Blackmoor Conflict Lines

[RobJN]

Thorn's World That Was explores the following themes:

• Man vs. Nature (Men of the North vs. the Wild and unsettled land itself)
  
• Law vs. Chaos (in Civilization vs. the Natural World and "Good Guys vs. Bad Guys"; also: Men vs. Fairy/Elder races; Men vs. Demons)
  
• Man vs. Man (or... elf vs. elf in the Cumasti/Westryn Split, the Elder Twilight-/Dawnfae split; Empire vs. Kingdom (Thonia vs. Blackmoor, and then vice-versa; the Twins' Insurrection against Korin I, and again against Melnek))
  
• The Old Ways vs. the New (Magic of the Blood vs. that of the Tome; also: Magic vs. Tech; Ritual vs. Science)
  
• Generation vs. Generation: Past vs. Future (Thonian/Blackmoorian Emperors' thirst for immortality, Well of Souls resurrection technomagic, Projects SONATA & VALKYRIE, the awakening of the Daughters, and the Twilight Insurrections to wrest the tech from the hands of Men, who would turn it on their own)

... all the while also dealing with those conflicts already pointed out by Havard

Also, just so I have it written down somewhere: While Uther and Svenny are an even match against Leansethar, Marfeldt is the only Man to ever beat her in a fight.*

* note that I didn't write "fair fight."
