I always thought Keiser was his family name or something. And I'd guess those guys are some kind of royal or elite guards, not the usual bunch of grunts. Anyway, being so unwelcome in your own homeland must be tough.
Keiser certainly seems to be Keith's family name.

Remember Keith back in the day? I'll bet not all of that was from his own personal experience.

Anti-Keidran sentiment is probably remarkably common among the Basitin for a few reasons. One is that they're a proud race, convinced of their superiority (like elves, for instance). Another is that they resemble the Keidran, something that grates on their psyche, so they do whatever they can to separate themselves from those "animals." They have an incredibly restrained culture. It looks like the separation of the sexes didn't end up panning out, as was originally suggested for the Basitin, but they are still not the sort of culture where affection is displayed in public. Everything is organized and in its place.
