However, the Waertagi never used sails of any type -- they did not depend on the air. The modern Waertagi, isolated on their little islands, may have taken to use of sailing boats on occasion, but certainly not the old style, now sadly returning.

Bleah. The military style of social organization is _so_ incredibly dull and predictable. I use it for cultures only as a source of last resort. I picture the Waertagi ships as floating towns, full of squabbling fishwives, grizzled sailors, naked children, etc.

My money's on the East Isles, who were able to keep sailing during the Closing, and who have excellent light ships. Fonrit's good, though. Maybe not as good as the Marthino folks.

1. Could a peckish dark troll gobble down a microgorp and live?
Sure. He might need to take a seltzer afterwards.
2. Who do ducks primarily worship?
Ducks worship the gods of the humans around them.
>Do ducks use any form of feather tatooing or beak engraving?
Depends on the duck. "Feather tattooing"? They might dye their feathers, I suppose.
>3. What do ducks eat?
The same stuff as humans, except a greater emphasis on aquatic vegetation and seafood.

He is Beat-Pot Aelwrin. His story is long.

The llamas aren't blue. The clan are the "Blue Llamas". Unless I'm misunderstanding the reference.
>6. One question. Morokanths - why?
They are the Master Race.
