SPOILER WARNING: The Last Shadow plot details follow.


"Deliberate Dispersals" was a monograph about sending the Keas, Ravens, and Yachachiyruna of Nest to the Lusitanian Colonies after The Folk turned against them with a biological weapon. It was written by Valentine Wiggin under her Demosthenes persona to be disseminated among the Hundred Worlds.[1]

History[]

Valentine, under her pseudonym of Demosthenes, compiled documents to create "Deliberate Dispersals" around 6 months after the Leguminids arrived on Lusitania in 3180 AX. Briefly after the Folk attacked the Lusitanians who visited them on Nest, the Raven Dog and the Hive Queen of Shakespeare discussed the possibility of sending their species to the Lusitanian Colonies to avoid extinction, and the conversation was later cited by Valentine. After the Descolada project reached its close, Jane asked Plikt and Valentine to write monographs that included accounts of the work of the Ribeira family and the Leguminids. Jane was never mentioned; nor was Detouring; and no account mentioned Nest.[1]
