the "Youf" rune was formed from its sound, in Greg's Dragonpass History, maybe it is only casual, or, it is perfectly IMHO, Youf was formed by the relationship between Orlanth and his Draconic-self Arangolf (aka Obduran?)

I think Heort put on authority as the councilor to priesthood after the failure of Sword and Helm War, atheist King Rastagar. And EWF is the failure derived from the Pristhood. Alakoring fixed that.

Its too small for True Dragon standard! Maybe Waertagi fix their ship made from the corpse of Dream Dragon dissolving into nothingness by some magical means.
I should consider to shrink my image more, perhaps I think Sothenik and his companions rode on an extraordinary gigantic ship.
