How was Frieza able to recruit and effectively command such a vast and diverse army? Were any other alien groups within it purged like the Saiyans were?

It seems like Frieza's army contained many different alien groups. I've been trying to find sources that chronicle any inter-planetary tensions that may have boiled over between them and any subsequent disciplinary action taken by Zarbon or Dodoria. So far I haven't able to find any good scholarship on it.

Why are all nercomantic skeletons men (and possibly mer)? Why don't I ever see any Argonian or Khajiit skeletons?

Like any historian worth his salt, I've had to do more than a little delving into tombs, crypts, catacombs, and burial mounds when I needed to find a specific relic or tome. I think we can all agree that a minor but annoyingly common pest in our historical research are all the damn reanimated skeletons wandering around all the time. Fortunately, they're quite easy to dispatch, but they still interrupt my work all the time.

But I recently realized something odd: every skeleton I've ever seen has been from men. There may possibly have been some mer skeletons in there too; without the pointy ears, I'd have to consult an anatomist on what the differences are between man and elf bone structure. Regardless, I've never seen a skeleton with a tail indicating that they were previously Argonian or Khajiit when they were alive. In fact, I once saw a necromancer raise a skeleton from a recently slain Argonian, but the skeleton appeared to be that of a man!

So I'm turning to you, my fellow historians. In all the historical documents at our disposal, is there some reason why all skeletons are men? Are necromancers all racist for some reason?

Did mass colourblindness really effect people from before the mid 1900's? Or was the world monochrome?

Observing media recorded at that point in history, it is rendered in monochrome.

Even documentary recordings are monochrome, and as such I am forced to accept that either:

  • People were effected with mass colourblindness and thought that monochrome was a true representation of the world.
  • The world really was monochrome.

Why haven't we decisively defeated Eastasia?

Since Oceania, Eastasia, and Eurasia are of roughly equal strength (though obviously Oceania is superior to either one of them), and we've always been allied with Eurasia against Eastasia as the answers to this question clearly reaffirm, shouldn't this imbalance of power have long ago led to the destruction of Eastasia?

What were the Amyrlin's symbols of status before the Ajahs were formed?

I was told I should ask this as a new question instead of piggybacking on this thread. For those that don't want to delve into the always depressing topic of the treatment of the unfortunates that could touch saidin during the Third Age, the question is in its entirety here.

I know this is a strange follow up question based off of the Breaking and the Tower, but would you mind answering something that I don't have the sources for? I assume you have access to some of the Depositories at the Tower, I rarely have the time to return there and I am mostly using the Library at the Academy of the Rose, but there is nothing here about what the first Amyrlins wore as their symbols before the forming of the Ajahs. I know that the source material might have been destroyed during the initial raid at the start of Tarmon Gai'don that effected the city, but you would think the Queen would have had more copies sent from the Tower.

How could Scrooge McDuck have maintained his extraordinary wealth from the 1940s onward without destabilizing the entire world's economy?

A net worth of one multiplujillion, nine obsquatumatillion, six hundred twenty-three dollars and sixty-two cents would totally outstrip the entire world's GDP combined, and yet most economies managed to maintain at least some sort of coherence. Scrooge only appeared on the scene with his untold wealth in 1947; was the Marshall Plan simply that powerful? Are there other worlds contributing to the human economy that we might not know about? Or are accounts of McDuck's wealth exaggerated?

Evidence for the Historical Aslan?

We are less than a week away from the day the Old Narnians celebrated as the breaking of the Stone Table, so the question seemed fitting. Is there any evidence for a real, historical Aslan? If so, why are their no records in Calormen or the records brought from Telmar? And what of the so-called "Long winter"? What do you think of claims that Aslan's death and ressurection are merely tacked on to a preexisting springtime festival-with the end of the Long Winter being a mythologized version of ordinary yearly spring?
