"We met once, many years ago when the both of us were young. It was quite unlike any diplomatic event I had ever attended before, and remains unparalleled in every event since. I was in their company for five hours, no more and no less, yet that time will live forever in my mind.  They weren't yet of a stature that is in any way imposing, and I can imagine they're still small to this very day. That didn't make them any less of a terrible thing to witness. Of course, the Utai lifespan is a long one; the young god-emperor has untold millennia stretching before them to grow into their robes. But that's none the easier on us, not when the one who holds the lives of so many in their hands will be caught up in awkward adolescent cruelties for lifetimes to come.  I cannot believe that they were born this way, no matter the stock of the foul bubbling broodpool that spawned them. They were coaxed into this shape by the flock of advisers that has thronged them since the day that they rose sputtering onto the poolside. The young Great Sage is among the worst of them, a being who's ambition is only matched by their pettiness.  It makes me terribly angry that such a society should be on top of the universe's hierarchy. Both rampant theocracy and a king's divine rights are something most civilised societies abandoned eons ago. Yet the Utai prevail.  I haven't known peace since the moment our eyes met, and I may never sleep soundly in my roost ever again. The Aultveqna is a creature not to be messed with." - Extract from the memoir of Nemes Yis Mamekm the Woadwinged, 18th Grand Co-ordinator of the Quol Cluster

I seem to be writing more meta text than actual prose these days, and I have meta prepared for many chapters in advance. 

 So... as you can see the Quolech don’t like the Utai much either. I’m just imagining what happened at this diplomatic event that left the Grand Co-ordinator unable to sleep for so long. I’ll probably leave that one to the reader’s imagination...
