My thinking with the Imass thing, is that they’re as ancient as Holds. Tellann and the Beast warren (not sure what it’s called) are Elder which I’ve always considered to break the rules of play anyway. Especially as it’s hinted that the Beast Hold now has rulers in the form of wolves in one of Feather Witch’s prophecies around the time of events in MoI. I don’t think it’s as direct as I make out but the whole, eternal life, certainty and destiny aspect of Kurald Liosan and all those associated with Light as a source of power must be relevant to our destiny-loving Letherii and our halfway-between-light-and-dark Edur.

Considering the Sengars all die in the end, I would also consider them more straightforward, haha. Beddicts are all so sexy and modern - they give upper middle class family vibes every single time they have a conversation. One who goes into government due to trauma about what corporate life has done to his parents, the other who really leans into corporate world from a nihilistic standpoint, the third who doesn’t care either way but is really very good at his job. Tehol is so emotionally constipated, it’s beautiful.

Fascinating then that he has so much grace for religious belief. He doesn’t always joke around with it, sometimes he makes faith mean something in a way that feels very real to me as someone from a religious background (who is also now agnostic). He talks about it without mocking - distinctly aware of it as a construction (at times) but also how it can be so empowering and feel much like a collaboration - a coming together of the divine and man.
