I'll leave the Mastakos reference for know, not having a Drastic:Prax yet. Sure, it disagrees directly with Troll Gods. But that Troll Gods Annilla writeup has always been damn suspect.

But I completely fail to see why 'Loper People worship the Mastakos planet' implies 'Loper people have no connection to the Veldang'.

After all, the Loper People are blue. It seems pretty logical that they might decend from one of the other blue races, and the Veldang seem the most likely candidate. I certainly think having the Loper people linked with the Veldang of Pamaltela (land of whacky wildlife) seems more plausible than to link them with the Vadeli, Waertagi, or Pelorian Blues (and please, not another indepedendent blue race). I linked the Loper people with the Veldang only slightly because of the Blue moon connection, more the blue colour.

Cheers

David
