I think Loren has come up with the best possible answer for the half-elven
Pavis (in V6#465). I favour a blend of answers #2 and #4 myself. I think
I'll have to get my adventurers to discover some hints about the multiple
Pavises which the cult of Pavis will then want to suppress.
Good work 'Gloomshark' for asking this question. It has bugged me
occasionally for years but I never worked out an answer.
