While I remain extremely dubious here, one can see the outlines of a
grand unification theory based on the already-mooted idea that humans
and human descendants are the only true sentients in the Solar
universe. This would make Inire human or human-descended, in which
case he could indeed father Ouen on Dorcas (though, if
"human-descended," he would have to be a fairly _close_ human
descendant, since Ouen is fertile).


Oh, and somewhere back there, someone wrote...

I don't think that's necessary. tBotNS was designed as a trilogy, and
the division of book 3 into tSotL and tCotA was a late decision
because volume three had gotten too big. There is no necessity that
someone who is designed to appear once-per-book would appear in both
of them.
