I have a question - and in no way am I attempting to make light or belittle any of this, but... did you find inspiration for the Tha'alani in your experiences (and understandings) with Daniel?
Not directly, no. Which is to say, they'd be the opposite condition: what if everyone really did, from the moment of your birth, know everything you were thinking and everything that was happening to you?
But I don't think you can ever entirely separate life experiences from writing on a subconscious level; everything goes in.
