So according to that, Nords have more legitimate claim to the Reach and it possibly that Reachmen just don't want to get along with Nords. Although it seems that Nords not making it any easier, by preaty much opressing Reachmen. However, I am not sure when that opression started, making Reachmen work smelters, live in poverty. Possibly that started only after Nords took Reach back over at the end of Great War. So I am guessing, you cannot exactly say that Nords are bad to the Reahmen and that proves their prejudice. Although I am still trying to figure out weather "Children of the Sky" was a biased book, trying to show Nords as always being prejudiced, who never wanted to share kinship with their conquered people, and just opressing them. Reach was always part of Skyrim and Nords of the Reach are just as native to it as ethnic Bretons that also are native to Reach and called Reachmen.

Esentually, it's a lot like the Kosovo conflic, I don't know exactly who started it, but there is one thing I know. Albanians who fled Albania during and after World War II, were given place to live in Kosovo, by Yugoslavian leader Tito. Kosovo was always part of Serbia before hand and even was the site of battle against Ottoman Sultan. On the field of Kosovo, Serbian people wanting freedom, against all odds faced the Sultan's army. One hero of Serbs, decieved Sultan by pretending to dfect, only to get close enough to him and kill him. Ofcourse that hero died on the spot and despised Sultan being killed, Serbians still lost that battle. Albanians settled on this land, that was connected to patriotic pride of Serbs. Everything was fine and everyone seemed to be living like good neithbors. Then in 90's all hell broke loose. I am not sure if it's true that Albanians started that conflict or not, but as far as they say, they started to terrorize their Serbian neighbors. Long story short, now Albanians claim that Kosovo is part of Albania and the Albanian people that I spoke with (they actually not so bad, thinking that Russians are great and all) they say that Serbians still live in Kosovo, but it is not safe for them to come out of the houses.

Perhaps this isn't a good example, I tired to stay as unbiased as I could, but I fear that I couldn't do so entirely. I will not state my opinion of this entire Kosovo conflict as it might not be the same as of majority of people in here. Let's just say my heart goes out to fellow Slavic people. But to totaly side with one or enother, I really must know what really happened in the beginiing, who started to terrorize who? Perhaps it was just rioting at first on both side and then tention boiled over, I cannot say for certain. I will just stop talking for not, I do not wish to offend anyone here.
