Not a surprise, I suppose. It's quite easy to be mad within a lawful society, and quite difficult to be mad in a lawless one. One can still accomplish it, but it takes rather a lot of effort.

[ Anyway - ]

Something that is important to know about madmen is that no two look exactly alike. There's a common image, of course, of a raving lunatic - and there are a few madmen who are like that, I'll grant; my great-aunt Polina, for example, always swathed herself in velvet because she believed she was made of glass and needed to be protected from shattering. Classic. But many other types of madness are...quiet. Subtle. You don't see them until Riftwatch has already been thoroughly fucked over.
