Love TPG, another beautiful story. Re species unnamed, yes, the idea of a gryphon General and a porcupine Physician are cool. I also like the fox idea, although elecktrum's Sir Giles is a hard act to follow, too. Re Cook, I'm assuming that you need someone who can through. leaving out most four-leggers, and who can grasp the concept of preparing food for different species, thus, an omnivore of some sort. So what does that leave? Dwarf, Centaur (maybe), Faun?
On an (almost) entirely unrelated point, I was re-reading TPG, and I started to wonder about the Night Guard. Are they Palace Guard (and sworn), or something else again? Presumably, much of the business of state would be conducted in daytime, Peter's comments about night-time revels and treaties not withstanding, so presumably there wouldn't be the same need for a counsellor/manager. At the same time, as Ch. 1 pointed out, the Four are more vulnerable when at ease (ie. at night). So what's the deal here, because if Dalia becomes Night Guard, and the Night Guard is sworn, then she isn't forsworn at all (OK, enough swearing!)
On another tangent (wow, there's a lot of them over here), I know the assassination attempt is another plot device, but I was curious as to whether it's related the the troubles in Year 7, whether it's part of the business with the Lone Islands tax code, or something else entirely.
I'll stop asking questions now, so that you can think about TQSiT.
Untirely unrelated tangents coming up
