** General Bell is a Crescian nationalist... who wants to abolish most of Cresce's core cultural values to replace them with Alderode's. He's also a religious fundamentalist... who wants to convert his country a different sect, again one favored by Alderode. He's incredibly ruthless and willing to commit atrocities for his cause, yet acts disgusted by Queen Sonorie's own ruthlessness. Toma sums it up well when they finally confront each other: Bell is ultimately loyal only to himself and his own lust for power, and he's willing to change his principles on a dime to get it.

** Cresce is an honest-to-Twins communist state with social equality--but the people living there have no autonomy, the whole system only works because the two-toe lizards are forced to take the worst jobs that humans don't want to do and are one degree away from slaves, and the minority religion's members are ruthlessly hunted down and killed. They also practice the ritual sacrifice and cannibalism of twins (well one of the twins, the other is expected to spend the rest of their life as clergy) which horrifies people from Alderode, who believe the body is sacred and should be burned after death to be spared any indignities.
** Everyone hates the two-toed lizards. Everyone. [[spoiler:At least one said lizard decides to fight back, but since everyone is indirectly responsible for the current state of the two-toes, he just starts killing everybody.]]

practice the ritual sacrifice and cannibalism cannibalization of twins (well one of the twins, believing that twins are beloved by the other Gefendur gods, and that the sacrificed twin is expected to spend freed from the endless cycle of reincarnation, staying at the gods' sides. The surviving twin spends the rest of their life as clergy) which horrifies people a member of the clergy, taking care of other twin children until their turn comes at adulthood in shrines separate from Alderode, who believe society. The Ssaelists of Alderode find this practice abhorent and whenever they give birth to twins, they do everything they can to make the body is sacred and should be burned after death twins appear not to be spared any indignities.
out of the belief that Gefendur believers will steal the children away to be taken to a shrine, a belief that may or may not be Ssaelist propoganda.
** Everyone hates the two-toed lizards. Everyone. Aldrode doesn't basically enslave them like the Cresians do, but that's likely largely due to the absence of Two-Toe population in Aldeorde.
