> I'm more irritated by the implication that the Aramites were anything but pig-loving humans in the First and early Second Age. I think that the distinctive halftroll look started with Varankol the Mangler.

You might be true. But *everyone* knows the Tusk Riders came to Ralios in the First and Second Ages. And that's a detail going back to Borderlands (which btw is why the main entry on Tusk Riders pertains to *Prax*).

> If that KoDP episode can be trusted, they have an adoption rite which turns a human into a tusk rider that even breeds true. I think that Varankol pioneered that method.

That's certain *a* theory. But not the only one.
