/// Hm. You do give me food for thought. I have a pretty defined idea of the Fay Jee rokari community as bent on taking over the city. They make up under 10% of the population, though, and the Episcope cannot go for broke - yet. I see him as trying to control everyone but failing - there are many cracks in rokari society, exacerbated by the local cosmopolitan setting and the many opportunities for perdition you don't find in rural Seshnela.

Also, I never thought of the rokari as bent on proselytism. To me, they mostly want to exterminate heretics and completely ignore non-malks (pagans and heathens). But why not make them subltler, as you say ? Why not have them out to try to conquer hearts and minds ?

That would recquire a lot of rewriting of my Fay Jee, but it's part of the pleasure : reconsidering things with a fresh eye, toying with new ideas.
