My point was that both descriptions were the same, but when I fixed a typo,
technically improving it, it was rated worse :-P

Maybe the GameMaster could give feedback beyond 'good' or 'average'.

Anyway, I'll post what I wrote for Zonasa:


Zonasa's tall white spires, and expansive libraries contrast with it's rowdy
harbor district where ships stop on their way south to Batesaor, or north to
Idapur. It's trade routes run north, towards Palnasos and the mountains.


Known as the Ivory City, or City of Scholars, Zonasa is a sleepy city where
nobles can study and reflect on documents of yore, practice the arts of
writing and music, or taste the finest wine in the far east.

On the other hand, the port brings in it's share of colorful folks. Though
not as much as nearby Bateasor, but it is still recommended nobles keep
their swords by their side, and not to trust sudden and exciting investment
opportunities pitched by charismatic sea captains.

An ancient lighthouse stand at the southern point of the city, lighting the
way through the precarious Zonasan straight. Deep fogs often roll up from
the bay during the night, keeping the air moist.

In Zonasa Palace the Hall of Princes is lined with statues of great Princes
from the ages. Beside the most recent statue, which depicts the late Prince
Zhao Ziyang, an eternal flame burns brightly.
