The leaden-cooking-pot issue was still causing Keltham to feel - closer to dath ilan - than he has in a while.  And he's also worried people here are getting an inaccurate impression of what dath ilan is actually like, from their policies being discussed mainly in the context of weird thought experiments.

So Keltham has now managed to reconstruct at least one piece of dath ilani fiction.  It's not a very famous one, but the problem is, the actually famous stories are full of way too much incredible prose and complication and made entirely out of foreshadowing.  His previous attempts to ad-lib Miyalsvor and Verrez episodes at dinner are... feeling increasingly painful to him, let's put it that way.

So Keltham is actually just going with this one short story he happened to read a week before his planecrash.  And this time he took the effort to write it down and polish it, with such writing skills as he possessed.  That way people can get at least one actual glimpse of what a normal piece of dath ilani fiction is like.

Anyways, here.
