Stormwaltz Quotes/On Aluvia and Viamont
From Stormwaltz:
Quick note before I go to work. Isparians live as long as you and I. Normally theyd have briefer lives due to their tech level - equal to late medieval Earth. But Isparians have Life Magic, and magic is just ethereal technology.

Also, with all that Viamont rule, could some of the aluvians be 50% viamont or more?
After so many years of interbreeding, I would be surprised if there are many with more than 1/6 Viamont blood. And remember, the Viamont came as noble overlords and conquerors. While Im sure things happened between conquerors and conquered, those offspring are unlikely to be "legitimate."
That said, Viamont is still just over the mountains, so its not like an Aluvian and a Viamont might never meet.
What distinguishes aluvians from viamonts? skin color? size? or just language?
Genetically, as much as distinguishes a Scotsman from a Venetian. (Probably less, actually, due to their geographic proximity on Ispar.)
