This just reminds me of how Pratchett took that same apocryphal racism and upended it for his trolls by making "one, two, many, lots" into a base-4 counting system just as sophisticated as base-10.


Back to Dragonlance: I guess I'll fess up to being The Biggest Goddamn Nerd of All Time and apparently the only person to read the post-Summer Flame novels, which I think were called the Fifth Age?
Highlights I vaguely remember fifteen years later:
• Evil dragon overlords replaced with bigger eviller dragon overlords… FROM SPAAAACE (literally; they were said to have come from other world through the void. They were still red, blue, white, black, and green, of course. Let's not get crazy or anything)
• Good knight order (honorable and just) and evil knight order (honorable and malicious) joined by neutral knights (honorable and… boring?) because there's definitely not enough rule of threes already in the setting
• Kender homeland gets demolished and now half of them have PTSD. Kender PTSD makes them act like normal people, who can feel fear and don't just grab things from other people without thinking about it. This is definitely a great idea that will age well.
