James Frusetta:
Offhand, how 'bout humans ruled over by *elves*?

David Dunham:
Like much of Umathela? Sorry, but it doesn't seem terribly oppressive to me. More like being ruled by benevolent aliens. And at many times, the humans seem as much allies as subjects.

Me:
Doesn't that depend on whether the elves in your campaign are benevolent? Mine aren't. In my Pavis campaign, the natives view that perhaps the only thing good about trolls is that they keep the elves _in_ the Garden.

Maurice Beyke:
We know that there has been at least one elf-human crossbreed in Glorantha; Pavis (though admitted, this was probably done with strong Youf mojo). Also connected with Pavis, his kids (I believe) were said to have bred with Flintnail, a mostali. Has there ever been any troll-human crosses, however? Tuskriders are called half trolls, but I got the impression that was not literally true. Any others out there, and how hard would it be? I would think it would be easier than the other two, trolls being much more similar to humans than either are to elves or dwarves.

I view the half-elven Pavis as either a product of Sorcery (like the beastmen and (one) Tusk Rider theory) or the result of (good or bad) Heroquesting. In my Pavis, the races are not interbreedable. The above theory goes for Pavis' unnamed daughter who married Flintnail. Hang on! - - the Dwarves _do_ practice sorcery, don't they? Hmmm....
