D'Haran peasantry has been ethnically nutritiously cleansed on multiple occasions. I guess it's to be expected that the poorer would die first.

Well, they are repopulating faster than expected they would. Perhaps we are now the romantic version of the Italian mercantile city-state. Renaissance style.

D'Hara is the capital of eroticism.

So I just learned the full extent of the history between Luria, D'Hara, and Barca a few days ago. Very interesting. I can understand where much of the animosity comes from. It's actually pretty awesome.

Did you ever read up on the Brief History of Occidentalism?

So... Where did you read about it? I am kinda curious myself.

Whatever you read is only a tiny fraction of what was lived.

Partly stuff learned from correspondence between Malus and Hireshmont, and partly chatting with Anaris on IRC.

Well that's suckish. Feel like summarizing the important parts? (Or not summarizing is good too.)

Here's a big part of what he read:

Also, for the record Solari–

The Farronite Republic jives with my theoretical description of Occidentalism pretty darn well. Considering its history through the lens of Occidentalist discontent and internationalist reformism is enlightening, methinks.
