After recently rereading RQII and Cults of Prax I encountered a couple of passages they left me with questions.
First, after reading RQII, the following quote is under Monetary Base, referring to silver coins. "In Sartar it is called a Sovereign, and in the city of Corflu, run by various guilds, it is called a Guilder." I don't recall mention of these guilds in River of Cradles. Is there any other source for these guilds (perhaps Nomad Gods, of which I only have the map), or is this an oversight or change?
Second, in Cults of Prax, under Nomad Weapons and Magic: "Some of the other mounted clans are the Bolo-Lizard people and the Ostritch Riders, a reptilian group." Both sound fascinating. Does anyone know how big Bolo-LIzard riders are (I suspect they are also pygmies like the impala riders. BTW, what SIZ are pygmies I have always wondered what people use)? Also what sort of reptiles are Ostritch riders (newtlings/crested outlaw dragonnewts something else perhaps)? I have a write-up of the ostritch riders from Heroes but it has pymies riding them. I'm sure the answers to these were probably in Nomad Gods but again that source is lost to me.
I'm aware all of these things may have been transmogified by the powers that be, even so I am curious about the original concepts behind them (especially the reptilian Ostrich riders).
