The Haighlei are not inferior in any respect. One of the things I really value about Misty Lackey’s work is the tolerance and acceptance. These ‘strange black people’ come from a flourishing empire, a kind of mishmash of African and Indian traditions, and there’s cultural confusion between them without either culture coming off as superior. Amberdrake, Skan and their mates sail to the closest Haighlei capital to treat with the empire. So far south in fact that the ‘Black Kings’, the Haighlei Empire, comes calling, demanding to know what the refugees are doing on THEIR land. The Kaled’a’in and gryphons/other intelligent nonhumans have set up a new city far to the south named White Gryphon. The White Gryphon continues Amberdrake and Skandranon’s story after the Cataclysm in The Black Gryphon.
