 In the old books, her motivation was presumably to get rid of the Deinodons to ensure Nekenalos belonged to the Stycophysises and no one else. This goal doesn't even feature in the reimagined Terenyira, whose goals are instead to destroy Threadwielders and to protect the Nayabaru - which has the //effect// that she is decimating the kavkema, but this is merely an accident of implementation. In the old books, her motivation was presumably to get rid of the Deinodons to ensure Nekenalos belonged to the Stycophysises and no one else.

   * **Terenyira** is the primary antagonist. She's been given an actual motivation now - the deep, gnawing hunger she feels is a recent invention. Her cunning nature is not new, though, but a greater intellectual experience on part of the author has certainly given her much more of an edge than before.   * **Terenyira** is the primary antagonist.

They're still secular, they're still interested in science, and they're still known to torture kavkema.   * The Nayabaru are still the dominant faction on Nekenalos.
