Yes indeed, thanks to Fabian's note, I played the solo. It was indeed probably the most amusing solo I've ever gone through.
The Oceans stuff is essentially what was in Tales, but Umathela isn't in print anywhere else to my knowledge. (Note that it in a few particulars it may contradict what Sandy Petersen posted on Umathela a few years ago; I haven't yet figured out which interpretation is more fun.)

If you can handle a rather esoteric work in progress, The Fortunate Succession (available from Wizard's Attic) has some, though it's mostly disguised as history.

The latter. And I play that they won't eat them (though in truth, this latter part is probably observed in the breach in Prax's harsh environment).
