The Olthoi are insidious, undermining our strengths by preying on our fear. It was fear that made us endure their slavery, but it was also fear that made Elysa and Thorsten strike out at our captors. They were willing to sacrifice themselves to attempt to free our people. Long ago the Falatacot steeped themselves in magic, sacrificing their normal lives for an eternity as undead so that they could complete their "Great Work." It was all for naught, but their presence during the Shadow Wars turned the tide. What are you willing to endure to preserve our species? Nuhmudira was willing to sacrifice herself and others to ensure the future of Dereth, although her motives can only be guessed. If you read Nuhmudira's Journal, you can see how she rationalized her behavior.

Discuss: Is Nummie cuckoo or just conniving? What is her next move now that Falatacot are back?
