As I had read the betrayal chapter it shows clearly that the environment was so important to people and how the environment is so important to people and how they could have consquences.A example of this I saw was in the betrayal chapter was how Raymondin was reading the letter his children had wrote to him and how they both became successful on the adventures and described their alliances and had to note that the sahel empire was successful since they had built their empire under the leo constellation sign and how they note that this difference compared to their alliances allowed them to make it through many hardships.When I thought why they would note the zodiac sign I thought what the zodiac sign represents which is fearlessness and courage which they would need if they wanted to establish their empire in such a difficult environment.Another instance was when raymund was trying to sneek a look at melusine and he discovered rocks that were stars and were “worshipped by the cartridge”.It shows the importance of how people looked to the unknown and tried to find a explanation and not only that showed that their curiosity was focused on that of space at the time and reaching the stars.It not only shows the sciences people focused on it showed that the sciences and how people looked for a justification for the supernatural and showed critical thinking and questioned the importance of credible theories.
