I take it that you haven't read
Renegade's Magic yet? I've just started reading it and by about chapter fifteen, you'll notice that Nevare is describing the Specks in a completely different way

In fact, he admits to the fact that he'd been thinking of the Specks as uncivilized savages and had never considered the fact that they might have a completely different culture and civilization than the Gernians ... In fact,
Renegade's Magic seems to be a much better book than
Forest Mage. It's definitely not as annoying as
Forest Mage but it's still slow - I'm almost halfway through the book and nothing much of importance has happened yet
