i also think the same
I'm becoming increasingly convinced that goblins are elves but cursed by the gods since they fought against them...
there is a drake with a beard working for the bandit queen
The dwarves have it, presumably the gnolls do, considering what they are, and no reason the humans can’t, if I had to guess, it largely has to do with the fact that we are largely interacting with girls, teenagers, and drakes. Drakes basically being a lizard, wouldn’t have hair. The rest being a wash on whether or not they could have it. Probably just ends up either being something you don’t notice when you read about a character having it, or it just being a character trait that’s sort of in the background so it’s not important to discuss.
Why is there a distinct lack of facial hair in the TWI? Is it a snub to Tami, the bearded god, that characters don't even realize what they're doing? Can Gnolls, Drakes, and the lizard ppl of Balros grow facial hair?
Typhenous has a beard and Erin used to call Wesle fuzzy lips because of his mustache
The minotaur king is the most honourable minotaur so depending on how much she knows/accepts about goblins she might only want to prevent goblin kings from being created. I think the summoning spell that Rhir found was originally use to bring the goblins to innverse. They fought against the gods and were cursed by them. They can't enter the afterlife and gaining the king class drives them insane. They do share the trait that if one parent is a goblin/elf then the child will get most of there traits from that parent so I could be wrong here. Mrsha has the natural ally (fortress beaver) skill if I remember correctly.
I think I know what drives kings mad. The living people born in the world of innverse after the death of the gods can't believe in living gods. (Az'kerash being the exception) The knowledge alone kills them or forces them to forget. The leader of a goblin tribe can remember the lives of past goblins. The larger the tribe and the greater the class (chieftain
Thanks for the chapter! I was fully expecting Minos: Muscle-head edition to be them trolling at the camp bar.
Hail Pratchett :)
Great storytelling!
The minotaur king and the prince know the truth. They know what they saw was real, but to acknowledge it would challenge their entire people's sense of honor and therefore challenge all that they believe. It's easier to commit war crimes on a people when you don't recognize them as a people.
They prince doesn’t believe and the king doesn’t have enough evidence. Moreover the king needs enough evidence not only to convince her subjects but the rest of the world as well, lest she meet the fate of one who listens to the demons diplomats.
Great stuff
