Right, like I would waste two paragraphs on expounding Kralori prejudice instead of describing what the Ignorants are actually like? That the Ignorants are proverbial in Kralorela for their stupidity (which is a true statement) does not mean that the sentences that follow are Kralori fabrications. Much of the statements are about material and observable features of Ignorant culture - such as not using metal tools - and it is difficult to interpret them as kralori prejudices.

So Shavaya's Blinding of the Solar Storm isn't a sufficient cause for their spiritual darkness? I realize it's not explicitly stated as such but it seems to me a fair interpretation that what happened afterwards was Kralorela's fault.
