>1) Does anyone have a birth date, approximate or otherwise, for Argrath?

According to Sun County he won the Garhound Contest in 1604. He'd be
at least 18 and no more than 25 or so (he's described as having been
"young" when he won it; given that the typical contestant is in his
early 20s, you wouldn't describe someone older than 25 as "young" in this

context. But then I'm reading a lot into what was probably a throwaway
line. MOB, Philip, or John care to comment?)

There are some problems with this estimate, as I'd like to know during
which years he became an outlaw from Sartar and assumed his disguised
identity in Pavis (must have been before he won the Contest, so on
reflection he was probably closer to 25 than 18 in 1604).

>2) Can anyone explain what the Ygg's Island Vikings, variant Orlanathi, are
>doing waaaaay over there, far away from the main body of Orlanthi culture?

I'd guess that they boated there before the Closing. (Are there no Orlanthi
in Fronela?) Anyway, Orlanthi get around; having the Motion Rune as your
charioteer does that.

>And an extra one:

Cute. No clue about the question, though.
