And the wilds were far more inhospital - you would not survive long without joining a kingdom, and certainly not if you had more than yourself to care for.” Juniper is a smart woman, so Ru doesn’t point out that the larger a kingdom then grew, the more the pressure to invade and claim a secondary land as their own became.

You said you need a sample from two of each race? I’d be happy to help, I know of quite a few different individuals who wouldn’t miss a little hair.”
