I know of no Gloranthan reference to Kallyr being a duck. The closest connection is "after Kallyr's Rebellion, the ducks were declared the guilty part by Fazzur Wideread, and a bounty of a years' worth of tax exemption was placed on each beak" or similar.

Kallyr is named Queen of the Kheldon.

All the material referring to Starbrow's rebellion was published first in an APA-zine, later reprinted in Wyrm's Footnotes (#13, IIRC) and Footprint.

There are two ways to go about this.

1. Multiple Kallyrs. If the Argraths can do it, why not the Starbrows?
2. A contemporary of Zin (the Fourth Age collector) making the same conclusion as apparently both John Hughes and Stephen Martin when hardly any information beyond RuneQuest rules were about.

Unless you make Kallyr a duck honoris causa. But then she'd also be a Telmori adoptee for her putting up a fight against Jomes Wulf... Received on Sat 14 Apr 2007 - 14:31:03 EEST
