1) The Brithini (who first fought against the Vadeli) do not worship
    the Invisible God nor have any belief in Solace. They believe
    that there is a creator but they view him more like the RW Big Bang.

2) The Mostali have some indigenous form of sorcery and people don't
    seem to go out of their way to malign the Mostali. Even considering

    what they put in the Monthly Stew.

I thought it was the Umathelan Coast that was in bondage as Laskal
is on the other side of the Fonritan Pennisula. There is a Vadeli
City of Garanz in Umathela and one wonders how the Vadeli are
getting along with the Malasp. I know the Uz of Jrustela sacrifice
humans to ensure Malasp goodwill...

I get the impression that they look like grotesque Guild Navigators
in the Dune Movie. But considering that Golden Kareshtu is a Great
Naval power and Afadjann is pretty good itself, I wonder whether they
are actually courting the Malasp into an alliance rather than being

in bondage?
