Kalyr is set in my original fantasy world of Kalyr, and focuses on the struggle between the ancient and decadent kandar civilisation, and their rebellious human slaves. It features psionics, arcane technology, strange alien races, mystery and intrigue. Influences include Gene Wolfe & Jack Vance, but don't let that put you off!

Kalyr: 97a.1 - Debriefing (Duplar and Jathren)

Duplar sighs.

"Yes, I do know how to do the smart-Kandar-about-town routine", Duplar 
says, "I don't happen to like it. Smart-Kandar-about-town tend not to 
like me. But you are right, these humans don't need to know Duplar the 
street beggar".

"Yes", Kala responds, "I have read your file.  I can't say I completely 
understand when you say you actually *like* pretending to be a beggar, 
not matter how useful your role may be to us".

"Now, what sort of carrots can I offer them?".

"Security?", she replies, "They're in a city with a culture completely 
alien to them, where a failure of etiquette might prove fatal. Show them 
that if they're willing to learn, and try to fit in, they can find a way 
to fit it.  And if they can prove themselves useful, we can pay them 
more than anyone else will for their skills.  Nobody but us employs 
humans as anything more than common labourers or skivvies".

"They will need somewhere to live, and support until they find a way to 
earn a living. Can we find them rooms?".

"I'd rather we continued to house them within the complex for the time 
being; later on, once they've got a feel for the city, we might move 
them to one of the guild's lodging houses".

"Any more questions, Duplar?"
