I think that there is another dimension of conflict within Malkioni
society, that between the religious Wizards of the High Orders and
the scholarly Sorcerers that
> wield the cosmic laws as if they were putty
I see the High Orders as representing the religious hierarchy who,
in theory, like the idea of the
> epitome of one imbued with God's Grace
but, in practice, object to the loss of power and/or prestige that a
Knight causes them.
Again, in theory, the Wizards/High Orders object to the atheistic Sorcerers but, in practice, as the Sorcerers do not tap the same pool of socio-religious power as themselves, they do not personally hate them so much.
Yet again we end up with the internal conflicts within a religion taking precedence over the conflicts between believers and non-believers.
