Thanks for answering some of my questions earlier! (And you're right about
me mistaking "you six" for "Ussex".) Here are a few more: 1) Okay, we know
Oberon has a son, a wife, and a mother. Obviously he had to have had a
father. So is Oberon's father around, and if so, who was he? 2) For that
matter, does Oberon have any siblings? 3) Is Oberon the most powerful fay,
or is there any fay more powerful than even him? (I'm talking about just
plain, brute magical strength here.) 4) You said that there were three
races in Nokkar's intergalactic war. The Space-spawn are one. What were
the other two (if Nokkar's race wasn't one of those other two)? 5) This
one has to do with Demona (again): I was thinking about her, and about
her genocidal plans, when I realized something. The Wyvern Massacre,
brutal and devastating as it was, wasn't enough to push Demona to the point
of exterminating humans. In fact, she actually _allied_ with a human
(Macbeth) about 45 years later. And I doubt her second clan meant as much
to her as her own. So this leads me to think that there was _some other_
event in her life, something that you haven't shown us yet, that really
made Demona not just hate humanity, but hate humanity _so much_ that she
wanted to destroy each and every last one of them. Am I right? 6) In the
proposed "Future Tense" cycle, about how old was Samson supposed to be,
anyway? I'm not asking for an _exact_ age, just an approximate idea of how
old he is. Is he a child? A teenager? An old man? Thanks for
answering these questions.

1. I'm not saying right now. I didn't plan on revealing Mab right away
either. You're just getting ahead of me.
2. Yes.
3. Mab is more powerful. No one else.
4. Nokkar's race IS one of the other two. (And keep in mind, I said
three races were the main players in the conflict. I never said
there were the only players.)
5. No. There were other events, but they were more cummulative than
defining. Wyvern is still the defining moment. She wasn't genocidal
immediately after Wyvern, because I don't think genocide occured to her. She
was alone (largely) and hunted. I don't think she felt that powerful. Her
brief alliance with Macbeth only confirmed her feelings about humanity. But
it also gave her immortality. The ability to start making some long term
plans. As I said, other things happened. But nothing as devastating as
Wyvern.
6. Samson will be born in 2058. The inciting incident of that
proposed spin-off series was to take place in 2158. I'm sure you can do
the math. (GDW / 12-5-97)
