Well, spectacles, and the fact that Catherine of Aragon had blonde hair and blue eyes... Oh! Could you post a photograph? In the event that that is not snark, I'll refer you to two portraits of her: http://www.marileecody.com/sixwives/aragondeflandes.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Michel_Sit...

Finlay - those are great photos, but are you sure you're not from the seventeenth century? If only the presence of a brown girl didn't spoil the effect... :P She could be Catherine of Aragon (who had Moorish ancestors); I think it's the spectacles that ruin that. Well, spectacles, and the fact that...

It's entirely possible to maintain a strong belief in God while having a good deal of scientific knowledge. A think our civilization's secular orientation has nothing to do with our technological advancement. Communism and the hippie ideology have quickly fallen out of fashion :D. And they liked to...

It would appear that Almean dates are not particularly related to terrestrial dates. Though both progress only forwards in time, the rates at which they do so vary from intermundal contact to intermundal contact (like in the Narnia books). Besides, the Almean year (and day, for that matter) is a dif...

A possible counter-question might be, how many really unpleasant religions are there on Earth? If I could only ask Earth's creator that, then I'd be all set. The difference is that Christianity and Islam also happen to be by far the most prevalent religions on Earth, and the influence of their most...

Where are the Almean nutball religions?
Though a few Almean religions, like Mešaism, have unpleasant elements to them, it seems that there's not really anything analogous to Dominionism or Islamism in the known regions of Almea (except, perhaps, uh, Gelalhát?). Jippirasti inspired several religious wars, but even then, they seem rather ta...

The Eledhi & Magic
I've just been perusing the Almeopedia page on magic; it's quite interesting. I was just wondering: what do the Eleďi think of all this? Do they retain Old Testament proscriptions against "witchcraft"?

Re: The Elenicoi and Naturalisation
How is it that the Verdurians were so tolerant of a bunch of pale-faced loons who arrived on a strange boat wandering about doing really stupid things while babbling a half-intelligible broken form of their language and being completely illiterate that these people were accepted into Verdurian cult...
