on it (default, the IE, the EoM), and a bunch more wanting a piece of real estate. I decided that, instead of keeping the Imperial Era on it, and thus forcing myself to keep the WoW clean from infestation, I would transplant the IE, and let these new factions try to make it on their own, without me blocking them.

 This isn't to say that I will no longer work on the World of Wesnoth. I will - I still like it, and want it to improve. I'll probably still write campaigns for it, and expound upon the history of it, etc. But I will '''also''' work on Orbivm. And probably put more effort into the latter than the former, since I see the latter as a more promising endeavor.
