As Rare as Duck Eggs....

Sorry, but the idea of the egg laying duck has firmly been put to rest.

The Durulz (and their eastern relatives the Keets) all give birth to live young. Have since just before the Dawning. The Durulz say this is due to a terrible curse some bugger of a god or other laid on them that simultaneously took away their power of flight. The Keet say it was due to their generous sacrifice of the power of flight to aid the Dawning and the seperation of Dream from Reality.

The Durulz are mostly Orlanthi AFAIK and are frequently devoted to Humakt, a god with a serious outlook on life. This fact may amuse you but don't let that show if you want to get away without getting a shortsword through your kneecaps. In My Glorantha they lost contact with their ancestral gods at the Dawning and the Keets have been partially converted to pseudo-Western ways due to the missionary work of the Good Sorcerer.

I don't know about teeth. Never thought of it. I'm sure you can grip a cigar in your teeth though.
