Opinions

Children of the Emerald Mother "One might think that those that run in packs would be somewhat more inclined towards cooperation. This is apparently not so." "They understand the importance of sharing wisdom. Secrets kept from allies do no good to anyone." "Wisest of us all, yet their wisdom so often falls on deaf ears. Perhaps it is because the others, in their pride, refuse to accept someone else as wiser than them. Tragic."

Bakemono "Like sand on a beach: it gets everywhere, and requires great effort to remove entirely." "The Hungry Dead of the East spoke of you. None of what they had to say was very polite." "The one thing worse than a Namebreaker perverting the power of Heaven through ignorance: one who does so knowingly."

Shen "You play with power stolen from Heaven, and you expect no reprisal? Folly." "Hsien, Menehune, Nunnehi, Kithain... for all your differences, you are all much more alike than you would care to think." "So... they're some bizarre mix of Hsien and Kuei-jin, only without the respect for Heaven? Aberrations."

Mayflies "Loud, smelly, numerous and proud. A dangerous combination." "The Shih, I could tolerate, even respect. Not so much these western fools." "Clever enough to know where to look; wise enough to know when to stop."
