I'm glad someone is! I actually wanted this thread picked up more than the troll one, because there is a time constraint here.

I don't think the link is as simple as that. Hyena is, in a God Learner sense, actually a mnifestation of the Fool aspect. But Devourer is also there. I think that perhaps the role of devouring Genert's body was the original, and that later other trickster aspects developed naturally from his position outside society?

I think that this was originally the capital of the Monkey Empire (whatever THAT was), but that it burned to the ground in the Godtime when Oakfed landed on it after falling from the sky.

Couldn't the ubiquitous hyenae fill this role?
