Holly,
Well thougt out and intersting to read. Bravo for having the time to sit down
and contemplate Steve's reasoning. I always thought that the uprising
couldn't take place in Teckla because:
1.) The Teckla were not, as a majority, upset. (Remeber the
conscripts.)
2.) The Empire already had a sound, economic foundation.
3.) The Empire has a strong enough, and loyal enough (The majority
being from
the elite themselves), military to put down any uprising.
4.)The Empire has Sethra Lavode ('nuff said on that).
