Good Example, but IMO a sort of Zen Buddhism is better for Kralorela rather than Lunar Empire setting.
[Japanese zen, from Chinese (Mandarin) chan, meditation, from Pali jhanam, from Sanskrit dhyanam, from dhyati, he meditates.]
And there is a good japanese traditional comic storytelling (Rakugo), that how a tofu maker disguising a virtuous zen priest defeats a wandering priest challenging riddle contest only by gestures.
It is rediculous because both of them perfectly misunderstands the another man's gesture.

Usually I think Nick is Malkioni, on the contrary of the main opinions of this mailing list that he is Lunar.
