Damn David! I ask for a light and you give me the sun. This may be all we need
to know, not only about 5HoC but perhaps about Inhumi, the malevolent presences
on Urth, maybe an Evil Guest? Maybe everything?
 
#5 (heh) goes without saying. But #1 and #3 are really insightful and seem to 
have global impact on the lupine universe(s). Jeff doesn't like global impact
ideas, but I do.
 
No time now but these ideas are worth exploring in depth, (to the point of tossing
out some of my previous ideas).
