Caph couldn't just abolish slavery - it's economic and social systems are too dependant on it. So Kiivan and Ohanna seek a generational change by making it possible for slaves to rise to be owners, and eventually get everyone to be owners. It's controversial but something has to be done. I see it causing a lot of legal problems, maybe even violence, as one person who claims to own a woman tries to place a claim against her and the people she owns as well. Especially if it's a "traditionalist" who hates the idea in the first place. It also may destabilize the government as people who don't like the changes threaten it.

(no text) · Rhiannon · Fri Mar 14, 2008 at 12:49:19 pm EDT  There's not a lot else in these stories but charactery bits, I'm afraid. It's really just a series of vignettes. · HH · Fri Mar 14, 2008 at 01:05:22 pm EDT  I thought so far the party chapter was rather tame for Caph... · Hatman · Fri Mar 14, 2008 at 11:40:34 am EDT  We haven't done the party chapter yet.

Just a view.

[Spoilers] · Hatman · Fri Mar 14, 2008 at 11:42:56 am EDT  Okay, that's another facet of Caphan life explored. Whether we like it or not.
