What Ho Learnéd Chaps and Chapettes,

A few more Prax-related questions for you all, if one or more of you
would be so kind:

1. Which entity was it that came to Prax to kill Eiritha, from whom she
was being hidden when Tada buried her? 

2. When in the course of events did that happen?  Before the last stand
of Genert and the earth gods, or afterwards?  Was Storm Bull off doing
regular fighting at that point, or was he engaged in the great battle
leading up to his showdown with the Devil?

3. At what point did Tada die, where, and who killed him?  I have read
that it was Ragnaglar, but I also seem to recall reading that he fought
and beat Ragnaglar.  Not that the two are mutually exclusive...

4. Is Vrak Kargl Vozn simply the Praxian term for "the Devil" and
subject to the same confusion, or is Vrak Kargl Vozn solely the Praxian
name for Wakboth?

5. Do Praxians have a profoundly different view of what caused the
Darkness to Orlanthi?  The Praxian versions of tales about the coming of
Chaos seem to suggest that from an Praxian VP, the armies of Chaos crept
across the sky until they touched and destroyed Bright Treasure - which
to my understanding means Yelm (far more reminiscent of the description
of Wakboth's armies encroaching on the Spike, which then exploded, than
of Orlanth's slaying of Yelm).  On the other hand, Praxian comments I
have read about "Little Brother" indicate that they know of his part in
the coming of the Darkness, and of the LBQ he led to resolve matters.
(I know that they also believe that Storm Bull - and indeed Waha - had a
far greater hand in the return of Bright Treasure to the heavens than is
usually recorded in the Lightbringer version, but that doesn't strike me
as any more than everyone wanting THEIR god to get the lion's share of
the credit for setting the World to rights).

Cheers -

Malk.
