Scott, I noticed that there are two oppossing veiws of warfare in the books. Conphas states that war is intellect and Khellus States that war is conviction. At one point in time I would have totally agreed with the belief that Conphas holds. Yet after reading TWP and reflecting back on several wars and campaigns I have read I see that conviction is a major role too. What made you pick up on this and make it a part of your books? I also love the way Cnauir describes warfare as an arguement it is priceless. view post
This question actually strikes at the heart of several big thematic axes I'm grinding throughout the books, Harrol.

Belief [i:3i40ud14]empowers[/i:3i40ud14], there's no question about that. The issue is one of whom and for what end. view post
