It's a rather big stretch for me to imagine Steve wouldn't *ever* sarcastically self-parody himself would he? (Incidentally, the "Gods playing at Eidelons" bit at the end of this section is absolutely fabulous. It also gives us the complete rules for the Dragaeran game of "Seven-Clawed Jhereg", which bears some striking similarities to Hold 'em... (Insofar as it is obviously exactly the same game). This bit also gives nearly a complete breakdown of what a Dragaeran deck of cards consists of. I am currently considering the best way to add this information to the wiki.) >Sethra turning herself into a man and living Paarfi's apparently >semi-decadent life, including seducing one of his groupies... That was my feeling, as well. This just doesn't seem too likely. Majikjon
