I figured that Sinbad could eavesdrop on Kougyoku, but mind-controll? I really didn't see that coming.

Neither did I see the nature of the Fanalis, but compared to Kougyoku and Sinbad, that's a mere curiosity for the time being, though it explains this ultra-sonic shout (or whatever it was that she used to scare animals) that Morgianna used a few times.

Though it makes me wonder... were the Fanalis Humans who were imbued with beast-like features, or beast imbued with Human-like features... or maybe a magical crossbreed with roots in both species (yuck for mad magical experiments)? Either way I'm believing more than ever that the Great Rift is where Arma Toran used to be, before it was destroyed and that the Fanalis were created during that war to bolster the armies of one of the factions. With the magical beings that Al Sarmen employed so far (like the three that Alibaba and Morgianna killed in Balbadd), I'm tending more to Solomon's side.

Also, yay for speculating and theories! Go right ahead :)
