I get why people get so heated, and both sides have points. But if you look at the Balkans or the Middle East, everyone there had/has points for their grudges and vendettas.

Coincidentally, this is where the idea and my interest in goblins comes from. Real grudges, bad results.

Reading God’s Shadow. It’s about the intricacies and atrocities of Ottoman empire power politics. I don’t know a great deal about the history so it’s hard to render judgement on the historical elements, and I’m not in far enough to critique the rest.
