There are two big questions in the Whorl cycle that I think we are <BR>>
supposed to resolve but I see zero solutions to them:<BR>> 1. The
relationship between Silk, Tussh, and Typhon.<BR>> 2. How does an inhumi
become a vine?<BR></DIV></DIV>

style="FONT-STYLE: normal; DISPLAY: inline; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri'; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: small; FONT-WEIGHT: normal; TEXT-DECORATION: none">
<DIV><BR>I’m comfortable with the concept that the relationships are simply
those described in the book:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1. Silk was grown from an engineered embryo bought by Tussah. His
genetic parents on Urth have no significance to the story. Silk’s scanned
persona later merged with the remains of that of Typhon.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>2. Inhumi are animals, and have no relation to vines. [It may of
course be that particular plants of Green are of some nutritional significance
to the water-breathing juvenile form of the inhumi.]</DIV>
