One particular interest is the potential of the ongoing conflict between the humans of this region. After all, you fared much better against them than the Atlanteans... or at least their king. Making greater waves on land than at sea, how ironic.
<span class="mu-b">"...so your father was royalty as well, but there are other types of royalty than Emir, even just among your people... and then the Opuertans have their own royalty different from that?"</span>

Eugh, this is giving you a headache! These humans are so complicated, and always have to do things the hard way! You prefer your home ocean, what ever happened to just chieftains? Shamans too, for Faysal is able to explain at great length the religious system of his people, and their one God. It seems in this times, more than just Faysal's people too, clergy hold similar status as nobility so some things have changed in that regard from your time.
To you it stands in your way, these opposing faiths, but it is not as if they cannot be overcome. Fear is your usual method, but if you can promise or offer more, or better than these rival faiths... well, humans are fickle and tend to turn to whichever fate is the most appealing, eventually. Certainly though it seems some religions may be easier to deal with for yourself, than others. For example by the faith of the Opuertans, Emil's people as you remember them. While they too have a one God, other gods are merely treated as lesser rather than false or rejected outright, so you could travel among Emil's lands and still find faith in "lesser" gods... which means you too could establish a presence without being utterly rejected.
