You reckon? The big problem with this approach to Lunarising Heortling society is that (as noted in How Many Heros, Enclosure 2) it is an 'heroic' society.The farmers soon turn into priests & heros, NB Harmast. Decentalised societies are a real bugger to 'passify', chopping off the upper structure just gives the lower parts a chance to become upper. Of course the Lunars, being a centralised urban culture, may not know this. The Tarshites, however, would be well aware of it. Hence Tightfist's persecutions in the Far Place.
