Well, that would fit in with Noish-pa's "elf"-tag, but I think that Vlad mentioned somewhere that Sethra had the slanted eyes and ears of a Dzur, even though she had mostly Dragon features, which makes me think that Dzur must have _really_ pointy-ears. HEY THERE IS A SPOILER FOR _ISSOLA_ NOW, SO DON'T READ THIS IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THAT. SPOILER. SPOILER. SPOILER. SPOILER. MY ROOMMATE MAKES GOOD BEEF STEW. SPOILER. SPOILER. AND SO ON. Speaking of ears, since the left ear of the dzur of Dzur Mountain is artificial, does that mean that it's the replacement of the rock of Dzur Mountain that Sethra will one day be again? ... can I do confusingly-put-together sentences or WHAT? William Safire would cry. What I MEANT was, the left ear of the dzur of Dzur Mountain is artificial (the rest of the mountain might be too, but Vlad says that "the left ear we're sure about"). Sethra says in _Issola_ that she'll one day return to the stone of Dzur Mountain. Perhaps she was the stone that formed the original ear, and when she assumed human/Dragaeran form, she made the artificial replacement-ear-stone. This was probably already mentioned. I am not quick on the uptake. But if not, I throw it to y'all and go slink back under my rock to do homework. ¬ MJ ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ ~ A Pirate Looks At Twenty ~ http://erythros.livejournal.com/ ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ ________________________________________________________________ Get your own evilemail.com address at http://www.evilemail.com
