Apparently I do.

I don't know about you but IMG Magisaurs and Newtlings are seperate species.
>Dragonewts are born of immature Dragon Eggs laid by immature Dragons.
>This is their very nature. Why would they be draconized newtlings?
That's what their mythology *says*. But it notably fails to explain why newtlings, a non-draconic species, are considered cousins to the Dragonewts. Why do the Dragonewts make slaves of Newtlings? Why do Dragonewts send embassies to Newtling enclaves (like the Five Eyes Temple)?

Er, Umath *is* Storm according to the monomyth but never mind...
>What do you mean about the "Old Days"?
Days before the Great darkness. Refer back to the debate two or three months ago about whether time existed before the Dawn.

In the Ivory Pages edition of the GRAY, there is reference to how Umatum, a planet, circles inwards and disturbs the orbits of various other planets (some which drop like stones, others go flying off the ends of the earth etc) before being cast down by Shargash. IMO the current stars of Orlanth's ring are the shattered fragments of the original planet Umatum.
