' Wrote:Hm, by this story, Nomads have declared Artifacts as contraband..
Which means, if Artifacts are still contraband.. Nomads are still controlling some people in certain houses.
At least that's the way I see it.
Faulty logic here. Artifacts were declared as contraband during infestation for reason the Nomads wanted to get ahold of the key and stop spreading their devices. Artifacts were declared contraband afterwards because they are dangerous and hold great scientific importance, not something you would turn into fancy trinkets laying on your shelf for personal enjoyment.
Same result but different reasons.
p.s. Nomads do have control of certain figures in houses around. Would be naive to think that every human is pure.
