    • This is an aspect of imperial history that historians such as Tanja Bührer are keen to analyse.
    • It demonstrates that imperial relationships are not simply static interactions between colonisers and the colonised.
    • Fordola Lupis is an antagonist in the story who serves the Garlean Empire after her home nation, Ala Mhigo, is annexed.
