hey Jian, Thanks or the review and glad you enjoyed it. well, I hear your questions, and MOST of them are answered in Stu's novel. you might wanna give that a go i intentionally made it uber-formal because it's a legend of the planet, and Galwrons do have a very formal speech pattern. (tried to keep them in character! ) It's like reading an epic, cold and detached... just hard facts. They're humanoid, yes, BUT they're not humans. they dont age like we do! hence the 5000 years. Ailarha HATED Arensha's arrogance, there is a reason she is called the 'Mistress' of minds instead just just 'Lady'
