I didn't mean to suggest they sound like bad stories, just that the subject matter doesn't seem to be address any sort of burning question or premise. The thing with "One is a nominal pacifist [and "nominal" is right, by the way; the historical revisionism that whitewashes the lamas has bugged me since college] and the other a minor footnote in the history of warfare" doesn't sound like much to me. If these are meant to launch a more substantive universe, we might wish they'd been more relevant. Though of course I'm just basing that on the info available right here.
