The part about plundering cradles I don't understand is why the
giants didn't start escorting the cradles when they discovered that they
were being plundered. Imagine attacking a cradle escorted by Gonn Orta
and five similarly powerfull giants. Particularly if they were armed
with destructive implements that are in scale with the cradle's built in
defenses. Sor-eel would never have been that foolish....
