Kinda interested in the Germany angle. I'll have to check back on this story once you get further along.

Really good second chapter. I like the detail you put in it- it's easy to picture what's happening. I'm wondering what the Koorime's all about, but I'm sure we'll find out later. :P
Looking forward to more.

Very cool idea. Looking forward to reading more.

oh fun. if you need a very german character last name you can use Bötjer which is my family's last name Boettcher un-americanized. oh and http://w.tr62.de/occupations/groups.htm this link might help to choose other last names
