What I meant to say was that I am not convinced that Fr Inire is an 
inhume or neighbor.

One reason is that the inhumi seem totally consumed with reproduction 
and passing as human. Quetzal, for example gets into Whorl politics on 
because he wants to establish a human colony on Green. That they would 
partake in some grand scheme for rejuvenating Urth seems beyond their ken.

Same with the Neighbors. Their interest (whatever it is) seems totally 
directed with Blue, not Urth.

And, no, I don't think Blue is Ushas either. When the subject was 
brought up, Wolfe --being ironic-- said "No! no! Urth is Green!". We can 
debate about what he meant by that, but he surely did not mean that Blue 
was in fact Ushas.
