Sieh seems to believe that they have not changed in the generations since, but maybe Shahar is closer to the current norm?Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03683230093775720398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074055834975214817.post-12946807921566444272014-02-15T12:47:02.864-05:002014-02-15T12:47:02.864-05:00My suspicion is that the Arameri can't be all ...My suspicion is that the Arameri can't be all bad anymore, because it just won't work. They'll lose their power if they do. During the time that they had the Enefadeh as weapons, they could be as corrupt and power-hungry as they wanted, no matter who they had to screw over to get there. Now the playing field has been leveled, and they're going to have to learn the same rules of diplomacy and alliance that every other nation has, otherwise all of the nations that were once subordinate to the Arameri might just gang up on them and take their revenge. Perhaps the Arameri changing their natures will parallel Sieh growing up.Grace @Bookswithoutanypictureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14926992766158099078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074055834975214817.post-73660470756005392712014-02-12T14:05:52.422-05:002014-02-12T14:05:52.422-05:00I'm sorry, did my blog eat it ? :(

What also struck was the way she calmly said would not want Sieh to kill Shahar because heirs are such a big investment. It's like she cares about her only as a commodity. Makes the old Dekarta look warm and fuzzy.<br /><br />Sieh's games really bring out the creepy side of childhood...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074055834975214817.post-14406032320387776822014-02-11T13:36:10.135-05:002014-02-11T13:36:10.135-05:00I just wrote this great long comment and it got lo...I just wrote this great long comment and it got lost in the ether....sigh...<br /><br />Sieh needs a shirt that says 'Does not play well with other!' <br /><br />Yeine is a great bridge because she doesn't have a previous intense negative relationship with Itempas. But I do wonder how it will pan out with Nahadoth. <br /><br />I had not thought of Sieh possibly changing from godling to god. But that may very well explain his resonance with the maelstrom. nrlymrtlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00572346310916207565noreply@blogger.com
