I certainly agree - but Knight Fort and southern Heortland are hardly Dragon Pass. While the come from the same ethnic and cultural stock, they and the DP Orlanthi parted comany a fair time ago (even before the settlement of DP, as on the whole the tribes which moved north were the conservative, backwoods highlanders more than the cosmopolitan coastal/southern peoples). Cultural, magical, environmental, economic and political influences have all contributed to this divergence, which is one of the things that will make it so interesting when Sartarite and Esvulari once again come into contact, either exploring and rediscovering their common heritage or else competing to prove that theirs was the correct path.

All the best
