Lunars are Big!

On the map, there's a well-written scene in Steven Pressfield's "Gates of Fire" when a Phoenician ship's captain slowly unrolls a map of the Persian Empire to show the Spartans what they're up against. All the places they've ever been to are on the first little bit of map...

Rather than focus on the regions accessible from Dragon Pass, maybe the focus should be on character generation keywords, government and temple and regiment organisation, cultural manifestations of the Empire, etc. for the kinds of Lunars who come to Dragon Pass? Not Dara Happan paddy-workers, Carmanian serfs and Darsen Earth Women but Red Moon Missionaries, proud troopers of the Granite Phalanx, and the iron hand of the Imperial Government.

(The fact that this is the kind of Lunar Book I would always have lobbied for myself is neither here nor there).
