Of course, after a while they began to ask me questions that I found it hard to answer, so I figured I'd start redirecting some of them here. :)
A subject of particular curiosity for some of them had to do with the Keets. However, when it turned out that the Keets are waterfowl (did I get that right?), the interest somewhat shifted towards the obscure mention of Parrot People on one of the East Isles. So, mostly I am curious to know whether anything is known about them, other than their general location and them being driven to near extinction.
Any other "parrots in Glorantha" topics would probably be appreciated as well, from what I'm led to understand. :P
On a related note there is some interest in the runic affinities of various animals. Why are birds and horses Fire-related? For the birds, is it just explained by the Vrimak legend and the association between different runes and different types of animals? What about horses (descent from the Hippogriff?)? Also, are there horses related to different runes (I know there are birds who defected to, say, Darkness, like ravens)? What about seahorses? :P
A different line of inquiry has to do with the topic of how one would go about killing Cragspider, after having been told some horror stories about KoDP. They want to know how it can be done in the universe, not necessarily by involving players. Personally I wonder if it's even possible, considering her ties with Arachne Solara - seems like this might be even tougher than killing the Only Old One or the God-King was... Annoyingly, she also lacks one of the two obvious troll weaknesses. It's daunting to realise that sometimes "kill it with fire" is not applicable advice.
Kind of a random collection, but I figure some of you might enjoy trying to address some of those questions. So, have at them! Maybe I'll remember some more later.
