Another one came back from the past the other day - apparently in some circles Vinga is still Orlanth's sister, not daughter. (shrugs) Fine by me. Y clan myths MV.

And on the subject of that "Y" bloke, I was told quite recently that Elmal is NOT a cognate, was NEVER a member of the fire tribe, and cannot possibly ever have had anything to do with the HoG at all, no, not even in that clan over there that have Got It Wrong.

I can only say "whaaa...???"

Do ducks have teeth?

Do they lay eggs?

Did they ever live at Duck Point?

Trollkin breeding rates - zero, so high as to swarm, or something in between?
