Here's some more to pick your brain with. I don't know the answers to any of these, and I'm wondering if anyone else does.
1) The fate of 'Renny', the first of Dr. Halbestrem's experimnets. He makes a brief apperance in, I believe Virtual Realities 2.0, then that's it. 2) The fate of Daniel Howling Coyote (other than ..."he mysteriously idssapeared' 3) What happened to the Great Dragon Earthroot/Root Protector (apparently Celedyr's mentor/teacher) other than conjecture about bring killed in his sleep. 4) What happened to leonardo after lowfyr trashed his little 'great porject'? There are some clues in Blood in the Boardroom. Any concrete answers? 5) Also another BinBR, who funded Arthur Vogel's Ares stock acquisition? 6) Cpt chaos' secret identity (I'm Batman! Would you like to ride with Batman!?) 7) The missing Coins of luck, any clues where? 8)Random items from Big D's will lick the Tapestry of Fate or the Ring of Ouroboros bequethed to Ryumyo. Any idea what the deal with these things is? 9) Another importnat one from the will. Dunkelzhan left a vaccine that was to be given to every child born after Oct. 31st, 2060. That date has passed. Any official answer as to which, if any , goverments actually did this? You would think the UCAS might at least CONSIDER it, since he WAS the President. 10) Kind of random one: Is Grind of the Red Hot nukes the same Grind from Assests, Inc? |

1) New Zealand
2) Harley appeared out of nowhere, slapped him, tugged him to the metaplanes, and shouted "Look what you did!!!" before leaving him there 3) worst hangover in draconic lore 4) working on a superconductor based computing system in the antarctic 5) Miramax 6) Marcus Antwel 7) Vegas slot machines by mistake 8) I don't want to lick either of them really 9) some book prevented it from happening, some enraged rant about it turning everyone into dragon-dependant slaves 10) read the physical descriptions, that should help you decide Disclaimer: The above may or may not be misinformation. Also, this dsclaimer may or may not be disinformation. |

From memory ... with a bit of conjecture.
#2. Danny Boy makes an appearance in the third book of the Secrets of Power trilogy of novels. #4. Personally, I think he's enslaved in Antarctica working on Matrix stuff for Golden Snout. #7. Lung has the Second. He is trying to acquire the First and Fourth (he doesn't want all 4). Sharon Chang-Wu, the wife of Wuxing CEO Wu Lung-Wei has the Third. Wuxing wants all 4. The Fourth I believe is in the hands of Akira Kageyama. I don't know the current whereabouts of the First. #8. The Tapestry hangs in the White House. #9. A Humanis raid destroyed the vaccine, preventing it's distribution. |

I forget what book, but I think it was DoSW, that basicly said that Elf was dead.

Daniel Howling Coyote, does anyone else think he is the Guide person referred to in SoNA as Whitebird's teacher?

Hmmm... in the back of SoTA 2064 in the listings of top ten runs, one was about a team that acquired something of value from the estate of someone important in HK. I don't have the book on hand right now, but it did say who's estate it was. It wasn't any of the people listed by Fortune was it? Because if so, there might be a new owner for one of the coins... ;) |

The First Coin was given to a fisherman, who was subsequently killed and the coin taken, only to be stolen again (and again). It made its way to Denver, where it again was stolen and disappeared, this time with no known trace.
The locations of the Second and Third are confirmed in canon (DotSW) as of 2064. The Fourth was covered in Tails You Lose (IIRC). |

It was the subject of one of the novels. Going from memory, I think it was The Forever Drug.

So why would it only be specifically given to children born after Oct. 31st, 2060? According to Ancient History's research ...

Tieflings, T'Skrang and Obsidimen mainly.
T'Skrang are about the closest to half dragons out of the three, if that's what you're looking for. I'm not sure any of them are related to the vaccine, but I would imagine one or more of them will show up again at some point. |

Can you build a T'Skrang out of SURGE effects?

Tieflings are the feind -blooded guys from D&D. I think you're thinking of windlings, the little sprite guys w/ racial astral sight. I wonder if the mystery lady of the Draco Foundation(gracie I think) is one ofthe first. If I remember right, the Tir Na nog source book made some reference to Sprites as well. Are these the critters, or the first windlings?

Believed to be both. Sprites have not yet shown signs of sentience; this may have been damage sustained somehow or a sign that their sentience is dependent on mana level.

While I can get my brian around t'skrang actually being metahuman (allowing for draconic meddling of some sort), I kind of doubt obsidimen are "human." They're just too different; born from rocks, asexual, etc.
