I don't see it that way, myself. Perhaps *that* particular episode would result in smallish baby steps, or none at all; but most rebellions start this way. Society usually doesn't change in a flash, or by one action; but by a building up of many little things resulting in a bang of some type; or perhaps just a fundamental shift in the way people think, resulting in change (like Cawti). > > Remember that at the end of Teckla, Vlad himself 'owns' the territory of East Adrilankha.
