Sought to penetrate THEIR defenses? Fallowmark couldn't even escape from Vera's defenses(lol!)!
Seriously, though: your depiction of the Piconoreans' socio-political dichotomy is quite well done. Ultra-conservative religious fanatics vs. radical rationalists. And, each just as militaristic as the other. Very plausibly rendered!

Thanks! I knew if I ever did a Gullivera story, I'd want some Jonathan Swift style satire in it. That often seems to get left out of these Gulliver-inspired stories.

Hey this chapter was really interesting. It reminded me of the voyage of James Cook to the island of Hawai'i. The people he met saw him as a great figure and his arrival coincided with the Makahiki, a Hawaiian harvest festival of worship for the Polynesian god Lono and some of the Hawaiians believe him to be the god Lono because of how he arrived at the island.
Perhaps you subconciously based this scenario on that bit of history?
Author's Response:
Well, not that speficially, as I hadn't heard that story. But there are other tales in which someone is thought of as a god by the locals. Glad you enjoyed this in any case.
