Except the Vistani, that section would reinvent them to drop the racist gypsy/Roma tropes and present the culture in how they relate to the horrors of the mists . . . .EDIT: Added a chapter for witches! This would also require a guide to the classic horror of witches and hags, but . . . . with an attempt to remove the ageism and misogyny inherent in the tropes (powerful females are evil, old and ugly females are evil)I don't think it will be quite this, but . . . . one can hope! Well, unless you're trapped in the Realms of Dread!</blockquote>
