This writing is so clever is that the more they explain about Abroad, the more we still don't know. The way Belfry speaks here, the Taint seems to be more spiritual than physical. But, maybe it's not. It could still be something like plague or radiation. Or maybe it's all of the above.

How do you keep them down on the farm after they see the city. Letting some technology seep in is one thing, letting people visit "Abroad" is another. Not letting them come back prevents a technology flood that could swamp their nascent society.

Hmmm indeed, now i'm only more curious. I wonder if "Abroad" is a more modernized world than Silver Sage... Lovely page as always! Poor Tam :'(
