	Other than differences in appearance, Samaran physiology was almost equivalent to that of Hyperien humans. They had the ~~exactly~~ same organ functions, biological cycles, and even suffered the same ill effects for nutritional unbalance.		Other than differences in appearance, Samaran physiology was almost equivalent to that of Hyperien humans. They had the same organ functions, similar biological cycles, and even suffered the same ill effects for nutritional unbalance.

	The only major difference lay in their blood, as the crystal-clear Samaran 'fluid of life' was known for its healing properties. It could close wounds under a minute and chase away all but the worst of diseases within a day. Furthermore, their blood enhanced healing magic, could be transfused into any humanoid race without rejection, and put a gradual stop to bleeding when applied to another's wound.

	Kaede knew that history was abundant with cases where the agents of nobles bribed or blackmailed servants into carrying out their dirty schemes.
