humm, ah well hunger is a problem. Aging has been explained to my
satisfaction, though certainly not beyond argument. Lacking better
evidence, I can chalk the "timely aging" vs "getting tired/injured of/by
the world" as a gentlemans disagreement.
Hunger does display a hole in my argument to which I have no complete
solution. I can put forward a few partial defences... but nothing I
could point to as entirely convincing.
In the case of the UZ, it's easy... Hunger is part of their being, and
they are always hungry. There is nothing cyclical about their eating...
they stuff anything that will fit down their gullets, and want more.
It is Possible, that all Man-Rune based creatures had a certain Hunger
level in god-time. sort of a gradient from UZ-Mostali (oh my, the
Mostali ceartainly have always believed in time...) ( <- heresy!!! )
um, is there PROOF that (non-Uz) were hungry before chaos entered the
world?... I Kinda like to envision the Green Age as a kinda Lion and
Lamb eden scene... that might work...
(hows that for a pathetic argument!)
I better let this simmer a bit before Gregging myself too heartily.
