: It seems to me that the people of Gower are viewed much
: the same way as the Zerks--incredibly brave and
: tenacious, but not world-shatteringly (war-decidingly)
: powerful, since they don't have 1337 mages or
: cutting-edge technology.
: You'll recall that after TFL it turned out the Zerk
: homeland was "virtually untouched by the Dark...
: a testament to the mettle of their homeguard.? Sure,
: but it's also a testament to Zerks' not being
: important enough to wipe out wholesale. Balor and his
: Lords concentrated on the Province because the Nine
: and the remaining Dwarves were the real threat...the
: Zerks were just too much trouble to kill given their
: comparative unimportance.

: I suspect the same is true of the people of Gower. Why
: bother tracking down every single battle-hardened
: warrior hiding in the scrub and sacrificing a few
: Thrall to finish him off? Balor has better things to
: do; he's got a continent to conquer. He can do Gower
: on cleanup.
: Now that's not to say Gower didn't suffer horribly in the
: Great War. But they're used to suffering horribly.
: They spent a thousand years in villages getting
: devoured by Myrkridia. If 10% of their population
: survives a Dark attack, it's probably a good day.
