Possibly, but the thought process should at least raise some interesting possibilities - are elves truly green or is it a symbiotic relationship with an alga, are trollkin due to something like a sex-ratio distorting bacterium (in which case they need to find the plant with the right antibiotic properties), do tuskriders represent a hybrid zone, are all those island-specific gods/spirits in the Eastern isles akin to darwin's finches and if so, what are the selective forces on each island, is Mallia evolving towards higher or lower virulence, is there parasite-induced behaviour in broo, does worshipping Thed increase or decrease fitness, is there a magical equivalent to DNA fingerpinting and who swapped the tubes, and so on.
