>Paarfi obviously knows something about Tukko--he knows Tukko's full

If we take his writing at face value then Paarfi knows rather a lot about
the inner workings of Dzur Mountain. More than he ought to, in fact. When
describing the conversations of the Gods, he admits that he's making some
things up simply because a mortal has no way of knowing what was actually
said. He doesn't make any such excuses regarding Sethra and Dzur Mountain. 

If he's reporting accurately, where did he get the information if the only
witnesses to certain conversations were Sethra and Tukko? Notice that during
the battle with the Jenoine, Paarfi describes Tukko sitting while Dzur
Mountain goes into "weird science lab mode" all around him. How does Paarfi
know about this without having heard it from Tukko himself? Why has Sethra
allowed the information to reach publication? If Paarfi's not reporting
accurately, did he make it up out of whole cloth or did he base it on
rumors?

There's certainly some justification for the conjecture that Paarfi never
wrote a damn thing, and that Sethra or some one close to her actually
ghost-wrote his historical romances.
