Hi Guys, I was thinking in the shower this morning [horrors] about Ducks and what a good name "The Golden Orb" would be for a Duckpak, were one ever to be published. That sparked me to wondering whether in the Gods Age Duck eggs [and those of other birds] were in fact perfect spheres that took on their present shape after Yelm was slain? Also, during the darkness were egg yolks still a golden yellow? Surely this is the Sun's influence. And perhaps the Ducks/Keets gave up their wings voluntarily to fight against darkness/chaos. [Which explains why their are regular ducks as well as sentient ones]. Some ducks later offended Yelm and were cursed to bear live young...others [the Keets?] still lay eggs. I can't remember if this fits properly with the myths already presented [my brain is still a bit soggy...]. I may have mixed things up a bit...or these points may have already been made. My apologies if they have. First thing in the morning one can't expect to be thinking clearly... Howard ------------------------------
