/// This is the kind of thing I want to read : it makes the malkioni (rokari in this case) more tangible, more playable. This is very useful. I like the way you say horali are ALLIED and not SUBJECTS to the talari. Again, goes to show inter-caste negociations must be constant in malkioni lands. And the idea of killing a talar being criminal for a horal - that open many other possibilites. I wonder if the custom of ransom is as widespread in malkioni lands as it was in RW middle age ?
