I think we should make a difference between proper mostali and the
clay mostali that we are likely to see. The true mostali are a piece
of living rock or metal, without a detectable scrap of Spirit within
it, yet softened somehow by life. They can move their squat form with
remarkable grace. They are likely perfect of form, since they were
made by the Maker.
The clay mostali are likely misshapen, short, and often ugly. But
they were not made by the Maker.
