(urth) do the Hierogrammates *care* about the megatherians?

First, I don't think the 'seventeen megatherians' were anything to do with 
Erebus, Abaia etc.  The number doesn't particularly match, but more 
important than that, we have a book called "The Lives of the Seventeen 
Megatherians" which has a somewhat historical feel to it, as if the story of 
the megatherians (whoever they were) is long over, which is not the case of 
the powers currently in the sea.

Apart from that I agree with the above.  Their intention is to rule Urth. 
If they survive they may well regroup and try to rule Ushas, but certainly 
the impression is given that they will be somewhat out of the picture, 
perhaps indeed destroyed by the events coincident with the advewnt of the 
White Fountain.
