>Such sentimentality. Don't mistake any Gloranthan society for
Sentimentality has nothing to do with the discussion. The discuusion was whether or not the Herotlings in Sartar had a common reason to want the Lunars out.

Then why attack Heortland. That place was so screwed from internal strife it who did it posed a threat too. And if the Herotlings in Sartar are so fragmented how could they possible be a threat to te Empire.

I am sure Heottlings can make a huge distinction between having a few thralls around who clear out cess pits and huge state run slave farms.

Plenty of evidence of this.

Plenty of evidence of this.

No evidence of this what so ever.

Now who is being Sentimental. BTW there is no W in my surname.
