Well whatever powers the relic is the same thing as whatever powers the other relics. There will be a range hting ot which shadows he can draw and what his extensive range his. Of course his range over physical shadows is lesser than that of illusionary. Also I thought it was a nice tidbit weakness that he can't manipulate his own shadow.

Agreed, that's Shin's speciality :p Lol, seriously though, it's indeed a nice touch.
But well, what I meaning to say was; does he have to sacrifice something in order to let the relic work? For example, his stamina, some blood, the life of others or something like that.

Hey, just wondering how would foreign sailors and traders be tolerated in countries in Azukhar? Y'know, the whole 'division and distrust' thing.

That differs greatly per country. Some, like the Harrans, welcome them with open arms, while others like Da-Hyun welcome the money they bring but stand rather distrusting to the foreigners themselves (seeing how they can be potential threads or spies). If you're wondering about a specific country, you should ask the one in charge over it :) (I'm all about Harra, Da-Hyun and Idris at the moment, Kalesia is Ellri's and Bark is in charge of Oragos and Othea, though that can change over time.)
