        Well, I think your position and Mr. Cule's aren't totally incompatable; I'd figure that the duck's connection with keets is largely lost to them except in distorted legends.

        The whole EWF thing is completely and utterly new to me and really doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

         The _real_ truth about ducks of course is that they were added as sort of a joke; something to do with a friend of Greg's wanting a "Duckburg" on the Dragon Pass map.

          I'd go with Max Game Fun; ducks as an EWF creation isn't as interesting (IMHO) as such approaches as "Ducks are the Jews of Glorantha". for instance.
