>Well then what have the Bloody Lunars ever given us.

        Well, there is less trouble with clan feuding Well, obviously, but...

        And there's the new roads.
yes, but....

        And the soup kitchens
yes, but thats just a plot to...

        And the aqueducts...

        etc.

        The Lunars do a lot for their subject peoples. They are also quite repressive, as any military government over occupied Sartar would have to be to avoid a clan uprising. Anyone who says all, even an Orlanthi all, Sartarites despise all Lunars is probably wrong. I think many Sartarites secretly probably think that they are OK, though many of them will be either pragmatic opportunists, or the genuinely poor (who appreciate the Lunar charity). And I am sure many Sartarites have done quite well out of the Lunar yoke, not that they would care to admit it in public. Lots of money floating around, new trade routes, old ones made safer, charitable institutions of various kinds (free resurrection for many of those the CAs refuse - and at a cheaper price), religious tolerance for those in cults unpopular with the Orlanthi. Of course, many of them hate them with a vicious passion as well.

        Cheers
