(urth) bsharp's Inire theory

[b sharp]

Jeff Wilson says in response to the suggestion that Hierodules are of the race 
of Hierogrammates:

>...no it doesn't count.

Where DO hierodules come from?  The larvae of Tzadkiel would seem to be involved
in sexual reproduction.  Tzadkiel herself engages in asexual budding and compares the
process to that of Porifera sponges which reproduce both sexually and asexually.  Are 
hierodules completely separate from these processes? I think they say a couple times
they don't serve Tzadkiel but rather the Increate directly so perhaps that is the case.

Regarding Inire's love life Jeff says:
>What kind of true love is he getting by lying about his species, or by 
>trying to impress pre-pubscent Chatelaines? You've repeatedly painted 
>him as a xenopedophile.

Cheeky chap! Fancy judging the gods' morality by contemporary Western standards. The 
legends seem to portray a range of devotion levels between gods and mortals. Some are
true and sincere such as Cupid and Psyche or Diana and Camilla. Others are midrange like
Aphrodite and Adonis or Apollo and Hecuba. Then we have Zeus who appears to have been 
the Bill Clinton of Mount Olympus, seducing or raping a long line of human females (I think
Europa was 12) in the guise of a bull, a swan, a golden shower of light etc... And (shades of 
Typhon) there were even a few pretty boys in the mix. But Bill does truly love Dorc..
..um, Hillary, yes?
