Ah, I hadn't noted the years for the EWF and God Learner Horse alliances. So, we get Pure Horse People come to Prax as EWF allies sometime before 620 (Battle of Necklace Horse). They then ally instead with the God Learners sometime after 720 (Thanrax the Fair of Jrustela and Firegleam). However, sometime around 830 the Pure Horse Tribe allies with Pavis, and thus can be said to be allied with the EWF again.
So, despite my confusion over years, my main point is still a valid one - -- was there one Horse Tribe constantly shifting allies (seems likely to me), or are there two, one allied to the EWF all along, the other to the God Learners.
I',m sorry Nick didn't read past the errors to the point of the posting, he might have been able to give an opinion on this matter.
There, was that under 20K?
Nick on Gold Wheen Dancers as Triskeles:

I don't understand this reference -- could you elaborate on this? I assume you mean Homer the Greek?
>and/or one of the Triskeles (a tripod of legs, perhaps holding up a

Hmm, an interesting thought, since Cwim came up recently -- Cwim is a large circular body/head, held up by three legs/bodies. It is often said that chaos entered the cosmos and corrupted or parodied everything it touched -- if Cwim is not a corrupted Giant Baby, could he be a corrupted Gold Wheel Dancer, or a chaotic imitation of them?
