/// Heck, even praxians would seem gentle compared to the rokari. Well, not
praxians maybe. But Rikard the so-called tiger-hearted, renegade scion of House
d'Estau, was a particularly repulsive bastard. I wonder if the lunars killed him
or if he's rotting away in some lunar dungeon.
The Caldvale write up in Tradetalk painted them in a positive light, but not a
twee way IMHO.
/// Yes, I loved the Cadvale community and its imbrication with the traditional
hendreikei. Some members were pure malkioni, some were more-or-less successfully
converted, other were closet orlanthi, etc. Even the Baron was kin with a group
of wind daimons, the "Gwynn Thanes" if I remember well.

/// Interesting. You mean they HAVE to be loyal ? As in, magically bonded ?
Also in our games the Esvulari of Knightfort were feared by the Praxians and were notorious for their bloody treatment of the beast riders. /// And rightly so ! The only way the praxian understand is strength. If rokari could break a bison charge, the good Knights of Ehilm should be able to do the same.
