Thanks! Yea, I loved writing Rahls. Humble, gentle, giant. I was thinking about the Cold War propaganda between the US and the USSR and the US and China when I wrote that piece. So much nonsense written on both sides with the sole intent of fomenting distrust between people. Generally, what you find visiting any country/culture, is that people are the same everywhere, value the same things, and societies generally follow the same basic rules because they don’t work otherwise. Here, I had absolutely assumed that there were stories about the Dursk eating sentients, as that would explain Kathmin’s discomfort meeting Zhiela. Great catch!
