> SOME THOUGHTS ABOUT MALE TROLLS

VERY good, indeed. Couldn't it be said that Kygor Litor is The Troll, the Ur-model for How A Troll Should Really Be? Fits really well in with her role as "culture goddess" for the Uz.

And over to Lords of Terror again:
I hope others also have noticed the following: The race that stems from Bagog is called scorpion _men_, but (probably out of a sense of political correctness and the plain fact that the critters are matriarchal) in the Bagog writeup the word "she" is used as general personal pronoun.
This results in some really weird sentences. "If a scorpion MAN wants to do A, SHE has to...." etc.

Thus we need a general term for "scorpion man" which is FEMININE. Since there is an OBVIOUS analogy in "merman-mermaid", whe should talk about SCORPION MAIDS. (Associations to hard rock and the Little Mermaid can be pointedly ignored).

Erik Sieurin, not exactly serious, who currently has a painful stafylococ-infection in his right butt - jokes about Krashti's revenge NOT appreciated, since the damned thing begin before the milky musings.

PS. Does NO ONE know why "milk" is important to the Krashti? I'm curious, seriously. DS.
