was a bit foggy minded at the time. I fully heartedly concur. I really
see the Dayzatar Monks in the Yuthuppan Millieu as being the cumulation
of a Starseers Spiritual Career (kind of like the Alchemist discovering

become sufficiently advanced enough to attain the 'cosmic consciousness'
that allows them to join Dayzatar. Many outsiders mistakenly assume that
all Starseers are Dayzatar Priests nevertheless.

Given that the Viziers are beneath the status of a Carmanos who surely
has a right to trial by his peers, I don't see anything wrong with this
