Nice story . . . I've read quite a bit of fantasy, and though I do prefer SF, this one was quite satisfying. No stunning surprises here, just an epic confrontation.

Some of the language was exceptionally beautiful, and sometimes thought-provoking, such as:
"You have two names, Er-Jan, is that not a privilege?"

"Perhaps in the endless caverns of the lime-nomads, but in my city it is a mark of shame. It denotes one who has not gained balance within his soul, one who is sheared by conflict."
Very nice . . . kinda makes up for the lack of bigger surprises.
I was raised by humans. What's your excuse?
