John Brown wonders:
> After all, it is common knowledge that the Red Goddess dwells on the Moon
which is on the
mundane plane. I think this clearly violates the Compromise.
I think the surface of the Red Moon is on the God Plane, as are the
surfaces of all the moons & planets, the Sky, the peak of Wintertop, the
bottom of the Hellcrack, etc. Dieities dwell in all these places. All
IMO.
David Cake wonders about citizenship and rights in DH. I agree with him
that Yelmies are traditionally entitled to a Yelmic judge. HOTB also
implied that Lunar citizenship was a valuable thing; it opened a world
of rights and opportunites. (My character, Terpetia Bosky, wanted it
desperately. As a citizen, she figured she could conduct business deals
of almost any sort with impunity from the magistrate, as long as she
didn't annoy any other citizens.)
I'm certain that one has to be a citizen to be a senator. Likely one
has to be a citizen to hold most political offices. My guess is that in
modern times, one can be a citizen if both parents were. Dekdari may
become citizens if they prove themselves worty, and having one parent
citizen to speak for you helps a lot.
