Both are in bondage. Umathela rather worse than Laskal, and Laskal worse than Fonrit.

Like gangbusters.

Of course the Vadeli never do such horrible things. Just ask 'em.

Kareeshtu and Afadjann don't have trouble with the mermen. They pay a yearly fee (of unknown nature) and aren't bothered by them. Maybe because they have a secret deal. Maybe because they're negotiating as Peter suggests. Maybe because the Malasp are content to prey on the weak rather than the strong.

Who needs to? It would be a total waste of effort, like inventing false atrocity stories about the Nazis in WWII. The truth is bad enough.

P.S. (Please, no pedantic posts to inform me about the existence of false atrocity tales about the Nazis. All I said was they were a waste of effort, not that they didn't exist.)
