That would involve arguments with Yelm, wouldn't it? (Arguments with Orlanth
we can take as read).

"Done" in what sense? Some people may have played through it, others
haven't, and fitting this into back-story for Moraides is still a
possibility. I pick the Sky Ship because we know that lots of different
groups were on there, each for their own purposes. In fact, we almost have
to look at who *wasn't* involved. We know there were Lunars present,
remember - Kallyr got distracted into beating them up.

Sorry, don't know the myth well enough to say. But he, too, could have been
hitching a lift to some interesting bit of sky.

Because it's boring?

Tarsh experts, please? All I know about is the Earth side of things -
thunderbeasts, ploughing people (kings) into the fields....
