> The Mostali are the obvious example of non-sexual reproduction.
Unfortunately not. See the write-up in Elder Secrets where a male and female dwarf are secluded when mating is required, instructed in the use of their "mortar" and "pestle" and are left together to grind away for hours and hours, by all accounts a most unpleasant task. True Mostali are just fished out of a Crucible, but clay mostali have to do the deed.

Surely, they are found beneath Gooseberry bushes?

If I have dogs as pets, I do not become a dog. Hence Delecti is not a duck, even though he keeps them as pets (but don't tell the ducks).

Hmm, I thought the Oasis folk were of the Old Bloodline of Genert's people, Green Eyes and Olive skin, not of nomad stock. There has obviously been a lot of intermingling, normally when a nomad rider spots an oasis woman, but I think that the basic type is different.

Cheers, that'll do for me, especially in the light of Nick Brooke's
reply. Funny, I was looking at that map last night (now that my wife
does not scream at me when I do my hobby rather than learning
Russian) and did not spot this. That's why I re-read everything every
so often, just to make connections such as this. Normally I fail,
though.
