[QUOTE="Xethreau, post: 8144707, member: 57584"] I know Morrus already gave us a warning in the conversation, but if I can say one thing about this (which I hope will be nearly the last word, otherwise I will delete the comment). I know the people who worked on this background, and they understand where you're coming from and put a lot of effort into bringing your points to the forefront of the conversation. The archetype that the "Settler" embodies is someone who lives at the very edges of a kingdom or empire--[B]it is an inherently imperialist archetype[/B]. If someone could rename their way out of having the type be imperialist, they would be a better writer than me. (I would strongly welcome specific suggestions!) What I can say is, while we can't escape the imperialism, [B]we can at least try to be anti-imperialistic[/B]. The point about "not being the first people on the land" was well taken and was, again, put at the forefront in our conversation about that archetype. [/QUOTE]
