I won!  I won!  This is the first contest I have ever won.  I thought I was coming into the contest way too last.  I just now got an e-mail from Megan saying that I won.  Any one else here win the Readergirlz Contest back in Febuary?

Debate?

So here's a maybe controversial thought: I love the Eddisians, but are the stereotypes the lowlanders have about them really all that far off?

goatfoot - Gen does scramble up and down cliffs like a goat, no?
backwards - Didn't Gen need the Magus to send him more recent scholarly and political material?
brutish - Didn't Gen's cousins sound a bit harsh? And that was royalty!
oafish - Weren't Gen's reading skills 'rudimentary' before he started living in a library? And don't we get frequent mentions of how hardly anybody (in the government even!) ever goes into that wing?
barbarian - Did you see them fight those Medes? According to Attolia, all they do all winter is beat each other with swords.
