I agree in wishing King Isketerol was...Kaor, Paul!<br /><br />I agree in wishing King Isketerol was not the ally of William Walker. But I don't see what else he could have done. After all, with Walker's assistance and knowlege, Isketerol made himself King of Tartessos. To say nothing of becoming his blood brother.<br /><br />I think Isketerol's biggest mistake was not trying harder to stay at peace with Nantucket, at least long enough for the New Learning to spread more widely among his people and take root. On the other hand, it's pretty plain Nantucket WOULD go to war with Tartessos, because the only way to really get to grips with Walker was by reaching Great Achaea thru Gibraltar. Still, it was a mistake to attack Nantucket. <br /><br />Sean<br />Sean M. Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13973738112230622557noreply@blogger.com
