Line 27:
*[[Fantastic Racism]]: The Alori. The humans in many ways admire them but the Alori cannot accept the legitimacy of technological culture. The idea that humans love starships and cities and independance enough to fight for it when they could have flowers and trees is incomprehensible to them.
*[[Generican Empire]]: The Nomads have no other name but Nomads.
*[[Going Native]]: Trevelan joins the Nomads because he is attracted to their culture and because his wife is there. He also muses that more Cordies will intermarry with Nomads and that might not be such a bad thing as they could help each other.
*[[Grey And Gray Morality]]: Both parties retain some sympathy and while the Alori are the aggressors they are also trying to protect themselves from relentlessly expansionist humans.
*[[The Heart]]: Ilaloa is a subversion. While her affection is attractive and her love of nature infectious, a heart must teach or encourage his or her comrades and in the end she has only so much to teach humans who cannot live as she does, and [[Fatal Flaw|she cannot really understand]] why humans love their own creations as well as loving nature.
