"Ritten" is the feminine of "Ritter." Ritter can be loosely thought of as Lord, Baron, or Knight; so Ritten is roughly "noble lady" or Baroness.

Have you ever considered using other polarized concepts than chaos/order in your writing, perhaps something like a structure/flow opposition or a liquid/solid dynamic? The reason I ask is that I do system engineering, and these perspectives are very helpful when diagnosing non-functioning applications.

Thanks for your response. For real life politics, the US Congress has 100 senators, 435 representatives, 6 delegates, 12,500 official's staff, 6,000 committee staff, 3,000 at Library of Congress and 3,000 GAO. Then add State, County, Township and City officials and a Congress persons must know thousands of people. From your experience, how many people did you know by name when you were on the congressional staff?

I love your writing, I have many of your books! I love the Corean Chronicles! Did you intend to keep us 'in the dark' to the reasons why Dainyl did the things he did? I felt he had an understanding on how the world worked that wasn't shared, he acted on intuition, but didn't go back to analyse what was going on. Do you intentionally just tell the story/actions and allow us to fill in what motivates a character?
