I know I'm not the most perceptive of readers. Sometimes I have to reread something a couple of times before I grasp the hidden meaning behind things. Combine this with Bakkers ability to hide meaning behind words and you have me absolutely loving his books but not understanding everything the depth of things the first time round. So, having said that it's entirely possible that I just missed the explanation for this if it was in the books. (I'm also rereading, so yay for that.)
My query is simple: The Nonmen have been around for so long that they lose their memories of things that aren't marked by trauma and emotional agony. Why do the Inchoroi, who are significantly older (as far as I understand) not likewise lose their minds?
Or is it that they already have and are driven by the memory and knowledge of damnation - the most traumatic thing of all?
