The Recent man rune talk ponders what the "MAN" is and who has it. IMHO it represents "Mortality", not man, thus, Elves, Troll, Men, and Ducks, etc, have some link (animals also dying makes it hard, perhaps grandpa animal snuffed it too!?), but Dragonnewts and mostali are not men, and are not mortal (thus no diseases, as per cult of malia)... but then again, isnt Mostal dead? Maybe association with Stasis or Dragonnewt runes slow aging? Maybe GF Mortal had some design features the gods decided to keep for the younger races when they were made (like how modern manufacturing involves built in redundance) just to save on costs, but Mostali and Dragonnewts were build to last! ;-)
I see this Inexorably linked to the DH idea of six parts to the spirit, the Lunar/Nysalorian/Gbajian idea of the seventh part (illumination), and an as yet unknow part, the greatest part to come, a white moon secret! (like, Deep Thoughs 'The Earth' ;-)
Nuff said!
