+1 to the list of "read a bunch of this poo poo in high school/college" pile. Been years since I read any of my old books that are packed away in storage, save for my well-worn copy of The Legend of Huma by none other than the WoW Lore Thread's favorite author punching bag, Richard A. Knaak.

I'm both looking forward to and dreading seeing where this thread ends up going.

IIRC, when Weis and Hickman handed over the reins to write, like, Darksword or whatever they told TSR, "Here you go, run with it, but please keep your drat hands off of all these things which are supposed to remain mysteries forever. #1: Huma and his legend. #2..."

And what's the first DL novel TSR releases that's not by Weis and Hickman? You guessed it...

Given the adversarial relationship Weis and Hickman had with TSR regarding Lord Soth and Ravenloft, this doesn't surprise me in the slightest.

Also, The Legend of Huma and all of Knaak's stuff involving minotaurs ruled, and I will die on this hill. Fight me.

This is also the origin of kender, and I believe gully dwarves as well.

Kender, yes. Gully dwarves were the result of gnomes and dwarves interbreeding, which adds a whole new layer of unintentional :yikes: to the whole mess.

Mormons are real fuckin' weird about "interbreeding".

I said "unintentional" because I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. I guess I should've known better. :sigh:

If I remember right, that one was "Colors of Belief" by Richard A. Knaak, in the "Reign of Istar" volume of the Tales anthologies.

Edit: Looks like I was wrong! :downs:
