Fatigue and the Glowline - Thoughts and questions

I read the responses to my fatigue suggestion with interest and I take the point about adventurers being at the peak of fitness. One thing that occurs to me though is what about non active adventurers or new players with previous experience that does not lend itself to physical exertion, examples that come to mind are Priests and scribes but you could probably also include Nobles and Shaman. Such character types would not have the oppertunities to keep fit and should not be able to actively participate in physical activities on the same level as a Soldier or Farmer. Are these differences worth bothering about, do we want a true to life system or a glossy abstract, I don't know, when does realism cease to be an advantage and become a hinderence???

Finaly a question about the Glowline. Is Sun Dome County included in the Gl Glowline (1621 ST), I can find no reference that mentions this but I may be looking in the wrong place. If it isn't already within the Glowline then what are the requirements for inclusion? The reason I ask is that I am writting a scenario set in Morning in Sun Dome County and would like to put a bit of pressure on the party by having them wake up one morning to find the Red Moon in the sky, they would then of course want to find out why and possibly stop it. What I am looking for is something subtle such as a hidden Seven Mothers temple being established, this scenario is intended to be an investagative type a bit like a Call of Cthulhu game so 200 Lunar troops descending on the village would not suit the plot. Any thoughts or help greatly appreciated.
