First of all, thank you, David, for the infos.
> History of The Empire of the Wyrms Friends (EWF
> Propaganda)
I would not call it propaganda, sice it looks to me as
rather correct, but that's maybe because I am an
EWFan.

What is "Waltzing" for? Dancing, jumping, zapping?
Why the bands were called so?

So Prax was a sort of "Trading land" used by EWF to
buy God Learners' sympathy (conquered by EWF allies
but given to the God Learners in exchange for what?)
