The Praxians think otherwise viewing it as a land of pretty women, weak warriors, and powerful magicians. To qualify their view, I would state that as individual warriors, the Teshnans are strong and impressive. It is in terms of group tactics and inititative that they are poor. They could produce a damn good army if they wanted to but they have little need.

AFAIK the Teshnans were mostly conquered by Sheng. The Kralori have more trouble with sending an army through a large Jungle (Amazons, Hsunchen and Yellow Elves) then they would have with the Teshnan Army.

The only additional detail that I can think of about the whole affair is that the Vessel of Light was so interested in playing a golden lyre that Holy Country Ambassadors had given him that he failed to notice the original blasphemy or the subsequent retribution.
