Numbers : I wasnt arguing the Lunars had more soldiers, I was arguing the ones they had were more effective than the farmers/soldiers of the Orlanthi.
Regimental Spirits : This is my idea of how things would work - sort of a magical expression of espirit de corps. Whether it does work this way is up to an individual GM. And I dont accept that Argrath existed anyway :)
Lunar Heroes : I was probably using the word "hero" a little too loosely. More precisely, I was describing the way the Lunars train their operatives ? apparatchiks ? special agents ? whatever. The guys who beat up the ice spirits, assasinate Belintar and do stuff like that. And I think 10 is a reasonable age to start training - look at how early sports talent scouts pick out their kids for feeding into the maw of the AIS and other sports institutes.
Eel family : Great concept ... I can imagine heroquests into the future to check out the results of breeding experiments. Shades of the Bene Gesserit ?
