No way! He was male. Note the evidences: no significant descendants, he was an adventurer, and he risked himself in the front line of combat.
Only troll females found dynasties. Females almost never adventure. Females are too valuable to be in the front line of combat. Once Gerak Kag had captured part of Pavis, THEN the females followed up,to take over his possession, cast their spell to seal off the city, and have him serve them. Maybe he even got to have sex with some of them.

Only one tribe will graze in a given region. Nobody would graze their beasts intermingled with an enemy's, unless there was some kind of truce going on. But the beasts in Prax normally eat in different _types_ of areas. High Llamas in the hills, Morocanth in the marshes, etc. Of course, the animals don't stay exclusively in their best areas -- they wander around, but since the Wastes haven't yet reached maximum carrying capacity, there's usually room to find a spare empty berth.

>If you were dead, which would _you_ wish your KL priestess had? ;)
If I were dead, why would I care? I'd be an ancestor bound to her fetch, probably, or else I'd be in Wonderhome. My KL priestess is way better than a Chalana Arroy priestess, because the useless CA whitemeat can't fight or support me in combat or send attack spirits or control shades or ANYTHING! Sure, if I get killed, she's better at bringing me back, but I'm a lot likelier to GET killed if she's my magic support as opposed to KL. Screw that nonsense.
Look: match a KL priestess against a CA priestess and tell me who wins? If you say that's not fair, then match 10 KL priestesses vs. 5 Storm Voices and 5 CA whitemeat and tell me who wins. I bet it's KL again. And among trolls, raw power always counts.

>Are Duck Young born live, or born in eggs?
They HAVE to be laid in eggs. The many chances for humor this allows is just too great for words. Eggs in diapers, being rolled around in baby carriages, being adored and chucked under the "chin" by besotted great-aunts.
>do they REALLY have teeth, so as to chomp those cigars?
At least some do.
>What is Duck societal structure, child-rearing practices, etc?
It is generally imitative of human practices. No pure-duck society exists in Genertela that I know of -- all are heavily human-oriented. Not that _ducks_ are like humans, only that their societies and cultures are best-seen as caricatures or imitations of humans.
This is true of the keets, too.
>(A potential player brought this up because he may be playing a duck PC.

This is a powerful argument for egg-laying amongst ducks.

You're not going to believe this, but I forgot all about Illumination
