You are welcome! Do you have any thoughts about these exchanges of letters between the khans if I may ask? They were rather colloquial I would say.

Sure, that could work too. It's very fluid after all, no exact date. Same as the slow decline of the Western Roman Empire is quite fluid

Vancouver Island in BC had the same setup on the West coast to save shipwreck survivors. Shelters every five miles as well as a telegraph line. It's a very popular hiking 75km(47mi) trail now.

festooned is in the same category as smithereen.

epic and criminally underutilized.

what exactly is a smithereen anyway?

I'm just making a pragmatic counter point against the poster saying that the lives of the common people were meaningless. Obviously, people were more than just economic resources.
