WHAT?????!!!!!! Those barbaric Revaned, with no thought at all for honest
businessmen, trying to put a crust on the table!</outrage>
Actually, Lla Gos Nustr can't stand the Arvorc'hedow. The Arvorec
"equivalent" of CN is Marc'hagow an Adhewlat, "the knights of the homeland",
and a sort of on-off warfare has been going on for many years between the
two, first over smuggling (both sides wanted the profit) and then over the
MA's insistance of "protecting the interests" of Arvorec immigrants into the
FK. The undercover survivors of the latinisation of Britain, the secrect
P-Celtic minority (known to the Arvorc'hedow and themselves as Brethanegau,
are the MA's principle contact, and it is rumoured that these Brethanegau
take their orders from Porth Belen and Landrewan (twin capitals of the
Ynysaw). Of course, both governments deny the existance of such people, but
they happen to be trotted out in every conspiracy theory going. Even the
recent assassination attempt on King Gereint was blamed on them.
