When I thought of the Kathani, the residents of the Khanate, I thought of large cities by the river, or small ones by a lake. I thought of dances, and singing, and banquets of strange foods.
Big surprise, the Kamajeen don't do that, especially not for prisoners.
In retrospect, it makes sense. As a nomadic people, they have fewer resources, spending more of their time surviving and less of it just relaxing.
Hm? Oh, yes. They didn't have a chain or noose on me, but I would find that I was regarded as a prisoner nonetheless. The Kamajeen don't bother with such things; why would they, when leaving the tribe was certain death?
Lucky me, that they hadn't adapted to the comparative luxury of our broken lands.
