Still, Waha is the greater, or you don't see a hierarchy here?

Do you think that Waha is also a "communication spirit", BTW? I mean, which tradition do the trading nomads follow, in path? No more Issaries and no Zola Feli (except for those venturing in the valley).

But their magic was absolutely stronger than the Praxian's.

I agree, here. IMG, the Lunars are gradually retreating their garrisons from Prax
because the bulk of their armies is needed west. I think that the old P/BR supplement
indicating three Lunar regiments in Prax is an exaggeration. Or maybe they are nominally there,
but with number seriously diminished. No rookies are sent anymore to Sor-eel.
