"All good thoughts, and I'll note them in a minute--but sadly there's still too much we don't know to do more than speculate." Loki mentally taking notes so he could add them in a moment.

"My personal theory is that Vaeros is a Usurper to the throne, but how he's doing it, or why--beyond power, is what we need to figure out. My best guess, is likely that the dragons are somehow the traditional power in this place considering there's a lot of dragon symbology around Somnius, but no one seems to know why. Some of the Gelflings also worship the Moon, and a dual deity cosmology isn't uncommon across realms. So a companion to the Moon wouldn't be unlikely. Further, 'Somnius' itself is a bit too close to latin for my comfort, and means 'a dream'."

There's a wry twist to Loki's mouth as he speaks again. "I might have to look up that play about you and yours, accurate or not. Among other works dealing with dreams. There's too much here that is similar to not be a thread--but how important it is, I couldn't tell you."
