I like the duck especially.

If the discussion has not now gone past me, you can post the following

That is in fact exactly true, to an extent. There was a The Arkat, even
as
there is a The Argrath. But, like Argrath, many of the actions of
Arkat's
companions later come to be attributed to him. We know that Arkat had
six
such close companions, called (in Troll Gods) Arkat's Six.
(Detail-minded
readers will note that the list given in Troll Gods of Arkat's Six
mentions
seven distinct individuals!)
>From various sources, I believe that Arkat's Six is a changing group -- his
Six at the beginning are not the same as his Six at the end, in
Dorastor.
Can't comment on the former, but it seems likely to me that his final
Six
include a Brithini, a Hrestoli, an Orlanthi, a Humakti, a Troll, and one
other (IMO, a duck, but that is just me). We know that the Brithini is
probably Seralos Deguys, the troll is Kwaratch Kang, and the Humakti is
Makla Mann. I might be able to dredge up some unpublished sources that
name
the Slontan Orlanthi and the Hrestoli, I just have to remember where I
have
them.

I have long thought that a campaign set in the early 300s, eventually culminating in the Gbaji Wars, wouuld be even more fun than a game set right before the Hero Wars.
