: Recently, while re-reading the Web of the Witch World I have noticed a strange thing. It was said there that the Kolder wanted to destroy Estcarp by weakening it by constant borderr rallys form all bordering countries, meaning Karsten and Alizon. That's understandable.
: I understand as well that all the people in Estcarp, Karsten and Alizon had a mind-blockade when thinking of the eastern border, but don't you think that it shouldn't have affected the Kolder with all their machines? It apparenly did, though.Well, that really depends on how the Kolder found out about the geography of the Witch World, doesn't it? I mean, they came through a gate, not from the stars via spaceship. So if theye didn't have any contact with the nations to the east of Estcarp, Alizon, and Karsten, there isn't much they could have accomplished there.
: P.S. Another thing. Simon's children were able to think about the earstern border, because they were HIS children. Why then didn't Simon himself posess his ability?
I agree with Lady_Witch. I think if Simon gave any thought at all to the east, since there were no armies there and no threats, it would not have been important enough for him to dwell on it. Michael
