How about we each give 2 things that we'd love to have in future Books by Ben Dever, by which I mean they don't have to be Lone Wolf Books, but believe we'll never see?. Here's mine
A main villain that isn't evil, rather he is actually niether good nor evil, but he or she is very heavily misguided and thinks that what he or she is doing will be of great benefit to the world
A enemy that is so powerful that in order to have a chance of defeating it 2 countries that are normally enemies of each other have to work together

I'd love more Lone Wolf Adventure Game books, but I suppose that's Cubicle 7.

You don't want a new guide? (Sorry couldn't resist) Good question, and I definitely agree with your first point. I would love to face an antagonist that wasn't pure evil. Someone that makes you start to doubt your actions and the pure goodness of the Kai. Once Naar and his evil forces are hopefully finished with by the end if book 32, there would be ripe potential for a more of a 'grey' set of Lone Wolf books rather than the simple good vs evil.

Magnamund isn't Thieves' World. GOOD vs. EVIL is kind of the default setting. Figure you're not getting anything like until after LW 32 is released, anyway.

I have been thinking recently about how things look from the perspective of the Giaks. They are bred for war. They are raised in brutal conditions under cruel masters. They have no experience of anyone nurturing them. Their reputations are important to them, but in their culture the baseline amount of mutual trust is very low. Their worldview is built around the idea that the strong take what they want.
The Giaks would have a different understanding of Kai and Naar than the humans do. Kai is the sun god. He warms the land and causes the plants to grow. The plants feed animals, which are preyed upon by stronger animals. These are all resources. Naar understands that resources are to be seized by whoever is the strongest. Change is the natural state of things and war is part of it. If humans would just look at themselves, they would understand that it's foolish to believe otherwise. It is only because the humans are so comfortable that they can be so self-righteous.
It would be fun to explore all that in a story somehow.
