Not forgetting, just not emphasising I think.
Cooperation doesn't seem to be a big part of things in Glornatha *at present* since I don't recall a lot of cultures saying many good things about foreigners and their strange ways. This could be an artifact of my relative lack of familiarity with the setting compared to some people.

I am trying to, honest!
The impression that I got from most cultures (other than those in the
Lunar Empire) was that one tended to dominate - and my reading of the
mechanics suggests that, unless one's common magic is required for
staying alive, concentration is often a "good deal". Perhaps it might
have been clearer if all common magic was a talent and there was some
other term for the "basic" magic obtained from a particular religion?

My precious HP!

I had merely wondered if their visible socio-political state of affairs was due to some unfortunate alignment of cosmic forces and geography.
