Wow! This is just wonderful! A lovely piece of world-building, and in an impeccably historical-paper style. I would take off my hat to you, if I had one. *doffs imaginary hat*

One minor thing: the Appendix starts out describing the military structure in the past tense, but then switches to the present, which is confusing. I just thought I'd mention it!

Good job; please keep writing!

Hi, I got your PM, and I'll work on LG in a while. It's been a while since I actively played FFX and *sigh* I haven't finished 100% of FFX-2.
I kind of like this. I just wish it would have gone into some detail as to how some Maesters were already dead, cause I sure don't remember the reason from the game.
Nice.
