When you have a dream, cause and effect can get jumbled. Your dream self might know something it shouldn't or events might occur with a specific goal in mind instead of the natural semi random way. Share this dream with multiple people, and you start checking each others' work.
I think the cultural consciousness of the Fayth agreed upon some important bits of their experiences- a blitzball game, a house fire, a mayoral election. And then subconsciously filled in the gaps from there. Each person in the gagazet fayth contains memories of dozens of people they knew throughout their life times. They might not know every inner working of their friends and families lives but between hundreds of people making guesses, you can get convincing facsimiles. They just know that in order for there to be a blitzball game there must be a team that must have players that must have grown up that must have eaten to live
A simpler example- several aeons have hair. This hair moves across their bodies and blows in the wind. The Fayth probably isn't directing every strand individually, it's just being effected by the environment. The Zanarkand aeon is just a lot of hair

From The Two Towers - Chapter II: The Riders of Rohan
Only Legolas still slept lightly as ever, his feet hardly seeming to press on the grass. Leaving no footprints as he passed; but in the waybread of the Elves he found all the sustenance that he needed, and he could sleep, if sleep it could be called by Men, resting his mind in the strange paths of elvish dreams, even as he walked open-eyed in the light of this world.
From The Two Towers - Chapter V: The White Rider
With that he fell asleep. Legolas already lay motionless, his fair hands folded upon his breast, his eyes unclosed, blending living night and deep dream, as is the way with Elves.

In nearly all of their literary manifestations, Elves are described as being a “Dying Race,” in inevitable decline or exceedingly low population. According to this tradition, the Elves represent the best of the world, but they are extremely vulnerable and prone to extinction.
But again you will ask, what does this have to do with the idea of White fragility? White fragility is a very similar dynamic to what we call Fragile Masculinity – when a person with social privilege is confronted with accusations of racism or racial insensitivity, they will frequently lash out, emotionally shut down, or refuse to engage in reasoned discussion. Even passive feelings of defensiveness are manifestations of this phenomenon.
This defensiveness happens when something we (consciously or not) consider to be of exceptional importance to our sense of reality is called into question (I say we because I myself am White and I am in no way exempt from this cultural conditioning, and I expect many of my readers will also be White). Whiteness is deeply reliant on these unquestionable assumptions in order to construct itself. And one of the defining traits of Whiteness is its obsession with its own vulnerability.
Elves, as imagined in most modern high fantasy literature, map almost perfectly onto this model. It is no accident that the Elves of high culture, of magnificent wisdom, of immense grace and power, are nearly always portrayed as light-skinned. It is also no coincidence that Elves are the classic example of the “Dying Race.” These tropes exist because of the explicit and subconscious understanding that this is the situation of the so-called White Race. White Supremacists have for centuries raised the specter of a hypothetical White extinction in order to galvanize repression of people of color worldwide. You can see it today when politicians and pundits talk about the declining birth rate among White people in the United States and Europe, immigration fears, and the idea that the United States will soon no longer be majority White. This is presented as something to be dreaded, the loss of something essential to society. Exactly the same rhetoric was behind anti-miscegenation laws and continued bigotry against interracial couples.
This is the way the ideology of White Supremacy operates – it hides in plain sight in popular culture, its very pervasiveness rendering it invisible to the untrained eye. Its unquestioned presence in our society leads us to accept it as simply the Way Things Are. White people, reflected in the literary creations the Elves, have convinced ourselves on some level that we are at the same time superior to people of color but also on the brink of total destruction. This is the core assumption and worldview that White people are falling back on when we react defensively to discussions about racial injustice and racism. And we need to fight it.
Acknowledging the problem is the first step. White readers, always be alert for the ways these tropes are playing out in the words and images you absorb each day. Think critically about the stories you grew up with and how they shaped the way you understand the world. Remember that one of the universal literary flaws of the Elves is their pride and arrogance, and let humility guide the way you approach discussions about race. Those small steps alone will help us to begin to resist the White fragility we have had ingrained into us from early childhood.
Author’s note: I chose to capitalize the word “White” because of some advice I received years ago – capitalizing racial terms emphasizes the fact of their existence *as racial terms*, forcing people to confront the discomfort that induces.

Anglo-Saxonism
edit
Kingsley was a fervent Anglo-Saxonist,[18] and was seen as a major proponent of the ideology, particularly in the 1840s.[19] He proposed that the English people were "essentially a Teutonic race, blood-kin to the Germans, Dutch, Scandinavians".[20] Kingsley suggested there was a "strong Norse element in Teutonism and Anglo-Saxonism".
Mixing mythology and Christianity, he blended Protestantism as it was practised at the time with the Old Norse religion, saying that the Church of England was "wonderfully and mysteriously fitted for the souls of a free Norse-Saxon race". He believed the ancestors of Anglo-Saxons, Norse and Germanic peoples had physically fought beside the god Odin, and that the British monarchy was genetically descended from the god.[21]
Dislike of the Irish
edit
Kingsley has been accused of intensely antagonistic views of the Irish,[16] whom he described in derogatory terms.[22][23]
Visiting County Sligo in Ireland, he wrote a letter to his wife from Markree Castle in 1860: "I am haunted by the human chimpanzees I saw along that hundred miles of horrible country [Ireland]... [for] to see white chimpanzees is dreadful; if they were black, one would not see it so much, but their skins, except where tanned by exposure, are as white as ours."[24][25]

It's worth noting that this phenomenon was broadly present throughout Europe. As nation-states
tried to more sharply define national identity during the 19th century they frequently pulled deep from their history to do so (to an extent of misrepresenting or even fictionalizing it). So the French for instance would more heavily pull on their "Gaelic" heritage and subsequent romanization despite the "Franks" themselves being essentially a more recent splinter from the main Germanic group.
In that context references to an "Anglo-Saxon" heritage was simultaneously a way to differentiate Britain from the mainland and their upper classes Norman heritage
as well as reinforce English supremacy amongst their Celtic subjects (Ireland, Scotland, Wales).

I don’t think it has as much to do with actual ethnic heritage as it did with class and racial struggles between established, ethnically English persons in places like Boston and New York during the waves of immigration in the 19th and early 20th centuries. WASP became a pejorative for the image of wealthy, ascot-wearing people who were legacies at Ivy League universities because their families built their wealth in the 1830s and summered in posh places while the lower classes worked in factories.

Anglo-Saxon is still used as a term for the original Old English-derived vocabulary within the modern English language, in contrast to vocabulary derived from Old Norse and French. In the 19th century, the term Anglo-Saxon was broadly used in philology, and is sometimes so used at present, though the term 'Old English' is more commonly used for the language.
Throughout the history of Anglo-Saxon studies, different historical narratives about the post Roman people of Britain and Ireland have been used to justify contemporary ideologies. In the early Middle Ages, the views of Geoffrey of Monmouth, best known for Historia Regum Britanniae which helped popularise the legend of King Arthur, produced a personally inspired (and largely fictitious) history that was not challenged for some 500 years.[225] In the Reformation, Christians looking to establish an independent English church reinterpreted Anglo-Saxon Christianity.[citation needed]
During the Victorian era, writers such as Robert Knox, James Anthony Froude, Charles Kingsley and Edward A. Freeman used the term Anglo-Saxon to justify colonialistic imperialism, claiming that Anglo-Saxon heritage was superior to those held by colonised peoples, which justified efforts to "civilise" them.[226][227] Similar racist ideas were advocated in the 19th-century United States by Samuel George Morton and George Fitzhugh.[228] The historian Catherine Hills contends that these views have influenced how versions of early English history are embedded in the sub-conscious of certain people and are "re-emerging in school textbooks and television programmes and still very congenial to some strands of political thinking."[229]
The term Anglo-Saxon is sometimes used to refer to a broader group of peoples descended or associated in some way with the English ethnic group, in ways which go beyond language, and often involve ideas about religion. In contemporary Anglophone cultures outside Britain for example, "Anglo-Saxon" ancestry and culture is sometimes contrasted with Irish ancestry and culture, which was once subject to negative stereotyping and bigotry. "White Anglo-Saxon Protestant" (WASP) is a derogatory term especially popular in the United States that refers chiefly to long-established wealthy families with mostly English, but also sometimes Scottish, Dutch or German ancestors. As such, WASP is not a historical label or a precise ethnological term but rather a reference to contemporary family-based political, financial and cultural power, e.g. The Boston Brahmin.
The term Anglo-Saxon is becoming increasingly controversial among some scholars, especially those in America, for its modern politicised nature and adoption by the far-right. In 2019, the International Society of Anglo-Saxonists changed their name to the International Society for the Study of Early Medieval England, in recognition of this controversy.[230]
The Russian government under Vladimir Putin and Russian state-run media often use "Anglo-Saxon" as a derogatory term referring to English-speaking countries, particularly the United States and United Kingdom.[231][232][233] According to the BBC, the UK and US are especially referred to by the term because they are perceived as "particularly die-hard adversaries of Russia."[234]

Thanks to British mangling of things, even Pakistan had a secret gen*c*de really because of the population transfer, which changed the demographics very drastically and introduced a foreign population to the Indus region that had similar ethnic groups that were related but forced to move away into India, the whole thing would start to make the original people there a minority, it was totally a genocide that no one talks about because of the way it occurred, but any mass population replacement, especially in an extremely short period of time, is that.

The United Nations first defined genocide in 1948 in the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. The treaty outlines five acts that can constitute genocide if they are done "with the intent to destroy an ethnic, national, racial or religious group":
1. Killing members of the group
2. Causing serious bodily or mental harm
3. Deliberately inflicting conditions of life calculated to bring about the group's physical destruction in whole or in part
4. Imposing measures intended to prevent births
5. Forcibly transferring children
To qualify as genocide, the actions must be done with intent to eliminate an entire group of people. Without provable intent, a group or individual can still be guilty of "crimes against humanity" or "ethnic cleansing" but not genocide.
Tribunals have historically struggled to establish a legal standard for genocidal intent. Few perpetrators, with the notable exception of the Nazi regime, have left explicit plans detailing their intentions to eradicate groups.
"
"
The first person found guilty of genocide was the former mayor of Rwanda's Taba commune in 1998. The International Genocide Tribunal on Rwanda found Jean-Paul Akayesu guilty because "he knew or should have known that the act committed would destroy, in whole or in part, a group."

The name Daʾay (also transliterated as Dai, Arabic: دأي) is mentioned in the annals of the Assyrian king Sennacherib (705–681 BCE). It refers to one of the deities whose statues were captured from the Arabian city of Dumat al-Jandal (ancient Adummatu).
According to the Assyrian inscriptions, Sennacherib launched a campaign into the northern Arabian deserts and conquered the "fortress of the Arabs" at Adummatu. He took several Arabian gods as booty and carried them off to the Assyrian capital of Nineveh. The list of captured deities included:
ʿAttaršamīn
Daʾay
Nuhay
Ruḍaw
Abīrīl
ʿAttarqurumā
The statues of some of these gods, including Daʾay, were later returned to the oasis city of Dumat al-Jandal by Sennacherib's successor, King Esarhaddon (680–669 BCE), to secure the loyalty of the local Arab population.

To qualify as genocide, the actions must be done with intent to eliminate an entire group of people. Without provable intent, a group or individual can still be guilty of "crimes against humanity" or "ethnic cleansing" but not genocide.
Tribunals have historically struggled to establish a legal standard for genocidal intent. Few perpetrators, with the notable exception of the Nazi regime, have left explicit plans detailing their intentions to eradicate groups.

The first person found guilty of genocide was the former mayor of Rwanda's Taba commune in 1998. The International Genocide Tribunal on Rwanda found Jean-Paul Akayesu guilty because "he knew or should have known that the act committed would destroy, in whole or in part, a group."

The name Daʾay (also transliterated as Dai, Arabic: دأي) is mentioned in the annals of the Assyrian king Sennacherib (705–681 BCE). It refers to one of the deities whose statues were captured from the Arabian city of Dumat al-Jandal (ancient Adummatu).
According to the Assyrian inscriptions, Sennacherib launched a campaign into the northern Arabian deserts and conquered the "fortress of the Arabs" at Adummatu. He took several Arabian gods as booty and carried them off to the Assyrian capital of Nineveh. The list of captured deities included:
ʿAttaršamīn
Daʾay
Nuhay
Ruḍaw
Abīrīl
ʿAttarqurumā
The statues of some of these gods, including Daʾay, were later returned to the oasis city of Dumat al-Jandal by Sennacherib's successor, King Esarhaddon (680–669 BCE), to secure the loyalty of the local Arab population.
