"If had to say what were the core social values of Karkardanistan, it would be Respect, Courtesy, and Politesse. Have dignity in your interactions with others, and treat them with dignity. At least that is how it was with the higher classes, who I interacted with the most. Always try to keep composure. The lower classes would act more... 'familiar' with each other, as it is in all nations, but the Temples taught them respect. Neither be cold nor unrestrained, but kind and composed.
As for other races... Well... With other horses, like Saddle Arabians, we have fought wars. Karkadannistan was a part of the Saddle Arabian Empire for a few centuries, and I do not think they have forgotten it. With non-horses" Her expression changes to one of almost disgust
"Let's just say it is much easier to respect the Caliph in Saddle Arabia than... Gnolls, or the Yetis of the south. I will say I interacted with many of them during the Storm King's reign. We had to help supply them. They could be... okay at times, but you could never fully consider them equals"

She now turns to him
"Oh, thank you thank you thank you"
And she hugs Silver
"Thank you for bringing our son back"

Silver is a bit surprised by the hug, but he does hug back, pats her back, and releases her in respect for her husband.
"It was nothing. I am glad I could help."

He's a bit surprised too, but is still jubilant
Stallion:
"If there is anything we can do for you in return, tell us"

He waves it off with a hoof.
"Thank you, but I do not need anything as reward. Though, maybe if we meet again some day, we will have to get dinner."

"Karkadannistan culture, at least for the old guard, was centered on everyhorse taking a role under tradition, that wove them into a social web so that every member of society and every class benefited another, and everyhorse was linked through this web to horses of centuries past, and to generations not yet born in the future. But Equestria took this a step further. True interdependence. Beyond kind but composed... Friendship. True Harmony. That was the image, anyways. And more than Friendship: technology, wealth, and power.
The Storm King came into our lands early, he destroyed temples and burned plantations, and forced most of the rest of us landowners to work with him. But the Storm King died in Equestria. That was a big event for us. Nothing changed my life more, save the day my son was born, and the day the Storm King's airships entered my country.
That Twilight Sparkle is one of the greatest creatures ever to have lived, of that I have no doubt. But I will say again what I said before. I am not certain she had the jealousy and practical cynicism to truly guard what she had created."

"Well you are invited back anytime!" she says
The stallion leans in again, to hug Loputu, while another colt comes out
"Loputu!"

"Your liberation?"
She tilts her head
"Oh, the Civil War. Twilight was fully invested into her doctrine of opening Equestria. This had... mixed results. Crysalis would not be anything but hostile, and could not be turned to friendship. The yaks would not help with the Changelings, but the Hippogrifs would. Equestria's best friends were those the furthest from the danger, but the closer to the danger, the more they cowered. Then the split with the colony happened, and they tried to conquer an Empire, and Twilight declared war to show that she would stand beside young griffin states... It got messy. She was very much committed to an ideal, and it did not work out for her... But I should not lecture an Equestrian on Equestrian politics"

He wags his tail briefly
"My name is Esimene Sula! Nice to meet you, Silver Sword!"

Talve escorts him down the satirs, through the alley and the center plot, then through the alley and locking the door. But before Silver leaves, he asks Silver about his work fighting the griffins
"You say you defeated a whole gang of griffin slavers?"

"Slavers, traffickers...and cultists if you could believe it. It turns out there was number of them who were sacrificing those they captured."

Silver nods.
"We found and managed to save two they were in middle of sacrificing. They had cut them open, from collar to abdomen, all way through breastbone to expose their hearts. It was...gruesome. But, it is over now. They have been either killed or captured."
Silver nods.

She nods her head
"I can understand that. Still though, Equestria is not as I had hoped it would be, so far."
She looks directly at him
"But you... you and your friends, have been true Equestrians. Equestria lives in you."

"Young trees, yes. When I tried to reach Equestria, I decided to have a few trees from my family plantation shipped to Equestria as well. I hoped to plant them in Equestrian soil"
>>126053
As Silver trots along, he goes past through more half lit streets, and more bombed out buildings, and through a set of buildings similarly bared and guarded to what he saw in little Skynavia. Buildings baring the red and black flag in the windows. After some time, he passes out of Red Heart, and into Eastside, where he can hail a taxi for the last bit of distance

A taxi takes him down the streets, dropping him off at the tavern for charge of a single bit. Silver sees that the Tavern is filled with the rescued creatures

Silver and Dark Star may or may not notice each other in the room. Dark Star is talking to Meadows at the bar. There are a number of the rescues there. Blue Skies is arguing with Johann about... something, Khoi and Jubilosa are with each other, and Undertoe is sort of between the two groups, but kind of to herself.

It seems to be a historical argument about the course of the development of the Griffonian Empire, in particular, the crusade against the river nations. Skies seems to believe that the Griffonian Empire did not have the essential military virtues to defeat the River ponies - in particular, Nimbusia - while Johann seems to believe it had more to do with happenstance. Likewise, Johann believes that the Idle of Boreas was an essential Palladium securing the wellbeing of the Griffonian Empire, while Blue Skies believes that the power of nobles is what ruined it - a view Johann does not entirely disagree with. As they argue more, they come upon the agreement that an active, virtuous citizenry is essential to the wellbeing of the state
>>126063
She smiles, with a "heh"
"Oh, I don't know about that. But If I can ever get a plantation going, you can certainly have some nuts"
