I'd like to think that's there's enough material already in print to
give people with an inordinate interest in doing so a pretty good shot
at doing so compared to the Lunar Empire, or even to Sartar, Prax has
been covered in a relatively high level of detail.
Since the money the GTA has raised isn't yet enough to cover even all
five 'core' books, plus the four Sartar/Orlanthi ones (which I submit
are quite clearly the best place to start, as Issaries, as I understand
it, indeed plan to), then one should appreciate that quibbling about
where Prax should come in the schedule is crossing a bridge or several
too far. Sure, Prax should not be 'ruled out', bit I'd like to know
what ought to be 'bumped' to make room for it, from the schedule as
currently envisaged.
OTOH, I'm sure if someone were to donate $5000 with the stipulation that

Perhaps I'm suffering an Error in Perception, but it would seem you're
it be used to print a Prax book, or to publish their own Approved prax
supplement, then Issaries would be a happy bunch of little bunnies,
indeed.

implying that a) Praxian society isn't based on clans; and that
b) Orlanthi society being clan-based is what MOB might call a 'naff
retcon'. Surely these suppositions are both clearly false, no?
Slan,
