why does nobody talk about this:
"I was most disturbed by the experiments taking place behind the red-lacquered doors of the Corporalki anatomy rooms, where they were collaborating with the Fabrikators to try to fuse Grisha steel with human bone [...] But the process was painful and imperfect, and often, the metal was simply rejected by the subjects body." -page 298 of Siege and Storm
I've never seen anybody mention this before. how come when in the KOS duology, when they are dealing with the khergud, NOBODY MENTIONS THAT RAVKA TRIED TO MAKE THEM FIRST.
Obviously a khergud can only be created by a Fabrikator using parem, but parem hadnt been created in Siege and Storm, so they didnt even know that it was possible and they tried anyways (and in this scenario thats not a good thing)
the paragraph where they mention this goes on to say the subjects are First Army "volunteers" so my thought is this: what if they arent volunteers? what if Ravka did exactly what Shu Han did, only earlier and less successful? we're all judging Shu Han for creating the khergud program, but Ravka tried to do the exact. same. thing.
