Totally agree. Grass is Eiritha's Bounty. Anything else is a stupid Outlander, ground man, or Oasis scum idea.

I agree. The 48 old ones are not related to the Horn of Plenty (or at least, not that I've seen). The Horn of Plenty is (I think, not being with any resources) a tip of Eiritha's own horn. Other's say that it is the tip of Genert's "horn" but I doubt it.
Rob:
> Where does it say Prax is scarrd by fire?
Many places. Oakfed ate the entire forest of Prax. I think that qualified, since the way he eats is to burn everything to the ground. If it was real world, I'd say that the intensity of the heat sterilized the soil.

Nope. Trollpack shows that a Chaos army came right through once and the Devil's body is still there. It is more fertile because Eiritha is buried in Prax and it receives her special blessing.

Working on it.

I dimly recall that he was a Heortling, but have no idea where I saw this. Personally, I think the Monkeys drove him out in a prior age, proving exactly how wimpy Little Brother's people are.

I agree with this, so far.

I don't think so. The loss of fertility is asociated with the death of Genert in multiple places.
I don't recall an references positively stating that the Oasis Folk's ancestors tilled the land. During the Golden Age, Prax was a forest, fruit would fall to your hand, and rabbits would leap into your pot. I see their current efforts as bing more along the lines of gardens (squash, beans, and the like) and orchards (date palms), not amber waves of grain.

If you mean into the HQ Orax project, very little to none. I read zero French, so am dependen ton others to make suggestions. Plus, my focus is on the nomads, not anything around that slum in the middle of our lands.
