On reconstruction: Keep in mind most of the major stuff was done by Von Geister.

Anything else can be done, by and large, but the group of builders Draken has stated are kept on retainer (maybe they're sorta like Warhammer 40,000 Eldar Bonesingers).

As for the mentions of training: It's kind of a catch-22 at this rate, Frozen. Either Nick keeps mentioning it, and you complain about too many plots. Or he doesn't say anything, then gets accused of an ***pull when it's revealed. This is kind of true for any longer-term project in any of the threads/dimensions.
