Yes! I can just imagine a Metsyla follower sitting on the side of the
road thinking about how wonderful it is that they are free to do
whatever they want, that they are no more biased to get up than to just
sit here and wait, etc. But everytime they think of doing something they
don't so they can be sure they weren't letting left over prejudices from
before enlightenment guide their actions. Crippled by freedom.

I don't know how I forgot about the Mistress Race troll from Dorastor,
no doubt I stumbled across some Arkat wards in the text, "This is not
the Illuminate you're looking for." I think the fact that Dragonnewts
can be illuminated is quite interesting, though the dragonnewts of
Ralios are barbarians cut off from Dragon Pass. Perhaps illumination for
the Elder races removes deals more with their ancient hatreds for each
other than it does with hatred of chaos? Hmm, I wonder if that implies
that the Elder Races who are getting along so well in Jurestela are
illuminated?
