I think Chreotha might be the "soft" craftsmen. Especially weavers, tailors, etc. I seem to recall that Vlad's tailor and bootmaker as well as one person running the "front" to an office were Chreotha. The connection between the animal (a web weaving fox) and the skill seems reasonable. -Jot -- Jot Powers http://www.superpowers.us <books at bofh.com> CHRISTIAN, n.
