That's absurd. Many of the things in Talos' play did not play out in the
Urth Cycle quite as depicted in the play. The play mixed elements of Canog's
book, "Genesis" and extra-biblical sources with Talos' imagination. Only in
gross aggregate does the play reflect the events recounted in the latter
part of URTH. The particulars of the play are more than a little suspect
when it comes to trying to use them to flesh-out the bare bones of a
character scattered about the text.
