Just as workable as poisoning your human capturers with salt. They taste it... and Uz smell it. And how come anyone captured by Uz has any food?-)

Oh.. I recall that Mostali _made_ iron for warfare. Also, some wargods bones were iron, if I recall it right.. they propably cheated some iron from the stupid midgets. Or offered protection or whatever. I have no idea how any ordinary human would have gotten any Iron into his blood in Glorantha, surely not from his food!

Uz blood is made of uzblood stuff. That's it. It is propably lots of darker than human blood, and I believe the veins are deeper than human veins for the extreme cold climates uz so much love. There are certainly no _metals_ innit! Otherwise every adventurer would boil an uz he just killed for the precious pieces of metal. I don't want Praxians start boiling dead trolls for metal.

Uz consist of body (eat-matta) and uzpart (soul). Soul is made of some lead, spiderweb, and darkness. Eat-matta is mostly mud and stuff like that, just better tasting. For more info, check out Trollpak. There is somekind of creation myth there, too. No metals involved.
