They are currently planning a trek into Ralios, and boy are they going to
be miffed when they encounter the Western Heretics and find that they
ASSOCIATE with "trickster birds".
I thought of the Raven as the Scout of Humath, who first found Death
for him - and as a presage of him becoming Trickster, or perhaps he
everywhere IS the Trickster, I envisage him as wise-cracking and
sarcastic, the down-to-earth counterpart to Humath's honour and
serene attittude, the Falstaff to Humath's Henry iV (? forgot his
number).
I also tend to view the Sartarite Humakt as emotionless, the Ralian Humath as far less so (he's still as the storms, though moodier than his brothers).
ZZZ:
One thing about Zorak Zorani Zombies: according to one description I
read, part of the Great Troll experiment to battle the Trollkin Curse
was to mate female Darktrolls with the living dead warriors of Zorak
Zoran. A type of undead which can MATE (even during ritual
circumstances) - yowsie!
I actually like the concept, but it might be very Gregged now...
Look for a treatment of the idea in the coming installments of Erik's Undead (delayed because the writer is too tired due to RW work, just like the end of the story "The Gifts of the Lady"). And BTW, thanks to those who liked it.
