A definite case of "what works for you" and "tastes differ", and I'm delighted you won't suffer from the information overload that's still giving me problems.

Then let me point you at a great myth that's very much teaching you about Orlanthi life, and cattle raids in particular. Go over to the Mything LInks contest.

and find "Hindall's Raid" by Andrew Solovay. "How Uralda Joined the Storm Tribe" is also good.

And while you're there, read the rest, and do some voting!
