Slick asked Brian Staveley:

Hello sir :) Just reread your amazing series again, it's like meeting an old friend you just click back into place with. I have a question about the Csestriim, i know they are long lived but would they look in their 20's, 30's, 40's? Also i wondered if you could give some clues about the sorts of things the Ancient Csestriim Leeches tampered with, things that supposedly frightened the gods?

Brian Staveley Hi Slick -- Sorry I missed this somehow!

Adult Csestriim look about thirty, although they can have scars and wounds that cause them to appear older.

I can't give too many clues about the Csestriim leaches, but the main exploration that's relevant to this series is their experimentation with nothingness. The Blank God's domain is frightening to even the oldest gods, since it has the power to unmake all creation...
