"I think Keltham is trusting in Carissa, his unknown god, and the tropes, to have sent him where he needs to go? Or - putting a lot of probability on that. If not for those things, and if not for him being in love, he wouldn't be trusting in our alter-Cheliax without asking about a lot of other countries."
"So, how does alter-Cheliax not screw that up, is the question? Though we should also have alter versions of all the countries that are better than Cheliax where they're worse than Cheliax, and be ready to provide faked documentation about that. I wish 'why trust what you can verify' wasn't a dath ilani saying, but it is."
