        According to Greg, at a Lore Auction, Ducks were thrown in for comic relief.

        My personal beliefs are that the ducks have been around since the GodTime, but have lost their ties to Keets. in 'my' Glorantha, there is a tribe of trolls that tell stories about the ducks and baboons. They are friendly to the baboons, because they used to be men/tied to the Man tune. But during the GodTime they refused to help _____ the Chaos God, and were cursed into their present condition. It's the other way around for the ducks, they refused to help fight Chaos, and were cursed. This group lives far in the east of Dagori Inkarth, and every once in a while a raiding party travels far west to Duck Pond, etc, to kill a few ducks and make duck feather fans.....

        Patrik Sandberg is to be congradulated upon a very nice Orlanthi Holiday piece. But, being Kalikos retentive, I couldn't help noticing that one of the six masked Storm Voices is referred to as the IceBreaker Mask. ??? Patrick, could you please explain this? The IceBreakers are a cult that operates in the north of the Lunar Empire, and are probably little known of (if at all) in Dragon Pass..... Feel free to Email me privately if you don't want to go into arduous detail on the Digest.
