Kahtib seemed to be a stand-up guy, but his fellow citizens had tried to enslave us, abandoned us in the desert, instituted a policy to kill all wizards and sorcerers (which especially with Lira earns you no points), and just the other day Jamaldeen threatened to flog Lira himself.On the other hand, the prospective guide Parwin (also a Shesher) would have been our top choice to lead us through the desert if she had had any idea where to find the place we wanted to go.  She also had quite the slavery sob story, if you will recall.So the Shesher had inherited a bit of good will from that, and the humans had to overcome previous negative impressions.And the most frustrating thing was the complete refusal of anyone to see any sort of reason.</blockquote>
