Ah, but humans do not change tribes merely because they have entered the territory of another. I do not think a Basmoli that travels to Telmori lands suddenly starts turning into a wolf rather than a lion. In fact, I don't think Hsunchen necessarily recognise each other as kin at all.

In several places its mentioned that there are no lions in Prax. The Basmoli article in TOTRM said that what this really meant was that there where no lions in Prax, but there were deep in the Wastes - but I don't believe this either.

Definately not what they told me at the Whales exhibition last week, and how could you doubt an exhibition with large animatronic whales in it? - quick, is there a marine biologist in the house? Now that doubt has been cast, I'd like to know the truth of the matter.
